Bush is a disgrace to the office of POTUS. Not only is Iraq a debacle, costing thousands of American lives and Trillions of dollars, but as someone else reiterated, Bush is determined to give this country away to criminal invaders.

Bush needs to be impeached NOW. He is a TRAITOR.

Mr. Bush is a lost cause because his house of cards was just that. He is just another typical politician that blathers words to fit a mold but really doesn't have any foundation from which to stand.

He is a hypocrit of the ultimate kind, which is part of why our political system in general is so bankrupt. The Republicans are the stooges of Corporations and K Street and the Democrats are beholden to archaic and corrupt Unions and populism.

What is the informed citizen to do in such a situation? How do we even acknowledge an election as a 'choice'? Bush is just a part of a bigger problem, one that is mainly the fault of Americans themselves and their lack of understanding, education and interest in their country and political system.

The comments thus far reflect those sentiments exactly.

note; the 25 prominent people that think they know everthing are dem's. do you really believe that they are capable of giving an honest view.

Bush never had a "bond" with America. He was barely elected running against poor opponents, his first election had to be decided by a conservative supreme court. He got his wish to go to war and now and forever will be known as the Alfred E. Newman of American presidents. He has spent the little capital he had. It is gone, but there never was a bond.

It's people who say simple-minded slogans like "America First How About It" that gave Bush the momentum he needed to bring our country down to the level we now find ourselves. If you want America to be first, start asking hard questions of your government. Do your homework about what's really going on here and around the world. Hold your leaders accountable for their actions.

President's Bond With US 'May be Lost'.

MAY be lost?
Have you been living under a rock for the last year or so?

Bush is a loser - until the republican congress says enough - let's get rid of him - we are dying as a country - plain and simple...

Bushes legacy has been lost due to his loyalty to the Corporations and dis-loyalty to the American people his Anti-immigration law bill and pro Free trade (i.e. exporting American Jobs) will bury him and his republican party faster than the war on Iraq I voted for him both times but I will not vote ever again for another so-called free trader

Seems to me its not just the War in Iraq. In Fact, I support the President in that war, although I believe its being used as a distraction for the real agenda...GLOBALISM! I resent the way the administration is stealthally ignoring the real problems in America, 1) the collapse of the middle class 2) the invasion of illegals from Mexico, Central and South America, China , etc. 3) the deterioration of the dollar along with massive spending/bebt on the new American welfare state. 4) Vindictive prosecution of Americans including Border Patrol Agents along with granting of immunity for an illeal alien drug smuggler who is now sueing the US for violating his civil rights. It seems that illegal aliens are granted civil rights while citizens are being malisiously persecuted.

Give me a break with the histrionics. Bush isn't Washington or Lincoln, and he hasn't yet fought to win in Iraq. But he's also overseen the freeing of millions of people and enacted policies that have kept us from domestic attack for five-plus years in an age where millions of dangerous people very much want nothing else but to see us all dead. He's also the first U.S. President since the days of the Barbary pirates, including his father and Clinton and Reagan, to see Islamic extremism as the threat it truly is and to do something about it.

I know, I know. Halliburton Bush is Dumb Bush Lied Chimpy McSmirk. But after you're done, take a grown up look at what's really happened.

Lets see here..JFK brought us VietNam (at first just trainers) and the Bay of Pigs Fiasco.
Jimmah gave us a fiasco in the desert of Iran while trying to "save" diplomats held by the Revolutionary Guard. Bill C. sent cruise missles into Iraq. Seems that the Party affiliation has little to do with who gets us in trouble in the world.

IRAN SUX: Buddy, you got that all wrong.

The US in Iraq = the Problem.

Wake up and smell the reality.

El Presidente Vicente Bush should be impeached for refusing to uphold his oath of office to protect our borders from alien invasion. His lack of action to protect our southern border and his refusal to deal with the MILLIONS of alien invaders in our country is disgraceful. I voted for him twice, and I sincerely regret it.

There is an old saying - "People deserve the government they elect". What we have today is NOT the fault of George Bush but the fault of every single American that voted for him and his cronies - SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!

This "gut-level bond"...what Dowd is saying, if I understand him correctly, is that the Reagan Era innovation of Stupid Is Good and its convention of Stupid Is Popular has run its course.

Maybe it was all just stupidity. Actually, forget the "maybe". It was.

Bush should be impeached for not only mis managing Iraq, he got us in but won't let the generals finish the job. In addition he has thrown open the borders, put border patrol agents in jail on the word of a repeat drug smuggler, he is bringing in 7000 refugees from Iraq, he has just made a worse deal with North Korea than Clinton did. I am a life long conservative and voted for Bush twice and he has destroyed the Republican Party. He has guaranteed Hillary as our next President and a Democrat Congress for years unless the Republicans in Congress start the process to remove him from office and get back to the true roots of the party. Frank

Mr Dowd is trying to get on a train that left the station several years ago. Now the only person who believes Bush is Bush and a couple of abortion clinic bombers. Also, well put Chuck, shame on the news outlets for letting the lies go unchallenged. We deserve better from the press.

If you think we have problems now wait until a million people from Iraq are allowed in to the US because of the collapse that follows our withdrawal. And these people will not be vetted any better than the Bosnian that terrorized the Mall in Utah.

I would love to see Americans express an opinion on fact rather than emotion! All I see is emotional based opinion with very little, if any, facts to back the opinion up. It is a fact that Saddam gave $25 Thousand for each suicide bomber in Isreal. It is a fact that Saddam actively pursued Nuclear technology in the past. It is a fact that Saddam marched his opposers out of an auditorium and had them tortured and/or executed when he first took power. It is a fact that he has used chemical and biological weapons on the Iranians and his own people. It is a fact that there was a concensus that he still had those weapons before the United States went in and removed him from power. People are bashing our President because things aren't currently going well on the War on terror, which Iraq now is. However, what war has went well if you think about it? If you measure how well a war goes based on casualties, we are doing pretty well! In WWI and WWII we lost hundreds of thousands of military personnel. In the Korean Conflict and Vietnam we lost less than 100 thousand military personnel. in Iraq we have lost just over 3000. If you put that into perspective on how many U.S. citizens die in a year here in the United States due to violent crime, it is a fraction. think about it for a while. No war has a good outcome for soldiers, but the long term results of fighting an enemy fixed on ideology and allowing those who do the fighting to do what it takes to win is priceless! Putting limits on their abilities will ultimately lead to failure and that is what a majority of you, the American people are wanting! Help our military men and women do what it takes to win. That doesn;t include limiting the number that can go and fight, nor does it mean bring them home when the jobs not done!

Charles Krauthammer said it best and it applies to the mainstream media and most of the posters here: "Bush Derangement Syndrome: the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency -- nay -- the very existence of George W. Bush."
