Turns out that George Bush isn’t really my President…

When the going gets rough, the tough head to Crawford, or Idaho or VFW halls

So George ends his vacation with a few speeches to supporters and then another vacation. He moves from red state to red state, from military base to VFW hall, from one group of unquestioning supporters to another; all the while ignoring the mounting body counts in Iraq and rising opposition to the war among the American people. He tries to shore up support for the war by engaging his supporters, which is yet another stupid move from an out-of-touch elitist. Maybe now some of the people that voted for him will start to see their mistake.

George Bush doesn’t want to be America’s president, he wants to be the president of the people that like him and screw everyone else. He has never reached out to those who disagree with his policies or views. He cajoles, insults and belittles them. When politicians attack his policies, he (and Rove) try to destroy them (for example: Barbara Boxer). When those who know challenge his loose fitting of the facts (or lies) to reality he (and Rove) try to destroy them (for example: Joseph Wilson). Now that the American people are starting to question and disagree with him, he chooses to ignore us completely…

It is time for this president to be a man, to be a leader, to acknowledge what is really happening in Iraq and in his own country. To own up to his mistakes (after 1864 dead, can his still claim that he hasn’t ever made one mistake during his presidency?) and to engage the whole country in trying to fix them. Otherwise the next three years will be a comical farce as he jumps around the country from ever smaller red pocket to red pocket in an increasingly angry America; until finally he is just spending 100% of his time in Crawford pretending that everyone still loves him…
