A insight into Pres. Bush's personality, A True Texan, page 1

An article that shows you some foresight about Bush's personality. Seems out of the private eye, he wasen't such a bad guy,

news.yahoo.com...

WASHINGTON – President George W. Bush will be judged on what he did. He will also be remembered for what he's like: a fast-moving, phrase-mangling Texan who stays upbeat even though his country is not.

For eight years, the nation has been led by a guy who relaxes by clearing brush in scorching heat and taking breakneck bike rides through the woods. He dishes out nicknames to world leaders, and even gave the German chancellor an impromptu, perhaps unwelcome, neck rub. He's annoyed when kept waiting and sticks relentlessly to routine. He stays optimistic in even the most dire circumstances, but readily tears up in public. He has little use for looking within himself, and only lately has done much looking back.

Bush's style and temperament are as much his legacy as his decisions. Policy shapes lives, but personality creates indelible memories — positive and negative.

Call it distinctly Bush.

Great article and I think you'll find it enjoyable.

Bush isn't a Texan.

en.wikipedia.org...-life

He was born in Connecticut.

He own property in Texas. Oh yeah, and Paraguay.

If I owned property on Maui; would that make me Hawaiian?

George Bush is an East Coast Yankee.

but that was a good article on the President.

I was just going to say that. you beat me to it.

George W bush doesnt know what it means, nor does he have what it takes to be a real Texan. Georgie Porgie is just a lame duck, poser with a bad record and an even worse admin. he will go down and history as such, regardless of what he and his cronies think of how they will be percieved.

He is moving very close to me after his term is up (unfortanatley)... You should hear the people the news has interviewed in the area he is moving to. I remember one lady said " I guess its ok if he lives in my nieghborhood, just as long as he leaves everyone alone and minds his own business"

Most Texans (Including republcians) have lost all respect for the man. He screwed up and thats how he will be remembered(atleast around here). A screw up.

George Bush a true Texan? This Texan disagrees.

I like this article better, its much more insightful and hard hitting. Mr. Bush has given Texas a bad name, I think he would do great in Paraguay! Especially since he turned our country into a 3rd world nation with his idiotic policies, propoganda and incompetence!

A President Forgotten but Not Gone

If the world catches a break from fate, one day Bush, Cheney, Meyers, Rumsfeld and other Eichmann-like boffins of death in the Bush administration will be up on charges before the International War Crimes Tribunal.

Bush has done way more than give Texas a bad name. He has, and richly deserves the hatred of the world.

I read the linked article pointed out in your post. Thanks for posting it. It is quite amusing and insightful on the psychology of Bush. It is the kind of article that could be expanded into a book because it touches on many ramifications of Bush's failures of personality.

What troubles me as a non-American though is the alarming way that Bush's self absorption and lack of contextual awareness mirrors that of the United States itself.

In Britain there are people seriously working to have Tony Blair charged as a war criminal. The mere fact that Bush has taken steps to immunize people who have acted against any number of laws in doing his administration's bidding begs the question, "Is anyone in the US trying to have George W. Bush tried as a war criminal?"

I haven't heard of it. I'm sure there are such people, but the prevailing notion that one observes among Americans is that, yes, Iraq was a huge mistake, but that at most, America should, in the words of Donald Trump, "Declare victory and get out."

Americans really don't seem to be voicing any expectation that their own home grown Nazi-style war criminal should be facing punishments appropriate to a Nazi war criminal. The American moral sense has no trouble coping with small time multiple murderers. It has no trouble coping with big time political murderers if they are foreigners.

However, confronted with a big time political murderer who is American, American moral sense goes "tilt" like an arcade game that stops working.

America is a lot like "Dubya" in that respect.
