Reply #35: He is trying to live [View All]

up to his family's expectations, but unfortunately he has been a miserable failure at everything he's tried. He lives in his father's shadow and desparately wants his father's respect. His mother favors his brother Jeb and has even written as much which has to hurt. His desparation for acceptance makes him weak and vunerable to hawks such as Cheny, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz who have strong agendas and need a puppet as a face man. Bush is a first class bull**** artist who has survived by skinning and grinning. This has allowed him to mask his deficits and many shortcomings. Unfortunately you can fool some of the people some time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. He has not fooled the majority of the public and his mask has fallen and he looks like the Emperor with no clothes. I had pity at first for him until he was led into this war by his mentors which has cost the lives of our soldiers and thousands of others. His ignorance, self-delusion, and self-hatred can not be forgiven at cost such as these.
