Why does bush appear so RADICALLY different in his speeches?
It's as if there were several robot bush's, or stand ins, or look-alikes, or as if he has more than one distinct personality.

I noticed immediately on the day after we were attacked. He appeared suddenly, drastically different as he faced the camera and told the nation we had been attacked by al qaeda and Osama. I remember it, it's burned into my skull, he seemed like a totally different person, as if he were reading it at the point of a gun, like a hostage.

In his state of the union speeches he's well rehearsed and relaxed and confident, even though he reads every word, and every word is written for him, and he has no concept of the words he's reading, or their individual meanings.

And when he has off script dialogs, he's a bumbling, mumbling idiot, rambling off into weird directions like his dad, and acting as if he's there to make the reporters laugh.


But everyone agrees, Wednesday's speech was alarming, even for him, some days he's cocky, arrogant, bold and in your face, but the other night he seemed like an utterly different person, with all the masks and facades stripped away.

How can a man be this alarmingly bi-polar? How can this man be our so called president?

2. On the bad days
Cheney uses * as a punch bag.

On the good days Cheney lets * out to play on his bike.

3. MPD?
and check my sig. That is what they'll admit to. And doesn''t it explain a lot? And they could just blurt it out and no one would believe them! The perfect invasion plot!

jee I don't know. It's alarming and crazy, even if it's just a crazy guy who got himself "elected."

Crazy crazy crazy.

4. even my 15 y.o. daughter
when we were watching the other night wanted the camera to pull back so we could see whose hand was us his ass. The guy wasn't "there" at all. Maybe he really is begging for impeachment. He certainly didn't look like a guy that loved his job. More like, scared to death. :hi:

5. Medication?
Maybe some days it works good and some days it doesn't. And ever since he was found out cheating in the debates with the box on his back (and by the Foxies of all people) maybe he had a transmitter inserted in his ear and the reception isn't as good. If they can put those transmitters in you coins, just think what they can do if you let them.

6. That speech most likely was 'taped in advance' and heavily editted
and could be the reason no press photographers were allowed inside after the speech to take the traditonal pictures of the President standing behind the podium.

10. plus, isn't
9-9:30 his bedtime? Maybe the Ambien kicked in early and he's sleep-speechifying.

8. Look, he didn't really want this job
he wanted to be the commissioner of baseball. He got pushed along into this...just like he's been a passenger all his life with other people driving.
Governor was an easier gig. He's just so far out of his depth that his handlers have to script his every move. And when they don't? We get Bush blithely saying "now, watch this shot!" after being informed of more murder and mayhen in the Middle East.
He has no empathy.
Without a script, we get the Katrina Bush...telling "hurricane" jokes while people were, literally, dying. And voicing his concern for...Trent Lott's house. "We'll rebuild that house."
Or we get the zombie Bush right after 9-11 who looked like he was zonked on Prozac. Even the freepers at work turned away in disgust during that first broadcast...before his handlers got out his leather jacket and perched him on top of rubble in a warrior pose.
Remember that? If it's available, watch. The first TV appearance by Bush after 9-11 was the real Bush. No leadership. No inspiration. Just a guy scared to death who had no idea how to lead this country.

11. I think he is rapid cycling bipolar and that he is definitely doped up sometimes.
It would explain a lot about him if he was bp.

12. His Sun is in the 12th house
which means he has a hard time locating his personality.

The 12th house contains the subconscious, secrets, family skeletons, addictions, occult.

The Sun is your ego.
