What do you suppose is going on in George Bush 41's mind regarding his son's performance?

Bush 41 doesn't recognize his son and the republican party any more....

Lol, that is too funny! When did this happen?I didn't even know Dr.Phil was called by Bush, but Bush does definitely need some mental help! With all these problems and money he's causing us I'm sure he needs therapy to get through it. Poor guy{sarcastically} I can't stand Bush, I can't even listen to his voice, I gotta change the channel! I can't wait until he's out of presidency!

George W. Bush is no longer in control. His father is now running the government through his proxies. Little George has screwed up and Daddy is going to try to restore dignity to the mess his little boy made.

First, Bush 'played' a college kid;\nthen he 'played' in the reserves, just enough so that his daddy could give him the chance to fly a jetfighter without actually participating in the rigid regimen most reservists have to endure;\nthen he 'played' businessman and oil tycoon, losing investors' money by the millions;\nthen he 'played' governor of Texas;\nnow he's 'playing' President and Commander-In-Chief without even realizing that his own family - and their wealthy friends - have set him up as a 'patsy' that only does as he's told to do, when he's told to do, and how he's coached to act.    -RKO-

I think that Iraq was on Mr. Bush's mind the day he took office.  On day one he put a target on Saddam's head and was ready to use any excuse to finish his daddy's job.\n\nHis father, however, knew the consequeces of a march on Bahgdad.  That is why we stopped short of Saddam in 91, we had a clean victory and Sr. quit while he was ahead.\n\nJr., however, wanted blood.  He was convinced that Saddam would one day become the next great tyrant.  Like Johnson in 64, Bush was ready to pounce at the first sign of any agression.  The perfect reason to declare open-ended war fell into his lap on an early september monday morning.\n\nIt has been reported that just hours after the planes hit Bush was heard asking his advisors if Iraq was involved.  He was asking very leading questions of his advisors, including donald rumsfeld, who both wanted to pin 9/11 on Saddam before the towers even hit the ground.\n\nBut some would say they were smart, they went for the easy win first.  They needed to prove to the public that America could lead a successful nation-building war.  Of course I wouldn't call Afghanistan rebuilt when 95% of their economy is from the sale of opiates (I am against prohibition, but Bush isn't).  Even today, after the supposed elections and overthrow of the taliban, the only way an afghan woman can make any kind of living is to work in the opium fields.\n\nWe all saw the buildup for war.  He and his messengers (condie, rumsfeld, right wing puppet congressmen) had us all believing that we were about to be nuked.  The sad thing is that the public at large bought right into it.  I must say he even got me wondering just what Mr. Saddam had up his sleeve.  I suppose that's why I was rather exited to watch the war on tv, I just wanted to see what this guy had.  I watched the sabre rattling in the weeks leading up to 'shock and awe'.  It was entertaining to watch these two morons square off.  I thought Saddam would have had more of a back bone though.  I expected to see a tienemen square scecne in Bahgdad, but right away I could tell once we entered the capitol that something was wrong.\n\nIf Bush had been right, I have no doubt that Saddam would have used those weapons on American soldiers.  But they never existed.  Just like the second attack at the gulf of Tonkin.  It never happened.  LBJ however did not lie himself, rather his advisors lied to him.  True, Johnson was willing and ready to pounce should a tit-for-tat oppertunity present itself.  He believed the second attack on a stranded US cruiser was just such an oppertunity.  His advisors knew of his willingness to decalre war and fed him intel that would lead him in that direction.  LBJ wanted to look strong on defence and strong against communism going into a tough 1964 election.  He knew that he would be judged to the standard of 'what would JFK have done?' in the public eye.  Once he had blindly acceped the attack as truth and declared war, it wasn't long before the conflict spiraled out of his control.  "For all I know, they're shooting at whales" Johnson said the next year about the war that was now out of his control.\n\nThe rhetoric leading upto Iraq was different.  The intel was 'misread' by everyone in the aministration, so either everyone is lieing or everyone is that dumb.  I think they were seeing what they wanted to see.  As soon as any intel came accross that would give a glimmer of hope to uniting the country behind a war surfaced, they took it as fact because they wanted to.  It suited their political end.\n\nI believe that this intel was also pressured out of the cia and nsa from the white house.  Bush pushed so hard for 'actionable intel' that people eventually told him what he wanted to hear.  This still continues as they try to quell the uprising.  The president is so desperate for information on both insurgents and al-queida (sp?) that he is willing to turn his back on the rest of

I thought it wasn't possible but George Bush Jr. is a bigger idiot and a@@h*ole than his father. The immigration issue is just another distraction for the public and the dumb ignorant fools who still support him.

When I was watching Bush last night, I had one of those rare moments of detached curiosity. I wasn’t upset, I was more curious in a sociological sense. I found myself asking why exactly I couldn’t believe in what he was saying – what is it about me or my demographic that makes me so utterly incapable of believing in his speech. I’m not talking about his honesty (or lack thereof). I’m talking about the grand abstractions of freedom, duty, country, patriotism that he invoked. Why are these ideas so uncompelling to me? They’re all good things. I probably should find them compelling. But I don’t. It’s not that I’m hostile to these abstract ideas – I just don’t find them intellectually compelling. \n\nI suspect that a good deal of my demographic (young knowledge workers/students) feel the same way. Our generation, you see, is cursed by the tyranny of irony. Or perhaps blessed. I’m not sure. But that’s what I want to talk about today. And oddly enough, I want to offer my theory about how Bush blew his chance after 9/11 to free us from irony, which Michael Stipe (REM singer) once called “the shackles of youth.”

Osama is sick... and a zealot... with tons of money via the Bush family connections...  \n\nBush is a fool...also wealthy from"donations" from Bush family connections... but i mean is he retarded??? his lack of  basic grammar is a clear indicator... i mean come on all you Bush lovers... do i have to really bring out the ole "catastrophic success" what the hell is that... Yale's standards have really gone down hill...\n\nThe fact is these two guys are puppets for big oil... Who has benefited the most from all this chaos caused by these two morons... humm... 75 bone$ for a barrel of oil!!!! Speculators predict 85 by mid summer!!! \n\nIf people would open their eyes a get over all this petty nonsense... They would see that it doesn't matter who is worse... or better... it all comes down to everyday ordinary people getting a "roster in the but" \n\n\nCastro... who cares... were talking about Cuba man... the only problem i have with Cuba is i cant get their cigars as easy as I'd like.

Well maybe if he had questioned most of the decisions that were put in front of him he would not have made so many mistakes. It could well be that this is exactly whats wrong with President Bush He Listens to much to the wrong people.\nI suppose it don't matter now anyway he will be gone soon enough. Maybe the next President will question more and avoid making the same error's as G W BUSH Jr.

I saw him on the Daily Show last night. He comes out and puts his hands together in a prayer position and bows from the waste like a Buddhist monk. What's more he was dressed all in black with his hair slicked back. He had kind of a Steven Segal thing going. It really looked ludicrous. So, no, I don't take him at all seriously.\n\nPS to Lou: Mr. Bush's score on the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test at age 22 suggests that his I.Q. was the mid-120's.

Is personal persona is probably vastly different from his public one. The media have probably caught him in a place that could be deemed that he is conflicting with his supposed values, but who is to say  that was not staged?\nAlso of cause it could work the other way and he in reality he is a bigot (he is certainly a racist just look at Hurricane Katrina debacle) but just tries to give the impression of not being, but when caught in uncompromising situations he has to try and defend his already bruised reputation.\nBeing a Brit the same could be asked of our supposed prime minister (hopefully he won't be for much longer). He is a bigot, racist (government wise for the true Brits (we can't even have nativity plays in schools anymore, but that is a whole different issue) and total and utter idiot, but that is not who you are talking about, but to my mind they are both as bad as each other, just that George Bush has a bigger country to play with and ruin.

This absolutely true, and they should have to be checked to see if they are competent also. I think George bush is insane myself.

I personally think Bush is trying to finish Daddy's job. the Job Daddy's couldn't do! I think if people are going to come to the US or other country's the need to do it right. There are some Illegals out there that are here to make an honest living and do better for them self and there family. I am parted on that one. I think let the ones who are here stay the ones who want to come over have them do it right. It is sad. all Bush did was fuck the US over! here Clinton just started to get us on tract after the first bush! and someone will have to come in and clean up this mess also! it was such a close race this last term! unfortunately I live in a red state! where gays have no rights and yet men own women when they are married. I live in Oklahoma it is so far behind in the times. anyway. If bush wast elected we would not have had any problems. I know allot of people who praised him at fist now the regrets voting him in. All he is doing is trying to prove him self to DADDY, he is a greedy son of a bitch! sorry for going on and on.

Actually,  I think you're totally right.  Have you noticed how stressed out the man has looked lately?  He has really aged over the past 2 or 3 years.  He is stuck in an unwinnable war, and he doesn't know how to get out of it.  Now that his party doesn't control congress, he can blame all his troubles on that.  He can ask congress for all kinds of wacky nutjob laws, and when they refuse to pass them, he can say, "Look, everything would be better if congress had passed the Give a Range Rover to Every Iraqi bill, but they rejected it, so you can't blame me!"

Yes, he's brain damaged from using drugs and alcohol like crazy all of his young life.  He can't put a concept together anymore so all he does is listen to the people who tell him lies-- they try to make things sound better than they are.\n\nBush will never be able to tell the truth about anything.  He was conditioned as a young man to think the wrong way.  He is the perfect example of what young people should not be.\n\nThat's why he wants people to believe that it is a good idea to stay.  The elections showed that nobody believes him.  They stole votes to make the race look more respectable for them, but they lost by a landslide.\n\nBring the troops home NOW

Hate him, if it makes you feel any better. Frankly, though, I don't think he'll lose any sleep over it. And you'd be wasting your life doing so.\n\nBetter: focus your energies on making positive changes for the future. Bush won't be in office much longer (although you'd think with the answers some people give on here that he has already managed to establish himself with a lifetime monarchy), and you need to get behind who you want to see in the office of President.

sorry, he seems to have some brain fuction, but i see where you are getting at. i personally think he is a puppet for other people in the white house.
