One third of survey respondents still support Bush, and approve of the job he is doing as president of the United States. Several people post on this forum in support of him and the job he does, and they maintain that he does as good or better job than past presidents, past candidates and current candidates for the office of president.
He still has the authority to veto bills, to command the military, to launch military actions, to issue executive orders, and to secretly rescind or to issue provisions of them. We see that he can issue pardons of the convicted, or commute their criminal sentences. He still represents the US as the current chief executive in this country and in any country he travels to.
He still makes public statements that are unreasonable, inaccurate and potentially project some influence. The candidates running to succeed him in office, embrace almost all of his agenda, policy, and message.
He is also in the eyes of a number of us, unique in that he has apparently committed the very crime, aggressive war, our post WWII government tried and executed foreign aggressor for having committed. Neither he nor his closest aids have ever offered a complete and coherent accounting of what he and they were doing in the capacity of their official duties, in the time period a few months before the 9/11 attacks, until shortly after them.
9/11 was our era's Pearl Harbor, would you not think that Bush and his associates at least would give us an accurate accounting of their actions and statements around that time?
