Where have you been the last eight years?

I have various disagreements with him in general and I am dumbfounded by the power that is now held by that office, but what really bothers me is just how lightly he takes everything.

I realize America has built up this really weird perception of wanting a father and an every day person, but this is the President of the country and the President of a relatively powerful country. I do not think the people that go into this role are restricted from having personal, human moment, but I think it is a disgrace to the position, to this country, to take it so light heartedly.

There really are complex issues requiring discussion. Things are not always simple or just common sense. This, too, is the problem with our political system - you either pick Republican or Democrat and you agree with them 99%. This country, this world, this universe is too vast to have everything come down to one of two choices, much less any simple ones.

Of Bush in particular, I refer to him as the "Cowboy in the President's office." This really has nothing to do with his party or his home state, but that he really is a f*ck*ng idiot that lives in his own magical world. He talks down to people, he states everything in very simple terms, he jokes around a lot, he lacks any type of eloquence, he is very closed in and secretive (politically,) and he's amassed scary levels of power for both government and his office.

And I'm sorry, but why, legally, are we in Iraq again? How strong is the dollar? Where is our deficit? What major movements have we made to protect, much less further, humanity as a whole?

I realize I am relatively young, contrary to what I think ;), but as far as I am concerned, he is the worst President of my lifetime.
He says what he wants. He does what he wants. He isn't truthful.
Just a tad irritated %),

I love you, mom.

I actually find it insulting to my intelligence how he speaks to the audience in general.

That is what I am talking about - he just happened to be on tv live for an energy speech today at a plant in Ohio.

It isn't all his fault - he doesn't write his own stuff. His administration sucks balls. He probably believes what he says and thinks he is doing the right thing, because his advisors are so out of touch with reality. I can't remember where I read it, but a past president and someone close to his crew was talking about how shielded you are fromt he real world, and that you have to take the word of your advisors for fact - as you don't have time to do things yourself. Similar to how f'd up a large company will operate.

Scary really.

Watching Bush live talk about energy.....never really noticed it before - but he really talks down to people.

It's not just the talking about energy, for me. I actually find it insulting to my intelligence how he speaks to the audience in general. Granted, a better speaker, with the appropriate body language, might well be able to lie much more easily, but then we're delving into an entirely different conversation, perhaps about "change".

Just my $0.02.

Watching Bush live talk about energy.....never really noticed it before - but he really talks down to people. Over simplifies things to make them sound like "common sense". Scary stuff people applaud what he says in this case.

I swear there's a movie to be made out of this. 2 guys driving to a funeral, one surfing the web to update his site. Someone call Wes Anderson.

Ditto that. And have a safe trip. No "one-handed" driving while "surfing", OK?

Anyone watch the John Adams series on HBO?

My thoughts are with you and your family Blue - have a friend with MS who has been very fortunate.

Seconded.
