Well there's not really much doubt that GWB has increased the powers of the executive branch to the detriment of the other branches of government, but I'm not overly worried about him personally. He'll be out in 2008 without question. What does bother me is how his legacy will make it easier for less ethical, less scrupulous people (and GWB for all his many, serious faults is no Vladimir Putin or Hugo Chavez) to do away with the constitution (as happened to Germany in the 1930's). An erosion of our democratic processes and institutions is a disturbing thing however you look at it.

A key figure in US political philosophy is Leo Strauss, and a lot of what you see being trotted out by the likes of GWB is quite true to that philosophy (i.e. Constitution is not absolute and may be repealed or suspended if the national need is deemed great enough). I don't like that idea - hence i disagree with Strauss (and GWB et al) on a fundamental level.

I was just curious to see if the entire world thinks the man is a moron, or if it might have been just me....

Note that Canada and Mexico are listed separately because of their proximity to the US and being part of the North American continent, and also because "Non-US North America" just sounds awkward.

Yes,he's a blundering idiot.Grandpa Bush and his cronies are the ones who really run the show.

The mere idea that someone with the verbal ineptitude of GWB can be elevated to the position of President is truly frightening. Personally, I want the person most qualified for the job, and the qualifications should include sound judgement and an ability to express oneself articulately. Unfortunately, he has fallen far short on both counts.

Everyone just constantly misunderestimates him!

1. His accent. It's an unfortunate truth in life that when someone has a strong accent, others immediately attribute qualities to that person -- whether or not they deserve it. Accents can vary dramatically depending on country, state/province and region. Having an accent doesn't mean one is smart or stupid; it just means they speak with an accent. But thanks to Hollywood, we have these preconceived notions of what people from certain places "should" be like and and speak like, so if we come across anything that confirms these stereotypes in anyway possible, then it must be "true."

I think it's amusing that he isn't even originally from Texas!!! He's from the Northeast!!! But boy, he's milked that "good ole' boy" persona for all it's worth, hasn't he?

I don't really think he's an idiot,but I DO think that he definitley is the wrong person for being the US President.

I wish they could change the law and if so Bill Clinton could have been on for a third and fourth term.

But hey if Hillary get's elected we get a bit of Bill in there too so that will work for me.

May GW go back to Texas and stay there.

No need for Hillary to be elected; pretty much anyone can get a bit of Bill.

This is a short poem made up entirely of actual

quotations from George W. Bush. These have been

arranged, only for aesthetic purposes, by Washington

Post writer, Richard Thompson. A wonderful Haiku poem

like this is too good not to share.

MAKE THE PIE HIGHER

I think we all agree, the past is over.

This is still a dangerous world.

It's a world of manmen and uncertainty

And potential mental losses.

Rarely is the question asked

Is our children learning?

Will the highways of the Internet

Become more few?

How many hands have I shaked?

They misunderestimate me.

I am a pitbull on the pantleg of

opportunity.

I know that the human being

And the fish can coexist.

Families is where our nation finds hope,

Where our wings take dream.

Put food on your family!

Knock down the tollbooth!

Vulcanize society!

Make the pie higher!

I am the Decider!

Pass this on. Help cure mad Cowboy disease in the

next election.

You mean his people were smart enough to rig the election to make it look like he beat John Kerry.

You can't think he did that for himself, the man can barely feed himself without dribbling....

Why wouldn't they rig the 2004 election? If the FL election debacle in 2000 were repeated, it would look a tad suspicious...
