We also are still peeved that Bush is only President because some some dummies in Palm Beach Florida couldn't fill out a ballot. Democrats seem to attract the smartest and the absolute dumbest people into their ranks along with a lot of people of common sense. The Republicans are left over with the semi-bright and the semi-dense, most of whom confuse simplistic thinking with decisive common sense.

    As a President, Bush looks like an idiot. A semi-dense guy having a beer with the guys watching Football is fine. When he's deciding economic policy it's disturbing. We just can't get over the obviousness that he's just a front man for an unelected organization that is behind him. People think they voted for Bush. Bush is just the figure head of a hawkish extreme right team whose arrogant, bumbling policies are masked by the Bush "good old boy" charm. People think he's harmless. He is harmless.  But the men behind him aren't.

    When you see Bush speak at a press conference next to say, Tony Blair, the difference is striking. Blair eloquent, knowledgeable, intelligent. Bush, stuttering, redundant, ignorant. Bush is the rich frat boy that got everything handed to him. In Revenge of the Nerds, he would have been one of the bad guys. In nearly every college based movie, Bush would have been the rich, spoiled, obnoxious, mean spirited blue blooded jerk that everyone boos and hisses at. Yet at election day, people voted for him. Not the majority of people. Not even a plurality of people (he lost by a million votes). But a lot of people voted for him.

    Another reason we despise Bush is that because the people actually running the show behind Bush are unelected and incredibly arrogant. The invasion of Iraq was carried out with extreme hubris and arrogance. Would it have even happened if the French hadn't acted like such asses to rally support behind Bush? Who knows. But think about this, the United States used about as many troops to invade the tiny island of Okinawa as they used to invade the much larger Iraq. And Okinawa, generously being an island, meant no insurgents were coming in from nearby undeclared hostiles.

    So what? Bush cuts taxes, creates record deficits after his predecessor left him with record surpluses and obliviously leads our country into ruin because he doesn't know any better. That's why the left despises him.
