7 years of failure and one to go! It would be easier to have a poll listing of what he did do right instead. However in all fairness one has to remember he had Cheney and the rest of his administration to help him dig a hole for the country that we’ll never get out of for decades to come. Whatever happened to our government’s checks and balances was destroyed and we ended up with a government that ran amuck.

I voted for other. What makes him bad IMO is Hurricane Katrina. The lack of empathy, lack of leadership, and lack of promptness convinced me that he has no business in the white house. This poll should add "all of the above" IMO.
Bush took an oath to uphold the laws of the USA and then did nothing but encourage illegal entry. Bush is a globalist -- he was all about big corporate greed. And he allowed a horrendous national debt from which we can never recover.
I personally don't think Bush was any worse than Clinton. I do think he has a extreme gangster mentality. I have never seen such a I don't give a eff mentality in my life. This guy is on some "me and my friends are going in here and getting this money, if you are with us then we can all eat, if you are against us then you can get the horns". Gotta respect him on a business level if anything else.
I voted other because Bush bloated the government even more... There is nothing worse than a corrupt, bloated government that takes away your freedoms...
My thoughts exactly. It used to be Democrats who specialized in this area. Now Bush has put the GOP in the same league.
Of course about 75% of Americans would agree that Bush has not been the best President in our history but that 75% is probably pretty divided as to why he was so bad. Please pick one issue above the rest that you think Bush was wrong on, and vote in this poll and respond about why you think that issue Bush was a bad President.

i would agree, if Beverly hills was facing this instead, the whole town would have been evacuated and rebuilt by now. the votes that N.O. generated says it all for me...
Bush does not change his center-- he doesn't know what it's like for a middle-class American citizen and does not bother to apply ideas based on the needs of most of us Americans. All of his decisions seem to be based on benefiting himself or the 1% of the people who have all the money in this country.
Bush, like all politicians, isn't going to do his job for the people, he's in it for himself. And until some golden boy/girl steps up and runs for president with more than him/herself in mind we're not going to get a genuine politician, much less a president, in office. And we can't expect that from Clinton and Obama (as much as I like Clinton).
