About the same intelligence level; which scares me.:D

I really don't think Bush is dumb. But I don't think he has the intellectual capacity to be president either. He doesn't read the paper, he reads only the books that serve to reinforce his agenda, and he seems genuinely unaware of the issues, for a president.

Isn't that what folks thought of Reagan as well? Too dumb to be President, but now widely regarded as one of our ten greatest.

Although I don't consider Reagan to be a great president, he did have diplomacy skills, something that Bush sorely lacks.

Or ten most overrated. The book on Reagan, coming from many of his former advisors, is that he wasn't stupid, but never seem interested in the details of policy.

To paraphrase the quote, it went something like "I've never seen a man in such a high office care so little or show such little interest in his post."

That's just it. A man as high as the President SHOULD NOT be interested in the details all the time...only when needed and warranted.

There is just too much going on with all the governmental agencies for the POTUS to know it all. He simply must rely on his advisors and Cabinet officers.

The President is like an NFL Head Coach now. No Head Coach in the NFL can do it all with the game the way it is today. He is nothing without a good staff. The same for the POTUS> Sad, but true. When you elect a President now days, you are electing an entire Administration. Think about it.

And that's exactly why Junior is the absolute worst pResident ever. Because his entire Fraudministration is composed of war criminals, liars, and traitors. And an idiot as the supposed leader.

One has to go back to Halderman, Erlichman, Dean, Colson, etc to find a group of degenerate LIARS, CHEATS, and WHORES as bad as this group of scum sucking vermin.

Beware the second term:D

The problem is that this president seems to be making up the details as he goes along. Let's invade Iraq because they have WMD's! Oops ,no WMD's? Well what we're doing here is spreading freedom. I want my tax cuts made permanent...until they clash with the half-assed Social Security "plan" that I just thought up. The list goes on and on. I swear to God, sometimes it seems like Bush is just winging it.

Bush Feels Betrayed By Secret Tapes - Boo Fucking Hoo

And the nation felt betrayed by false WMD's, farmers feel betrayed by huge budget cuts, and older citizens feel betrayed by the Social Security "plan", and on and on......

White House raps author for secret tapes
By Knight Ridder | February 21, 2005

NEW YORK -- The White House lashed out yesterday at the Bush family friend who secretly tape-recorded the future president discussing issues such as drug use and gay rights.

Even though aides insisted there was little damaging information on the tapes, they made no effort to hide the fact that President Bush felt betrayed by conservative author Doug Wead.

"These were casual conversations with someone whom the president considered, or believed to be, a friend," said White House spokesman Ken Lisaius.

Wead said he made the tapes, from 1998 to 2000, for a book because he believed Bush would become a "pivotal figure in history."

"I had a choice to either write propaganda about the Bushes or write accurately and fairly based on what I knew," Wead told ABC's "Good Morning America."

Wead said his publisher insisted on listening to the tapes to confirm anonymous sources he cited in his new book, "The Raising of a President." The New York Times then got wind of the tapes, Wead said, and it "all became unraveled."

The tapes were made as Bush considered a run for the White House.

Well, at least Bush has some blacks and hispanics in his cabinet. If Dean would have won the nomination and election, only whites would have held positions, since all blacks work at hotels and are unqualified.

I already mentioned the war criminal and the incompetent liar.

Clinton had blacks, Hispanics, and a Lesbian attorney general, and none of them were even criminals. But this isn't about diversity, it's about the insanity of this Fraudministration.

Entirely uncalled for and entirely untrue. Here's a link to the first "Dean Dozen" . Candidates that were supported by DFA during last years campaign. You'll find it's a very diverse group, and will recognize at least some of the names.

Back to the tapes: they really didn't reveal anything that isn't pretty much already out there. In fact, you could argue that the tapes prove W.'s integrity (FORD! Wipe that grin off your face!!!).

Everything that he's said there is pretty much consistent with the policies he's implemented and the behavior he's displayed so far.

Sorry, folks, we don't have our Watergate with this one.

(but with jeff gannon...............?)

[Warham]

Did he comb the hotels of America to find these Dozen?

[academic punk]

Warham, those are cheap shots - and false - and you know it. Come on.
