because he's finding the job too much for him?

We all know what an idiot he made of himself in the months following his Inaugeration.

And now this latest fiasco over the hijacking of airplanes which he considered "routine".

Can't you just see him curled up in a corner somewhere sucking his thumb mumbling "Mom, Mom I want my Mom"?

I can.

ok, who left the gate to the mental ward open?
 
He's too nice to be got rid of and too thick to know he should go.

The greater problem is not Bush so much as the system of election which is so lucre-dependent. It's not even if the money is wealth accumulated by the individual through their own hard work - it is an aristocracy where the capital has been amassed in dynasties over decades, either in families or in corporations.
It is a system which is fundamentally flawed: an empire which will not last.

Globalisation and technological developments are, I imagine, the major forces which will bring about an evolution in this dinosaur of a political system.

That's a "no".
 
Nope, he is not going anywhere. But certainly hope there are a lot less democrats this time next year.

And I hope cnnabcnbcmsnbctime are out of business.

Bush wouldn't know what a job was if it bit him in the ass.

We know, but I doubt he does.

Need I say more?

I like this visionary, but I can't say say I believe he'd be that smart.
So much for daydreams

I don't think Bush will voluntarily leave the presidency. I do think (keep in mind I'm every bit the political fruitcake as some people on the board, it's just not what I'm known for) that should things go bad for the powers behind him he is the one going to be crucified. It remains to be seen what happens to him though.

Yes the American system reminds me very much of the Indian one.

A few ruling families creating and holding on to their dynasties...

But as America worships the might dollar I suppose she would worship anything the dollar gave birth to...

I personally find it offensive that people that don't even live under the American system and aren't even truly educated in how it is currently working would make such comments. It says alot of the other nationalities...French...British...Italian...

And no, Bush won't leave the presidency. He has a 70% approval rating from the public and seems to be doing a good job, despite the fact I disagree with his budgeting decisions.
 
Oh, and btw, the Indian ruling system (from india) doesn't really exist, although they do have some more likely to be elected groups perhaps. They have hundreds of parties on their ballets and whoever is elected serves...forming coalition governments. So much for a dynasty...100+ parties, and even the rich ones aren't always elected...not that it matters, the rich ones do tend to be the smarter ones (thus the cash they have...)
 
If Dubya does get his ass in trouble he'll just bomb Iraq, and his popularity will sky-rocket. Worked before.

And why should you find it offensive?

The rest of the world sees America as it is presented to us through your culture, legal, media and political systems.

If it seems a little strange to us or completely insane are you saying we can't comment on the fact because you get offended?

Well tough titty. As long as America sets herself up as "Leader of the Free World" then she has to learn that the rest of us can say what we damn well like about her.

Unless you're also saying you only want to hear nice things...

I thought that was Bush's prerogative!

:p
 
p_p_man, Resident Bush is not going to give up his residency. The Supreme Court gave it to him fair and square.

When all of the info comes out regarding the administrations failure to put the security data together regarding the flight schools, the hijacking data and info from abroad that hijackers tried waback when to get a pilot to fly into the Eifel Tower (because the hijackers couldn't fly the plane) and the fact Bush was poised to sign documents supporting a worldwide attack on al-Quada days before the attack, hopefully the public will see it for what it was and become outraged.

He wanted backing for his war and he willingly, wontonly and neglegently sacrificed innocents to get it. I hope he burns. I would not back the man at this point if he produced stigmata. I am ashamed at what the world thinks of our leader and this administration. Getting a blow job and trying to keep it a private matter was enough for impeachment but the public will probably let this slide. God help us and in the mean time p_p_man keep up the commentary.

How did they "give" it to him. This ought to be interesting since the recounts, held under the watchful eyes of the [liberal/right wing - choose one] press gave the victory to Bush under every Gore recount scenario save the one he did not ask for (or want, since he thought statistically that it would go against him, e.g., he only challenged where mathematically, he could rely on errors, to gain a little ground).

The only thing the Supreme Court did was to tell the Leftist Activist Florida Supreme Court that they could not legislate on the fly...

Come on SINthysist you know as well as I do that if the fiasco in Florida had been repeated elsewhere in the world America would have been jumping up and down yelling "foul". and shouting from the rooftops what a great 'democratic ' country you are.

Bush wasn't voted in, he won the Presidency through the courts. And that woman had something to do with that as well. You know the one I mean who seemed to have a bit too much influence on procedure considering she was a member of the Republican Party.

It surprised me that Bush had the bloody cheek to say he wanted to see a fair and democratic election in Zimbabwe.

Has the man no shame!

Americans may look at the last election and try to explain away the mess it was with long debates about the Constitution, the Electoral College and the Bill of Rights...

But whatever happened to one man, one vote?

Quite a few of them from overseas mysteriously disappeared 'in the post'. And what's more nobody seemed to care! As if it's quite normal in American elections for a few thousand votes to go astray every now and then.

You've got to admit, it was a farce...

We all know what a moron it takes to criticize the President when you can't even spell the words correctly.

Since the inauguration, President Bush has shown himself to be one of the best presidents in the last 100 years.

He not only should NOT resign, but those calling for his resignation out themselves as less than intelligent and fair-minded.

Jesus how far back in history does your experience reach?

He's an arsehole!

Everybody says so...

:p
 
I am not a President Bush fan per se', BUT I am glad he is in the Oval Office at this time in history rather than Gore. Gore would have been a disaster in dealing with the terror attacks. His shifting with the wind policy in combination with his lack of ability to polarize a body of people would be horrible in this situation. Dubya' is the right man for this job. Now when this so called economic turn around falters (it's being led by consumer spending that is running amuck) will he be the right man for that job, I have my doubts. Bottom line, our two party political system is a sham and we are stuck with the lesser of two evils. Now thats the real issue!

Yep you really need a good strong minority Party to give people more choice or to use as a protest vote.

Can't see it happening though, more's the pity...
