What do I think of Bush? Very lucky.
It is a shame that what appeals to a lot of american voters has nothing to do with ability, but a lot to do with packaging. Bush may not be the most capable person for president but he was elected. I think he was elected? Hard to tell.
As a moderate conservative, I am glad the reps have the White House. As long as he proceeds the way he said he would, I dont even care if he can read. There are a lot of very smart people in Washington and some of them are on ole' George's side.
Is George Bush the most intelligent charismatic to hold the office?
No.
Can he do what he said he would?
Yes.
Was he in the right place at the right time? Yes.
Is the White House going to be his personal lust playhouse?
No.
The most brilliant, capable and charismatic people in america are not running for president. They are running corporations and such.
Plus, Gore is a goober!

Although i agree with your post (mostly) i would like to say that IMO Clinton was a good President, and should be remembered for that, not for a certain indulgence with a cigar and an intern.Originally posted by Happy Evil:

Got that right, Lone Ranger. Eisenhower had a mistress during WWII--his WAC assistant--and afterwards. FDR had numerous affairs on his wife, even after his bout with polio. Kennedy was quite the playboy. Warren Harding's cabinet actually hired and ran their own personal bordello--it's documented.Originally posted by Happy Evil:
<STRONG>Alright Sleep, Clinton was OK. Two terms is quite a feat. Its certainly not as if the democrats have a monopoly on adultry.

And then there's the campaign chant of Benjamin Harrison's supporters, after it became clear that Grover Cleveland had an affair and illegitimate kid (he later married the woman):
"Ma, ma! Where's my pa! Gone to the White House, ha ha ha!"
Sure, it lacks pith, but get a few thousand people together saying in unison as they march, and it has a certain rhythm.
PS: Gore has brains, Bush had a campaign that portrayed him as "mister moderate." Now, we have mister far-right, who can't find a place to steal money for all his promises, after his big tax refund.
To the Righteous belong the fruits of violent victory. The rest of us will have to settle for warm friends, warm lovers, and a wink from a quietly supportive universe.
Who really cares who the president is? I don't. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the president doesn't have the power, the senate does. I do like the fact that he want to drill in alaska and is for the continued drilling in the Gulf of Mexico,(hence my job security )
As far as a human being, I think they are all a bunch of crooked b*stards!

That reminds me of a great old anecdote about Taft, which I've heard vouched for on several occasions. It seems that one of the bulwarks of politics, influence and industry in the late 19th century was Chauncey Depeuw. He was also an exceptionally strident and vindictive man, who supposedly engineered the upset victory of RB Hayes as President over Tilden, because of a comment Tilden made about Depeuw's baldness in the legislature. ("Don't shake your gory locks at me!" It brought the House down, and made an enemy for life.)Originally posted by Kayless:
<STRONG>You forgot about William H. Taft’s illicit affair with Mr. Burns’ mother. “Taft, you old dog!”
Depeuw approached Taft, while the latter was President, at a formal gathering in a swank men's lounge. Taft had enormously increased in size (he was over 300 pounds), and Depeuw couldn't resist. "Expecting, Mr. President?" he asked in front of a crowd of friends.
Now, Taft was not known for his wit, but his equitable temper. On this occasion, though, he replied, "If, in fact, it is a boy, I shall of course name it after myself. If it is a girl, I shall name it after my beloved helpmeet. But if, as I expect, it is nothing but a bag of hot wind, I shall name it Chauncey Depeuw."
The room exploded in laughter.

What happened here was the gradual habituation of the people, ... to receiving decisions deliberated in secret; to believing that the situation was so complicated that the government had to act on information which the people could not understand, or so dangerous that, even if he people could understand it, it could not be released because of national security.

Cartoon Law III
Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming to its perimeter. Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the speciality of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.
