The 43rd president of the United States, George W. Bush was controversially elected in one of the closest races of U.S. history. The difference between he and his opponent, Vice President Al Gore, was 527 votes.

As a conservative Republican, Bush's policies have included tax cuts, military spending increases, and a ban on federal funding for stem cell research.

The September 11th attacks occurred during his first year as president and Bush's approval ratings soared after the tragedy of that day. His



More response was a U.S. sponsored invasion of Taliban controlled Afghanistan by the Afghan Northern Alliance. A new government has since been elected in Afghanistan and skirmishes are still being fought with the Taliban and other groups.

In 2003, Bush made what was likely his most controversial decision yet: to act on the apparent threat of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction by invading Iraq. The United States and a "Coalition of the Willing" removed Saddam Hussein and his Baathist government from control over Iraq and helped create a new Iraqi democracy. However, no weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq, forcing many people to assume that the claims presented by the Bush administration were false, or that there was a lack of information in the nation's intelligence services.

In 2004, Bush won re-election over John F. Kerry.

In 2005, the devastation of Hurricane Katrina was followed by questions about the response of the Bush administration. Many think that the government was slow to react to the emergency in New Orleans, some even allege that racism played a role in the response. This, along with allegations of a leak within the White House, had led Bush's approval ratings to an all time low. He left office on January 20th, 2009.

    I don't know if he is a spoiled brat but I know that he sucks at being a president. hide show

    George W. Bush, in my opinion, is the worst president ever and I have my reasons why he is. First of all, he focuses way too much the war in Iraq and plus he uses our tax money to buy more weapons when us, the people in the United States need it. Second, the economy crisis thanks to him that happened then may people who are working are getting less money and what makes this worse is that a lot people are losing jobs and there are people who want to get jobs but they mostly don't get the job which really sucks.

    Overall, George W. Bush is the worst president and he shouldn't even be our president, I mean its ridicilous that someone like him can make the United States which he is not doing at all. I gave props for that guy that throw a shoe at him but if only it really hit him, it would have been better. Well anyways this is my opinion and I have a feeling that Barack Obama will be a way better president that him, he needs to change a lot of negative things that President Bush did, if he does then the United States will be better.

    George Walker Bush is the 43rd president of the United States. hide show

    In my opinion, George W. Bush is not the best president that the United States of America has had, but he is certainly not the worst either. Sure, I believe that our troops have been overseas for too long, but I also believe that if we hadn't fought in the first place, we would have been bomed even worse after 9/11 (which dosen't seem possible.) Still, I think of people like Gandhi and Rosa Parks who were able to recieve what the wanted without ever physically hurting anyone else, so it makes me wonder. I think Bush has done many things that have made him a great leader, like trying to make peace with Iraq and Afghanistan, allowing girls in those countries more rights, and fighting to stop abortions (I'm pro-life, by the way.) George Bush is a great man with good Christian values, and even though he had a drinking problem, he was able to recover, which not many alcoholics can do. George Bush may not be our greatest president, but for anyone who would like to be a Bush-basher, try running the 3rd largest country in the world in both land and population for a day!

    Worst...President...Ever hide show

    The WORST PRESIDENT EVER! How in the world do they let him get away with stealing an election, ruin the economy, and do absolutely nothing for Katrina and Ike victims. And somehow, this punk gets a second term?!! I get disgusted just by looking at his face. Look at the great people who have been president. Washington, Lincoln, FDR, JFK, and the republicans had to bring shame to America by playing dirty politics. They don't care about America, they just care about themselves, their money, their stocks, and how much more they can take from us to fill their pockets. And yet, some people would still vote for McCain.

    Uh...what can i say about this man??? He kinda embarrasses me when i have to say "Yep, that guy is ruling our country..."
    I bet you everybody and their mother around the world are asking us "You elected him???" Well i didn't I'm still a minor... hide show

    He is not the very greatest but he is not the drop dead worst. He started this war in Iraq and because of that, we're having problems in economy. People don't have to make fun of him, he can do it all by himself with his speeches...Al Gore should have won but i don't know what the hell happened in Florida. Now we're fighting a pointless war and people here in America and all over the world are suffering for it. But think about this, at least Bush isn't stupid enough to fire nuclear bombs all over the place...see? Some good...
