Bush in 2000...... Bush Today... compare photos

Then


Now

you said it

It's pretty amazing that after eight years, he is even more of a childish bafoon. I don't think he mentally matured beyond JR. High School.

That top picture looks like he's in his 30's. Maybe taken when he was first elected Texas Governor?

Official campaign photo in 2000...

toll on the face of each occupant of the White House. There is no way McCain will make it. He has too many health problems. He is a very fragile man. It is kind of sad, because some of his fragility, one has to admit, has grown out of his plane accidents and his POW years.

We can sympathize, but you don't place someone in such a stressful role because you care about them or because you sympathize for them or you pity them or even as a way to say "Thank you" for the sacrifices.

It would have been appropriate for McCain to run in 2000. That's the truth of the matter. But Bush won the nomination -- (and see what we got).

The kind thing to do is to vote for Obama and spare McCain the stress and suffering of the presidency.

McCain should sit back and enjoy the winter of his life. 71 is not too old for everyone, but it is because of his health. It's crazy for him to be running considering his health.

Having had more vacation time than any other president.
Golfing, Fishing, Bike-riding , brush-clearing , driving around in little presidential seal adorned golf-carts.
All that sun exposure can be hard on the skin.

That is what presidents have to be able to withstand -- all the frustration -- having the power, but not really the authority to do what needs to be done. If you believe in our democratic system of government, the job is easier because you don't see yourself as a frustrated dictator . . . . . You aren't thinking that it would be easier if . . . . .

Clinton actually WORKED at being president.

And he didn't take 9,999 vacations, some lasting an entire month.

AND he led, rather than sat back and spouted slogans.

There is no justice.

The evil is grinding him down from the inside.

Yeah, Clinton aged too, but he looks great now. I bet * still looks like hammered shit 8 years from now.

:hi:

America when Bush came into office....

:)

America now.......

:nuke:

The Chimp even screwed up the Dorian Gray bit, getting it completely backwards.

and Bush on 01/20/09

And McCain I think has the type of personality that will make him even more susceptible to stress and premature aging.

:)

:evilgrin:

Second photo: Same thing, only after eight years of fucking up a job more appropriately shouldered by someone with intelligence, curiosity, a strong work ethic, wit, compassion, insight and determination.
