He wasn't all bad...

[Farnan]

Ok President Bush wasn't the best president or even good, but he wasn't all bad.

Some things he did:

1. Strengthen Indo-American relations.
2. Walked the tight rope of Sino-American relations and kept us at least amicable.
3. Urged against violence against Muslims after 9-11.
4. Helped fix Iraq (though he broke it badly in the first place so that probably doesn't count).
5. Recognized Kosovo

[The Good]

Exactly, those are good things there. By the way, is that Bill Clinton President School just a fake?

[Kiljan Arslan]

Well he was better then the fallowing, Nixon, Wilson, Harding, Buchanon, Hays, and Hoover, still put him in the bottom ten.

edit artorius yes it is.

Hell no, he wasn't better than Nixon (who I dislike, and would've prolly hated had I been an adult at the time...). Nixon accomplished miracles of foreign policy, under much more difficult conditions than Bush enjoyed. Insecure, paranoid, megalomaniacal, corrupt, ruthless...and effective...Bush is no comparison.

8) put the hurt on those asswipes Al Qaeda

someone has already said this but erm.... ya, Al Qaeda's numbers have swollen. pre-bush it was just a hum drum terrorist group, now its your end all be all, New York Yankees of terrorist groups.

Oops.

You forgot four of the main guys he is (not "was", people) better than (there are others).

Teddy, FDR, Carter, and Clinton.

Bush is a particularly average president.

Flamewar is on especially number 5. Its about 6am in Eastern Europe right now. Wait till they wake up.

IDGINAMA (I don't give a damn I'm not a mod anymore)

bushbush: Not arguing with you that he was bad, but in belittling people we sometimes forget that they did some good things, and Bush wasn't Hitler so don't make that comparison.

[C-Rob]

LMFAO! Awsome, purely awsome! QFT.

But I think that yes, he did all five of those things and those things were good.

relative to what he screwed up...he was pretty bad..

but i agree, in terms of Sino-US relationship, he did a fairly good job, especially meditating between China and taiwan.

let's also add a couple more:

6. north korea now on the track of abandoning nukes
7. Libya did so under his reign.

6) Increased aid to Africa to combat AIDS/malaria etc

As bad of a President as he has been, he deserves credit for what you just mentioned.

No, that's one of the horrible un-Constitutional socialist things he did that made him so average (average for the modern US politician being horrid).

It's not the place of the US government to take care of Africans.

Unless you want to show me where the Constitution gives them the power to do that, then by all means...

Providing aid to suffering people is unconstitutional?

[Justice and Mercy]

Providing aid to suffering people is unconstitutional?

Giving money to try and slow/stop the spread of disease in Africa is unconstitutional.

Unless, again, you want to show me where the Constitution gives the government this power.

Diverted funding from contraception to promoting abstinence in Africa... one step forward two steps back

[Justice and Mercy]

Yeah, he shouldn't have done that either. It, like giving money to help AIDs victims in Africa, is unconstitutional.

[Tominokar]

Aid was already being delivered to Africa, Bush just changed the way it's used. Promoting abstinence is a waste of time, and does not work- distributing and educating about contraception does.

The fact that aid was being delivered to Africa doesn't make increasing the funding any more Constitutional.
