George Bush Was a Good President

youngpolitic

I would like to open up my argument by saying that I believe that President George W. Bush did a great job as president and does not deserve all of the criticism he received when he left office. I will support this statement by using these arguments: a) Bush reacted to the best of his ability in the 9/11 situation. He worked fast and efficiently under enormous amounts of pressure. b) He always did what he thought was right. Bush did not cave into the demands of Congress and the people, he...

Barack Obama is overall, a worst President than George W. Bush

I have just joined Debate and hope that I follow the rules as well as etiquette. I have looked at some of your positions and man we can debate a lot. I looked at your statements in the same as this debate title and you are the kind of person I learn from debating. Your statements are based for the most part on facts, you do not throw barbs and seem to be willing to stay on task. There are a couple of things that appear not on point for me. 1. There are not many people voting and I question if mu...

George Bush is an idiot

Understand that I am Con in this debate. In one of the Forum threads, http://www.debate.org/forums/politics/topic/4459/8/ ddo member emmalmalcolm made the claim "Bush is actually an idiot. Obama is a brilliant lawyer, professor, speaker and author. You can disagree with his policy but that's just fact." The claim is common. I challenged emmalmalcolm to defend the claim, but emmalmalcolm, despite having been on the site, let the challenge expire. So now I am opening the challenge to anyone who...

George Bush is a good president

George Bush has destroyed our nation. 1. He implimented No Child Left Behind, overcrowding our good schools and still leaving our bad schools to be bad. 2. He created the Iraq War for the purpose of finding weapons of mass destruction, stopping terrorism, and promoting democracy. They vote, they have no WMDs, and terrorism will NEVER be stopped, and Iraq has nothing to do with it. 3. He lowered out economy significantly, lower than most African nations. 4. He raised gas prices, making tr...

Was George W. Bush a good President?

George W. Bush is a great man indeed. He has cut funding from schools and libraries, opposed abortion even in cases of rape or incest, taken away half of the Environmental Protection Agency's budget, the list goes on. But the one blunder we all took notice of was invading Iraq. He invaded on the pretext that there were WMD's there, but the U.N. weapons inspectors found no trace of them whatsoever before that. Oh, cut it out George, we all know what it was for - OIL. That's right, petroleum to ke...

Was George W. Bush good for America, and for the wider world?

RoyLatham

Structure is as follows: 1.Present arguments 2.Rebuttals 3.Voters I believe George W. Bush is NOT good for America, and the wider world for three reasons. 1. He did not win office in a democratic way 2.His policies leave much to be desired 3. Intelligence is not one of his virtues 1. He did not win office in a democratic way. It would seem that in a democratic society where citizens are allowed to vote, that they would get the final say in electing their leader, right? Not in th...

RESOLVED: George Bush should be regarded as America's best President

funnybrad333
Lightkeeper

George Bush is defined as our current president. President is defined as the official in charge of our president. Regarded is defined as considered. Best, in my opinion, is defined as the most productive and capable [president], yet this word is extremely subjective in this debate. My two contentions so begin are as follows: 1) President Bush has never faultered in his existence 2) President Bush is a rolemodel to the world, leading the greatest nation to an unimaginable prospe...

George W. Bush violated Human rights, and claimed it stopped Foreign Terror attacks, which it didn't

**Disclaimer: although I do believe that Co-President Cheney had some knowledge of 9/11 beforehand and did not tell Co-President Bush, this debate will follow the assumption that it was not known about beforehand and was not an inside job, should that come up.** **Disclaimer part 2: When I say President Bush, I usually mean both Bush and Cheney, or simply Cheney's ventriloquism.** On September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked. Two crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in Ne...
