Was George Bush a good president?
Since there are no metrics to objectively measure the outcomes and ramifications of a Presidential term, until perhaps years have gone by, this can only be answered with opinion, the following various answers are offered as representative opinions:
No he has messed up the whole country.
*
He is not that good, but not as bad as most people say he is. Like, how was he supposed to stop a hurricane?
*
Based upon economics alone...my opinion would be NO. The national debt increased during his administration BY THE TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to higher than the national debt increases of all the prior US presidents in history COMBINED.
*
Yes. Without him, the Terrorists would be winning, the National Debt would be higher, abortion would be more freely, and Palestine would be Muslim.
*
No he is the worst President the U.S. has ever seen. For one who says the terrorists aren't winning. also the National Debt is the highest it has ever been (FYI, the National Debt is because of Congress which is run by Democrats). Can't you see this is just what they wanted. Because of this unwinnable war, more people are dieing (and we've lost five thousand in the war-- and we've aborted 40 million babies) and the national debt goes sky high. The stock is the lowest it has been in years and who is to blame? BUSH!!!

Actually I would like to say that the Bush tax cuts helped improve the economy, Obama's plan will do the opposite, yet he always refers to the failed economic policies of G Bush. He isn't the best president, but he isn't the worst. At least he has enough decency and morals to not get blown in the Oval Office and at least he is fighting the terrorists that attacked us and killed Americans. I'm glad. I've been in Iraq and I knwo whats really going on over there. All the Media and Liberals are wrong about whats going on over there. You never hear about the schools and hospitals we are building, and the military and law enforcement we're training, and the children who are having their first chocolate bar, and the children who are being vaccinated against Polio, Measles, and every other thing we can think of and afford. Like I said, he isn't the best president we've ever had, but I feel safer with him in office than I will if Obama gets in. Think about it and then ask yourself, should we be over there. (And yes I'm talking mainly about the war, becauses its one of the most important issues) Having seen the look on children's faces when they do eat their first candy is the most satisfying experience ever. I've even adopted 2 orphans from over there because me and my wife can't have children.
*
Yes, he is. I'm sure he did a better job protecting us then Obama will, especially considering Obama wants to "meet with our enemies"? what is his problem. He did do a good job as a president.
*
I believe that Bush was a horrible president.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And im totally proud of the guy that threw a shoe at him.!!!!!!
*
NO!! He definetly was the worst president this country ever had! Of course he can't stop a hurricane but he could've gotten there alot quicker! It didn't take him 5 days to help the tsunami people! And also he is the reason for 9/11! He wanted to be an idiot and blow the towers up for money! Everyone is so worried about Obama cause of his skin when they need to look at Bush and realized how messed up he made this country! Don't hate Obama cause of his skin..it's about time we have some change in this country..good change..and i think Obama will do great!!

The former president is correctly addressed as Gov. Bush. His wife, who was THE Mrs. Bush when he was president, reverts to being Mrs. George W. Bush, as her mother-in-law became again Mrs. George H. W. Bush after her husband's administration. Similarly, the sitting vice president is the only Mr. Vice President, and his wife is simply Mrs. (or Dr.) Biden.

Obama is not a Muslim, if that's what your asking.
Muslims do not eat pork, neither do Jewish people.
Obama is Protestant, just like most Americans.
Maybe he doesn't like pork, but he's not barred from eating it.
My wife won't eat veal, hardly reason not to elect her to some office or another, and the little baby veal calves love her too.
I think the question would have been answered easier with a simple yes or no. Not a dissertation on your political beliefs.
