It's the people without working brains who are incapable of complex thoought who think otherwise, Dean.

Bush just doesn't seem to come off well in front of the camera. I don't know if it is the stress of the office or age or a combination of both. Back when he was running for Governor of Texas he was sharp and eloguent, now he isn't. Still a smart man, just something happens in front of the cameras.

My personal opinion is that Bush never quite managed to cope with the hatred of the media and the left.

It is hard to be hated. Very hard. And I think GW Bush is one of those people who desperately wants to be liked. That's why he keeps doing the most idiotic things imaginable to try to appease his enemies, and the end result is that he looks like a fool.

So all of that Convair F-102A Delta Dagger supersonic fighter-interceptor stuff wasn't just crap?

I am flabbergasted.

Sean: My opinion is that GWB doesn't give a cow's fart what others think about him.

I would like to ask him one thing - is 'If' his favorite poem?

I disagree. I think GW Bush is deeply desirous of the good opinion of others. I think that is one reason he values loyalty so highly (too highly). In some ways the stereotype of him as a good ol' fraternity boy have some truth to them. He likes to pal around with folks. He doesn't like the nova-like glare of hatred that has been beamed at him now for eight years.

Of course that's just my opinion. There will likely be a slew of tell-all books from his administration over the next few years, and we can just read them to find out.

As a follow-up, I DO think that GW Bush is the kind of man who does what he thinks is right even when it ends up with people hating him. But he doesn't LIKE it, and it weighs heavily on him.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.

Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
