There are no words to adequately describe the lack of leadership, the callousness this man regards other humans with, the lack of compassion or even concern, that Mr. Bush exhibited throughout this disaster, especially in the first few days, when he couldn't even be bothered to disrupt his summer vacation. What a worthless excuse for a human this man has turned out to be. He is a national embarrassment.

1. If it wasn't an insult to Austistic people, I would say he behaves as if
he were autistic, in his total disregard for everything around him.

2. sociopath
Bush is a sociopath, pure and simple. No amount of trying to understand his behavior will find anything inside him but an empty hole. He has no soul.

3. Agreed....
He is incapable of feeling empathy. He's just a cold storage shed. Same for Dick Cheney and Condi Rice - they don't display anything resembling humanity.

7. It blows my mind
how most of the people around Bush and that support him are of the same sort.

They care nothing about anyone or anything other then themselves, their money and their property. Nothing else seems to matter.

5. He & his administration has a total disconnect
with today's reality in America. He wants to be corporate globalist king and never was interested in being president. He wasn't selected to be president.

6. Bush hardly cares. They aren't his "haves and the have mores" of his base.
