So I was wondering, what do you all think Bush's biggest blunder in office has been? There have been so many, that it's sometimes easy to forget some of them.

Hello Michele Bachmann...hope you're not serious about this, that's a very scary thing to be serious about. McCarthyism is right on that quick path to Fascism.

Iraq. Iraq is a noose around his neck. Wars are always one of the dominant legacies of a president, good or bad.

If your talking about the dictatorial type of fascism, that's okay. It's a lot easier to kill a single dictator than it is to kill an entire socialist regime like we have now.

Nah, I'm focused on things I love, you know...like Freedom, Peace, intellectual discourse, sports (but nobody cares about the Golden State Warriors on this website), technology, science, films (I'm active in the film discussions talking about movies I love), TV, women (to an extent...more the superficial than anything), and cars. I just thought it would be interesting to see what others thought was his biggest mistake. With approval of ~15%, basically everyone agrees that he's made some mistakes, it's just a question which mistake sticks out in people's minds most.

I really fault Bush with very little...I didn't agree with all his policies, but all in all he did a good job considering what took place during his watch. I really fault the liberal media more than anything...they hated him and did all they could to make him look bad. Look at this forum...the hate toward him is overwhelming! And why are you still focusing on Bush? Can you not get past what you don't like about him and focus on the future instead?

How about the huge budget deficit our country is in? That is his worst and most important blunder, why is it not on the poll?

* None of the above

Invasion of a sovereign country. Killing and murdering of innocent civilians, and finally before the whole world-all your lies, or the ones with the real power, laid out for even the dumbest of societies to plainly see.

Any and all terrorism from this point on will be a direct result of this action and our foreign policies to date. Paybacks are a BIIIIIIIAAAAAATTTTTTCCCCCHHHHHH.

The real question is- Will the world ever forgive the U.S. for what it has done to Iraq?
