You mean apart from the fact that he is a war mongering cretin that needs to be put out to pasture before he involves the entire globe in terrorist reprisals?\n\nHe isn't the sharpest tool in the box - never was - but his many advisers usually help prevent him making a TOTAL ar** of himself - mostly. \n\nAdmittedly they panic when he does his little walk-about talk abouts - as he relies on his own wit rather than pre-prepared speeches. It tends to get a little wobbly then.\n\nI'm sorry but asking WHY to ANYTHING to do with bush is a bit pointless. The guy isn't half sharp.

I don't think he's stupid. He's just not a great speaker. He's not a slick talker or snake oil salesman like Clinton or Kerry. I would say he's highly misinformed on the immigration issue.

At least twice each week I read the rant of another angry American who declares that Bush is an idiot, but if they're just figuring that out now, they're throwing stones from a glass house. Of course he's an idiot. They needed an idiot. If the man displayed any signs of intelligence, evil actions couldn't be  passed off as "failures" or "bungling." If the president were intelligent and scholarly, people would question why he's completely incompetent, \nbut because he's an obvious buffoon, many people accept that as the reason everything's \ngoing horribly wrong. It's also a lot less distressing to believe that your government is incompetent rather than know that they're evil, and most people will cling to that comfort.\n\n               The real problem is that if people blame Bush's idiocy for our troubles, they probably also think that the solution would be to get him out of office, but if they think we'll be saved by "Hillary in '08," or any other politician, they're even slower than Bush. \n\nRegardless of who's occupying the White House, there has never been an idiot running this country. There's  too much power and money at stake for an idiot to gain control of it. If the president is an idiot,  he's only in the White House because someone else has firm control over him. Someone somewhere has a lot more control over the fate of this nation than our "president" does. \n\n               Of course this reasoning begs the question "if this country isn't being run by an idiot, \nwhy is everything going so horribly wrong?" The answer is that it's going wrong by design. \nThe questioner makes the  assumption that this country is being run by people who are acting in the interest of Americans, but nothing can be further from the truth. Instead of accusing Bush of doing a lousy job, or being a lousy president, please try to think in terms of Bush's "boss" being someone other than the American people, and his "job" as being to grab as \nmuch cash as he can for himself and his friends before driving this country into the ground. If you look at his presidency in that light, you can instantly see that he's doing a marvelous job, and he's the best "president" an enemy nation could ever hope to see in the White House.The fact of the matter is that America as we know it (or knew it) is being systematically destroyed, and the politicians from both political parties are making this possible.\n\n             Freedom and justice are fading memories, the U.S. Constitution is "just a goddamn piece of paper," and the election process has been undermined. The jobs have been shipped overseas, the economy is hopeless, the environment is being raped, the Army is "broken," the infrastructure is crumbling, our borders are being dissolved, and every dollar or gold nugget that was subject to being looted, is already gone. With the entire nation and its population deep in debt, crashing the economy is a simple matter of raising interest rates, which will allow the bankers to once again scoop up all mortgaged property, and force its inhabitants out into the street. Instead of calling it illegal immigration, we should be calling it a foreign invasion, because the consequences of this invasion are as terminal to our freedoms and to our way of life as any act of terrorism ever perpetrated against us! The United States is being invaded - FOREIGN INVADERS.  \n\n             The American people need to understand that the United States is under attack! \nNo, not by Iraq or Iran, but by Mexico! Yes, Martha, you had better believe it. \nThe Mexican government is deliberately and systematically working to destabilize and undermine the very fabric and framework of American society. \n             And President George W. Bush and Senators John McCain and Ted Kennedy (among others) ar

I must be in the minority among liberals. I don't think Bush is stupid. I think he's very average intelligence-wise. He's also very shrewd. He knew after 9/11 that nobody would try to stop him forcing his agenda on the American people, as did the Republican controlled House and Senate. There are no "checks-and-balances" anymore. Anything they want, they get. He's just doing what most corrupt people would do.

While presidents seem all powerful in reality they are compelled to follow an agenda that is set primarily by the political party which they represent and by the will of the majority (although this does not always seem the case).  Mr. Bush is simply the figurehead or mouthpiece for those agendas so it is a bit unfair to call him stupid....perhaps you consider the policies he is pursuing to be stupid.  As to the support....don't forget that he was elected by a majority all of whom had an opportunity to make other decisions.  Those decisions will be made again in 2008 and maybe you will see a different type of candidate elected to pursue other agendas for this country.  That is the essence of democracy.

A nother Bush is too stupid. Guerrilla McCain may not be a match by 2008. Cut and paste?
