people hate Bush, no one even gives him a chance Options

Sometimes a political figure becomes so hated that he can't do anything right in the eyes of his enemies. President Bush has achieved this rare and exalted status. His critics are so blinded by animus that the internal consistency of their attacks on him no longer matters. For them, Bush is the double-bind president.

If he stumbles over his words, he is an embarrassing idiot. If he manages to cut taxes or wage a war against Saddam Hussein with bipartisan support, he is a manipulative genius.

If he hasn't been able to capture Osama bin Laden, he is endangering U.S. security. If he catches bin Laden, it is only a ploy to influence the elections.

If he ignores U.N. resolutions, he is a dangerous unilateralist. If he takes U.N. resolutions on Iraq seriously, he is a dangerous unilateralist. If he doesn't get France to agree to his Iraq policy, he is ignoring important international actors. If he supports multiparty talks on North Korea, he is not doing enough to ignore important international actors.

If he bombed Iraq, he should have bombed Saudi Arabia instead, and if he had bombed Saudi Arabia, he should have bombed Iran, and if he had bombed all three, he shouldn't have bombed anyone at all. If he imposes a U.S. occupation on Iraq, he is fomenting Iraqi resistance by making the United States seem an imperial power. If he ends the U.S. occupation, he is cutting and running.

If he warns of a terror attack, he is playing alarmist politics. If he doesn't warn of a terror attack, he is dangerously asleep at the switch. If he says we're safer, he's lying, and if he doesn't say we're safer, he's implicitly admitting that he has failed in his core duty as commander in chief.

If he adopts a doctrine of preemption, he is unacceptably remaking American national-security policy. If the United States suffers a terror attack on his watch, he should have preempted it. If he signs a far-reaching antiterror law, he is abridging civil liberties. If the United States suffers another terror attack on his watch, he should have had a more vigorous anti-terror law.

i don't hate bush. i think that he makes a poor president with too narrow minded views.

i'm not going to point specifically to people i'm talking about but:

GET OUT OF IRAQ NOW! SAVE THE TROOPS! thousands of these people rally in new york city each year to protest the iraq war. and several people already said, the war has to stop or the troops needed to come home. they say bush is killing our troops.

what is he going to do? pull the troops out? bullshit. peope who advocate that do not think past immediate results or understand war. america started the war and we must stick to it because if we leave, all hell will break lose. bush has no choice. he is stuck between a rock and a hard place. he started it, he must see it out the end and america must follow.

do you think bush likes sending troops to a dangerous combat zone? no. he is not the one killing the troops and it demonizes him if one says so.

bush is a good person with strong religious (most of which i don't agree with). he just mad bad decisions.
