Do American citizens really like George W Bush?

I am not American and have never lived in the country but I studied American politics in college 5-6 years ago. I do watch the news and stuff and I am interseted in what goes on around the world. I have been wondering though if there are so many people in the US that dislike Bush (and have no problem in showing it) then why is he still the President? Is what we see in tv or read in the papers all talk and no action? Or is it just that people pretend they don't like him but actually vote for him? Thanks whoever answers and hope I didn't offend anyone.

Do American citizens really like George W Bush?
When a president is elected, they hold the office for 4 years. Even if a majority of the population decides they don't like him, after all, he can't be removed unless he's impeached by the legislative branch of our government.


He has to have committed what they deem to be an impeachable offense.


Then he still may retain the office if not convicted for the offense.


So, no, we the people, cannot get rid of Bush.


As far as the vote goes, Bush "won" with only a 2-3% majority, and a lot of people here dispute the accuracy of that. There are a lot of people who believe that the election was "rigged" in various ways to ensure that slight majority.
Reply:The country was nearly split on Bush during the last election. I don't believe anything was rigged. Since the election, Bush's approval rating has plummetted to previously-unseen lows. It was around 34% of the country that approved of his job performance last week in USA Today. Report It

Reply:i care very much for my President. The media and the left Democrats hate him. Thank-you for your question. Report It

Reply:You don't hear much from us that are proud of President Bush because most of our news and media are Democrats or Liberals that hate him. They also do all the whining and crying because they lost the elections. We who like Bush are just quieter. I wish you could hear more from my side.
Reply:Some people do like him apparently but he's less popular since the war. A lot of the people voted for him again because they were afraid to get a new president while our nation is at war. I heard a lot of military people say that. Maybe it's fear of the unknown. Politics can be tricky.


We didn't really have much to choose from in the last election.
Reply:I am an American and I like him and I voted for him and I am proud of it and I would do it again. I am not a Republican I vote for who has the best Ideas and seem to the most honest and sincere.
Reply:It is called the vocal minority.Conservatives very seldom feel the need to seek out media coverage,we just vote.
Reply:Mostly the people who like him are from the Conservative or Republican political parties. Those who don't are mainly of the Democratic or Liberal political parties.





That does not mean that every Republican and Conservative like him - some just like to keep their party in power.





It also does not mean that EVERY Democrat or Liberal dislikes him.
Reply:I disagree on some of Bush's policies but I still like him as president. And be careful with what you see on T.V. It's not very accurate and tends to only show the extremes of most issues. But I do find it kind of annoying how many countries and people concentrate their hate for certain policies just towards the U.S. when there are many many other countries that I could talk crap about all day without stopping.
Reply:I definitely don't support Mr. President Bush. His views are so off from my own and also from some of the polls that i have seen. I am a moderate conservative, but i am completely liberal as far as the civil movement goes. As long as there is intolerance and semantics dividing people i will be there trying to help everyone. Love is stronger than politics.





Its also much harder to remove him from office especially during a war time. I actually voted for him the second time around because if Senator Kerry took office we would have complete chaos. Imagine Bruce Almighty with the answer all yes button on the laptop.





Had to vote against a public liar, of course.





Don't worry, even in other countries, you are still granted the same allowance to question us, so if you offend someone they are the ones with the problem, and they don't have to answer your question.
Reply:may be yes.
Reply:i AM american but i dont live in that country anymore and i did NOT vote for bush to be in office... i am NOT republican i vote democrate but bush is running his office with his father by his side i reckon. If i had to bet bush his influenced by his father on the decisions he is making.. i mean common like he would want to hurt nearly ALL the oil refin. that he owns on land AND in water.. uuughhhh
Reply:the damn uneducated, god loving/fearing, fat red states love the guy while in san francisco and many other metropolitan areas he is loathed. I for one will say he is a moron and needs to be removed from office but with republicans in control of the house and congress, it will never happen
Reply:Because he cheated. They rigged the computerized voting machines because the Diebold CEO promised to "deliver Ohio" to Bush--and countless other voting "irregularities." Yup, we live in a dictatorship where the people have absolutely no say in what happens in their own government, much less their own country.
Reply:I like President Bush. I think he got a lot of bad info on Iraq and now he is taking a beating for it. The media only reports things that sell papers and bad news sells. There are many positive things happening in Iraq, but do we see them on TV or in the papers? No, because that does not sell.
Reply:Most people don't really think. G W doesn't really care about you, he is only concerned about following through with his agenda, helping rich people, the republican party, his cronies and changing laws that destroy your environment. Your great grandchildren will be right in the smack middle of the worst DEBT ever created just because GW wants to look good. He is a feeble minded piss poor leader, and I'm ashamed of the American people who voted for him. Sorry you were fooled. Why don't you research the Internet and find out what he really has done to this country!
Reply:They must like him or why did they vote for him. Unfortunately, because of the undemocratic electoral system and the reliance on donor contributions the US electorate do not get much of a choice. The TV and papers are also run for commercial gain and there is no effective public broadcasting system. A change will come but it will take years.


In the meantime, George will pass on power to another president who has been backed by big money and the new president will have to look after his rich constituents.
Reply:I have to say I wish Cheney takes him hunting with him next time. He is not a good leader role model for our future . He half the time looks so dumbfounded that I just cant wait till his term is up I think we all need to stand up and figure away to get him out of office sooner it just sucks for all we need to protest him what are we at war for so he can become richer and we keep losing our jobs I feel sorry for all the milary they are giving up everything that were suppost to be fighting for when nothing has seem to make a difference. we need our hearts and soul back. he does not do that for americans he just dont. I want it to be safe for us all but our troops need to be home with there family now we sould have already been done fighting no matter what happens over seas the gas prices stll would have went up this is another way for him and his family to be verrrrrry wealthy . He needs to worry about everyone. thats what a true leader does please lets not take this lets get our troops home and send president worthnothing back to texas for good ol texas asswooping.
