Kucinich Questions Bush's Mental Health

I saw that Texas tag, and I'm a not raging on Bush 'cause he's a Texan; and I'm glad you understand it's the man I dislike, not his country of origin.

I'm glad that you noticed that I sometimes write in the same words spoken by my countrymen. Especially southerners. Sometimes, that's the best way to get a point across. And if Mark Twain could do it and become so well respected, I guess I can too.

anhinga, despite my personal dislike of the man, do you realize just how much extra impact he gets from butchering the English way of speaking? Let's not sell him too short. Every time he does one of these "Bushisms", he is quoted threefold, which is just what he wants. (Or at least those who "run" him want.)

There's a clown leading every parade, but that don't mean there ain't some serious people in the drum and bugle core. (Speaker, was that "southern" enough for you, my friend?) This is how I see the Bush Presidency.

And the leader of the drum and bugle corps is Dick "Shotgun" Cheney. The man I think is the "real" President of the United States. Someone I trust just as far as I can throw a volkswagon.

Interesting point. Having seen footage of Bush immediately after 9-11 I think the decline as you put it began when he had to actively sell the Iraq war. Maybe Bush heart and mind was never really into the Iraq war to begin with.

It's funny you should say that. While I can tolerate Bush, when I see Cheney, I cringe. I think the man is the epitome of evil. I really do.

Regan went downhill as well in office. We all remember his bad memory. Bush seems to be going down that road as well.

He is a video of Bush in a interview. I truly believe he thinks this video will only air in Ireland. He is all over the place.

Xpert, I suspect that Bush's "heart and mind" never were really all that involved in the Iraq war. I personally think that the man is doing as he is told by whomever has manipulated him from the start.

I am not saying Bush is an idiot because he certainly isn't; however, his presidency, in my opinion, has been hi-jacked by some individuals who have nothing but ill intentions. He was not smart enough to see it coming and when it hit, he didn't know how to stop it. So, you know the old saying: "If you can't beat em', join em." Unfortunately for him and America the most, that is what he has done.

Yeah, Rhain, Reagan used to even joke about his loss of memeory. "Nancy, where's my brain?"

I want to say that I regard that as an excellent summary of the situation that was at hand. In past times I would have given you a WATS vote.
Cheers xpert11.

I'm in no way trying to derail the idea of this thread, which is to question the mental health of our president. And I'm really only half joking when I say that people have been questioning it for years; long before he became president.

The truth is that if he was a herd bull, I would cull him. He's never been smart enough to be anything more than "Daddy's Boy", and now instead of Daddy, he has other handlers. As the governor of Texas, he could only screw up so much; but as the President of the United States, he has a much wider canvass.

Would this be the Dennis Kucinich who questions the president's mental health?

NGC, what you have to realize is that in Texas, the position of governor is rather weak. It is like the second weakest governor in the U.S. The Lieutenant Governor, which was Rick Perry during Bush's term, is the one with the power. Very little of what happened during Bush's tenure as governor of Texas was his doing, very little.

Didn't GWB do a lot of drugs when he was young? ie pot, cocain. His symptoms remind me very much of someone that's had too many drugs and damaged a lot of brain cells. I know the damage becomes a lot more pronounced in older age. I think when GWB retires he should become the ambassador of the anti-drugs campaign, I'm sure his example will steer a lot of young people away from doing drugs.

I do not believe it is dementia

When he was in Texas he believed he was still a good person doing good.

When he sold out to the dark side he had to face the fact that he is now doing evil, it eats at him and is destroying him. In Texas he was able to at least tell the truth in debates, now everything he says is either a lie or a distortion to hide other lies. Somewhere in him he knows the truth and it makes it so he can not stand and speak in front of others.

He is in constant denial of his failure from his own knowledge of what is right. That is what I see in him, well that and fear. I think he is over his head with out the character to do what he knows is right.

NG I believe you just nailed it. I'm no English Professer but I think I know what you mean by "A half bubble off plumb." (Thats the first time I read a phrase as this one.) In other words Bush has a screw loose.

This should be archived in the (new Don't have one get one -please) ATS Hall of Fame.

NG you should try your luck as a stand up comic. (That was funny.)
