    Will Bush get reelected?

    I think Bush will get reelected in 2004, there is a number of reasons for that

    1 - the Democrats have a lot of bad candidates with horrible approval ratings

    2 - now that the economy is improving Bush will be seen as someone who made the right decisions

    3 - He's currently in office, (US presidents tend to get reelcted)

    4 - although it seems like a lot of people hate Bush inthe US it only seems like that because the people that do go out on the streets and have rallies and other protests, while the people that approve of him tend not to care

    Give some feedback

    I would like to say it's not my business, but american president is in fact business of all world. I can hope & pray that he won't be reelected and that is everything I can do right now.

    But honestly I think he will be reelected, no doubts whatsoever

    i think so, too .
    but the election is still some time away, so a lot of things can (hopefully) change in the meantime. although i'm happy that this will be the last time he can get elected.
    edit: i also think that many people, who didn't vote in 2000 at all will now see that a few votes can decide about who will be president, so maybe more people will go and vote next year.
    i think bush is a candidate that has very loyal voters, voters that will go to an election no matter what, so maybe next time some of those that didn't vote in 2000 but were in favor of gore will go to the election to stop bush from becoming president again.

    i would say no, .. like father like son ...hehehehe

    it really depends on the candidate of the other side, and i think GORE will not run... will he?

    if the Democrats have a good candidate then maybe theres a chance there will be another democratic president..

    i really think the americans have a very good "balance of power" , no single party has absolute power, the senate and the congress usually has a opposite majority than the president..

    8 years of Reagan (republican in the 80s)
    8 years of Clinton (democrats in the 90s)....

    as i say its a balance of power..

    With the last election fiasco, I pretty much suspected that whichever one won (Bush or Gore), it would only be for one term. At least until the Democratic candidtate is named, I will stick to that prediction.

    Personally, I am thankful every day that Gore wasn't elected, but that is another story (not that I like Bush all that much, I just wouldn't be able to stand four more years of Clinton's administration, and to me, that is all Gore was, Clinton II).

    The problem with the Bush vs. Gore election wasn't so much who will you vote for, but who will you vote against, and I am proud to say I voted against Gore. I'm not as proud to say I voted for Bush, but I am not ashamed of it, either.

    I'm sure the Democrats will come up with somebody who can compete against Bush, although looking at the choices at this moment, I think I will still take Bush. Rudi Guillani may be the Democrat's best bet for presidency, assuming he is willing to run. God help us all if Gore tries for the office again.

    An interesting topic. My say is simple!

    I'm currently living in the U.S. and in just a few days from first arriving, i've learnt one major thing.
    The U.S. resident don't mind Bush. He is a President that is doing the right thing. The problem is that he is doing the right thing for wrong reason.

    I attend to agree. Singling out the war on Iraq, the reason was of WMD. I mean, hasn't he now admitted that they haven't found any or they won't? The information and reason to go attack iraq was false. The U.S. ppl don't like that. They don't like that at all. The actions were acceptable and I agree but lying to the public and his own people is just described as "untrustworthy".

    Now, in politics, I don't know if having trust and the truth is all important or is it just the result of work thats important. I want to believe the first but trust is such a rare thing next to honesty with power.

    Bush has done excellent things for the U.S. as stated above but missed out on the major thing that is the U.S. and any other country... its people.

    What I'm saying is that "true" & trust" a strong thing to follow in politics or is the results of its actions that determine a good leader. I guess its a combination of both but its simple weight of the facts and faults. Faults being more seen and weighted.

    Well, I may be wrong about this, but so far, hasn't the only thing Bush admitted was wrong/lieing/etc. was Saddam trying to assemble the parts for a nuclear weapon? Granted, we haven't found the chemical or biological weapons yet, but I don't think they have given up on them or admitted defeat on that issue yet. Everyone seems to be saying, "Well, Bush lied about the nuclear stuff, so obviously Saddam didn't have any weapons of mass destruction at all." If that were true, then Saddam would have let the UN inspectors search the country years ago, which would have proven they don't exist and allowed the UN sanctions against Iraq to be lifted, thus a large portion of the Iraqi people's suffering.

    I think you guys forgot that something in 2001 happened and that's why the US economy was screwed up

    Guliani is a Republican but he'd make a great candidate

    You forgot some.

    --Allowed the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil of any previous US president in history.

    --Allowed the destruction of a second Space Shuttle, resulting in the deaths of 7 astronauts.

    --Allowed one of the greatest entertainers in history, Bob Hope, to die while in office.

    --Was unable to prevent countless storms to cause flooding throughout the American mid-west, resulting in millions of dollars of property damage.

    --Allowed Madonna to make in "Swept Away."

    I mean, if we are going to blame Bush, we need to really pile it on. He is obviously single-handedly responsible for every bad thing that has happened on the planet since he took office in Jan. 2001. The fact that the economy was slipping at the end of Clinton's term is irrelevant. The fact that our country was attacked is irrelevant. The fact that he is only one person is irrelevant. The fact that he has to answer to Congress, the Supreme Court, and to the US voters is irrelevant. The fact that he is advised by advisors who have advisors who have advisors is irrelevant. Heck, we could probably pin the very existence of Al-Queda on Bush. Everything that is wrong in the world today is Bush's fault. Period. End of discussion.

    Bush/ Blair lied to the whole world when they said that Saddam has WMD (not past but now) he said that in the state of the union address and Powell declared that in the UN security council last February.

    with this idea, Bush or any american president can lie or create any information about a country, having a bad or useless leader and simply take over it. As a European or a non american that idea is very scary.

    or is the world simply a pissing game? and that America can simply piss on any country they want to
