Interview with George W Bush on Oprah on the 9/11 attacks - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT_M0O9bx2w[/media] I really like Bush here. I don't know why. Weird. I feel for the guy. :ohdear:

bush has been being pretty bro as of late

Bush was not a bad president. He was a normal president who went through major events. The decisions he made were beyond crucial, and people whined and complained saying, "I could be a better president!" Most people would be scared and resign if something like 9/11 happened.

I don't blame him, must've been through alot of pressure.

[QUOTE=zatox9632;25987701]He actually never said he could do a better job.[/QUOTE] He didn't have to. There was no clear mistake in how Bush reacted to this. Him saying that there was means he thinks he knows the right answer. Didn't think I'd have to explain it but there we are.

[QUOTE=SA Spyder;25987485]Because some 16 year old with acne can run a country better despite not even living in it.[/QUOTE] I like how you immediately begin to assume things when you know absolutely nothing about me. You remind me of those idiots on the news that when asked about Muslims they say "they are terrorists kill them all". With that mindset you would be a terrible president and a terrible person to have vote for a president. Also look up the meaning of the words "critic" and "opinion".

He's not an idiot. He's just naive...

[QUOTE=Signature;25990635]He's not an idiot. He's just naive...[/QUOTE] Pretty much this. You really can't manage to get into presidency if you're an idiot. Everyone in the US was looking for someone to be pissed at and he was the guy in the hot seat.

2 of the biggest disasters in the history of the US happened during his presidency. TWO. 9/11 AND hurricane katrina, give him a break.

He was an absolutely awful president and no amount of sweet-talking and honing up to shortcomings changes that. "Rally 'round the flag" was the only thing that saved his presidency.

I know it sounds out there, but I'm definatly going to look for this book. I just wish to read the mindset of a president during a crysis/attack on American soil, and then understand what it must of been like while holding up with two warring fronts.

It's really like it's made out to be, the president has a metric dickload of advisers who handle almost all decisions. His job was likely limited to paperwork.
