Who really still thinks bush is running things?
I heard part of his speech from Europe and the ahhhs and hmmmms were mind blowing.
If I can tell he is dolt don't you think the real powers that be know that too?

To me he is the vapid front man who gives the talking points that were drilled into his
head and anytime he strays from those points or even if they don't fit the question
he seems to sense that he is lost and knows that others know it too.

Hell, "they" did not let him speak about the most important thing in his Presidency,
9-11, without a minder there (cheney), off the record, and without the press being there.

I heard a guy from Wales on Stephanie Miller last week and he says that in Europe they play
uncut clips of bush on the news and he is just a stuttering clusterfuck of a person.

Just thoughts.

1. I am probably in the minority here but
because of his ego I think he is running things. It is why this country is in such big trouble. He has been in over his head since he took office. He has never been successful at anything in his life, he wasn't elected in the first place and on and on and on and on. There is nothing more dangerous than a man with a big ego and a tiny brain.

4. It is probable they allow him to get his way
when he makes a fuss, but I believe mostly he just doesn't pay attention and lets Cheney run the show.

8. He's been in over his head his entire life
We are an absolute joke to have this drunk, coke snorting, whoremongering, incompetent rube MORON as a President.

2. Like Al Gore replied to Charlie Rose's question the other night:
No, W didn't plan on invading Iraq as early as the 2000 campaign. Cheney hadn't told him yet.

(A paraphrase.)

6. Got Similar Feedback Last Week
From a client who's controller of a Dutch company. About 40 years old, athletic, college educated. He says most Euros like him are amused by Bush but worried about America. They pretty much think Bush is the front man for massive corporate interests. But they're worried about how American military power serves American corporate interests.

It sounds like Fascism to them. As it does to me.
