A "President" Bush is a concept

I posted this in another thread and thought I'd post it as a thread.

Let's face it. After last night, it is very obvious (if it wasn't before) that Bush is nothing more than image. Bush is a concept. There is no substance to him. Bush the "president" and alleged leader of the free world has no vision. He has no sense of direction of where he thinks the country should go. I really don't think he has the intelligence, much less the desire, to have a vision for the country. He is only what he symbolizes to those that worship him. There has never been a president that is such a puppet for others' interests. Bush is important to the RW more for what he can symbolize than for what he is.

We've talked here before about how Bush is a puppet. But how much a puppet became frighteningly clear last night after the "mistakes" question. Bush was literally frozen with confusion and seemed to be desparately listening to his earpiece for someone to bail him out. He even admitted to being "put on the spot". Well, he's allegedly the president and should be on the spot. Bush was reduced to babbling nonsense.

Bush is nothing more than a bot. I'm very impressed with how the rest of the free world remains polite in its criticism of Bush.

I think "held hostage" is a more appropriate term. Dissenters will be met with either bombs or cut off from the foreign aid they need.

Comment? I thought that was so rude, and his redirecting the press? The press should have ripped him a new one today on how he is so childish. I thought he looked insane, unprepared, unstable, unnerved, and his true colors shined through...stupid.

I was just getting to post about it too. I can't believe he said that. Was that before or after he was talking about people comparing Iraq to Viet Nam and how that was undermining the effort? How does he think his comment affects the troops? Oh yeah, I forgot, he doesn't think before he speaks.

I haven't heard any of the local news reports, but I am wondering what the enlisted men and women think about that here in the San Diego area.

It should be very apparent that this imbecile has no clue whatsoever. Cheney (or Rove or Poppy) is President.

That said, when he was done the media immediately said, (Dan Rather) "The President was forceful and in control . . . blah blah blah"

So America says, "Did I hear what I thought I heard, or was I wrong?"

He said nothing. Just talking points we've all heard a million times. That's literally all he can handle. It's pathetic.

I sat here with a friend watching that "press conference" in disgust. We both agreed it was an unmitigated disaster for Bush. He skirted every question- even the softballs tossed by the corporate flunkies from Fox News and... the Washington Times, I believe.

He literally had nothing to offer but talking points like '9-11 chnaged everything' and 'evildoers hate freedom'.

"I'll say it again. . .

"A 'President' Bush is a concept by which we measure our pain."

(with apologies to God. . . and John Lennon).

But no, our dream isn't over. . . it lives within us all, only stilled somewhat by the misery wrought by the Bushbot. Come November, we'll push our misery and BushCo aside, consign both to the dustbin of history, and try to pick up the pieces again.

Administration as they have the unenviable job of cleaning up after this train wreck.
