George Bush has been one of the most controversial political figures of all time. He is the eldest son of the former president of the United States George Herbert Walker Bush, and is currently serving his second term in office. Bush won the election in 2000 in a controversial turn of events which seen him lose the popular vote but win the electoral vote.
Here's a list of reasons why people hate George Bush:
1. Before the September 11 attacks, George Bush is alleged to have given $43 million to the Taliban so that US oil companies could get access to their supplies.
2. He supports the Patriot Act which, some claim, provokes fear and promotes patriotism as a means of making Americans give up their constitutional rights.
3. Bush pulled America out of a global warming treaty, and has shown a lack of regard for any issues that relate to global warming.
4. Bush has cut tax by $2 trillion. Sounds great? 43% of this goes to the wealthiest 1%. Some say that the pursuit of the American dream makes people back these policies. Others say that it is underhand and done by Bush as a favour to friends and a way to gain support from the nation's most powerful people.
5. Bush has appointed right wing federal judges which are there to save his political aims say some.
6. Bush halted international talks on biological and chemical weapons. Since doing this they have became more significant, especially with fears as to what role they will play in terrorist attacks.
7. Bush refused to testify under oath to the 9/11 commission. To some, especially considering his religious stance, this appeared as though he had something to hide.
8. After the United Nations was not willing to support the War in Iraq, Bush went ahead with it anyway. This was Bush going against his word, and also a sign that he was only willing to work as a team when everyone does what he says, according to some critics.
9. Bush promised $15 billion for Africa however left it out of his budget. Some people have raised claims as to whether or not Bush wants Africa to “get better". At the moment America is in competition with China, which has a massive trade surplus. Is it not likely that Africa, too, would have a healthy trade surplus if it gains economic momentum?
10. Bush cut billions from the Veterans Administration Budget. Some say that this is a sign that Bush is willing to work his soldiers much harder than they have ever worked before but that they should not be paid fairly for it.
11. Bush cut funding for finding renewable energy sources by 50%. Some critics point out that he has many friends and interests in oil companies.
12. Bush has long been said to not support women as much as he should. Some say this case was strengthened when he opted to close the White House Office for Women's Health Initiative and Outreach .
13. Bush has refused to release federal funding for stem cell research.

Yes, Nick it is called the New World Order. He and the entire Congress no matter who, all belong to the same clubs, the same social group and organizations and the same economic class and maintain the same ideology. It isn't just George Bush because no president can do it all by himself. It is time we booted the entire club out. They'll all find good jobs with the big Internationals and won't suffer much except for ego. The results of their actions have a negative impact on millions. I happen to think they are just part of the entire plan. Good article, Best Wishes. Respond to this comment

Great one.. I have relatives in IRaq who have lost everything including lives of some family members. It is terrible that Americans call the Iraqi freedom fighters and civilians as terrorists. What right do they have to interfere in the day to day life of Iraqis.. Adding to this the trigger happy Balckwater security group is employed to kill any one who cannot be killed by Americals directly for political reasons.. I hope people listen to Bob Miller Respond to this comment

I voted for Bush in 2000 for two reasons: (1) he said he was going to lower taxes and (2) he was going to have a non-interventionist foreign policy. He made good on the first one, but he reneged on the second one when he went to war with Iraq, a country that had not attacked us (although he was justified in going into Afghanistan). Therefore, he did not get my vote in 2004. I couldn't vote for that liberal clown John Kerry either, so I voted for the Libertarian candidate. Respond to this comment

Nick,
I appreciate what you have to say only as with most truthful statements there are many shadows of mis truths. For example who has the patriot act ever hurt other than the Terrorists. Secondly, the we opted out of the global warming treaty because China and India the 2 largest polluters wouldn't sign the agreement which meant the US who already abide by most all of the conditions would have to compete in industry at a disadvantage and the best way to bring them to the agreement table is through our ability to compete. Thirdly, the women's health Initiative was only an abortion on demand policy with no regard for even the slightest restriction on time and term of the pregnancy including partial birth abortion. Fourthly, the United Nations were not abiding by the sanctions against Iraq regarding oil for food and were all on the take including all the top officials of the UN, Russia and others selling arms to Iraq. Iraq also was not allowing inspections as agreed to from the ending of the first Iraq war breaking 15+ sanction agreements. After seeing my fellow american blown out of the WTC and jumping to their death, that should have been a wake up call to not only to all Americans but to the world that we mean business.
Finally as your fellow American our country has broken the back of the Islamic Extremists by taking the fight to them and away from our shores. I could go on and on. Again, I appreciate your comments but looking deeper I see understanding into all these decisions. God Bless You and America
