Our National disaster, President George W. Bush, encourages all World leaders by assuring them they are not the biggest idiot on the Planet.
Our National disaster, President George W. Bush, encourages all World leaders by assuring them they are not the biggest idiot on the Planet.
George W Bush is completely unaware that he is both laughed at by world leaders and scorned by 75% of the planet . Masquerading as a world leader ~ he has become America's true national disaster and it may take years to undo the careless damage and permanent grief he has wrought: Allen L Roland 
To understand George W Bush, you must be aware that he just doesn't care what you or anyone else thinks ~ He's entitled, the ultimate decider and he revels in this power and the fear that it generates both at home and abroad.That's why Molly Ivins wrote that Bush " is genuinely disconnected from the impact of his decisions on people .. Bush is just another upper-class white boy trying to prove he's tough ~ and this is a man in such serious denial it would be pathetic if it weren't damaging so many lives ..Bush's real problem is not deception, but self-deception."
Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist, really captured the true Bush at the last European G8 meeting in 2006 ~ where Bush obliviously groped German Chancellor Merkle's shoulders during the conference.

Bush Gropes, Planet Cringes

Knead a German chancellor, banter dumbly, reveal global ignorance. It's Dubya abroad!
Mark Morford, S.F,Gate columnist

Excerpt: " So now we know. I mean, we sort of thought we knew, before, what kind of guy George W. Bush is, essentially our very own inept, inarticulate ex-alcoholic ex-frat-guy failed-businessman pseudo-leader who famously appeals to the most God-fearin' and least educated and least attuned among us because he is, well, one of them.

Then again, this was a G-8 summit. Israel and Lebanon are burning. Iraq is in tatters. North Korea is spitting on the world. Global leaders are gathered to discuss the most pressing and violent issues on the planet, many of which the Bush administration had a clammy hand in exacerbating. Might not be the best time for the leader of the free world to give a cheesy frat-guy neck rub to his German gal-pal in front of the world media. You think?

See, now we get it. This is the bottom line, the final truth, George W. Bush in a nutshell. Bush thinks he is That Guy. The one everybody just loves to have around, the one who sincerely thinks his goofy charm is so appealing and so innocuous and so licky-puppy friendly that he can get away with all sorts of casual infractions and weird gestures no one else would care to attempt lest they appear, you know, dorky as a pinwheel hat.

And you know what? Bush really is That Guy. Just not in the way he wants to think.

In other words, he is indeed That Guy, like the best man at the wedding party, the one standing out in the center of the room, casually and cluelessly telling off-color jokes that offend everyone but which he thinks are gul-dang hilarious and, hell, if you're offended then you're just some gul-dang hippie liberal. Haw.

He is That Guy. The one who thinks he is everybody's bestest pal, the guy everyone wants to kick back with and have a few brewskies and chat about baseball and lawn fertilizer and Jesus. After all, isn't that what we all desire of the man who decides some of the most difficult, deadly, complicated issues on the planet? Isn't that slacked, frat-guy goofiness exactly what you want trying to broker peace in the Middle East and understand global warming and stem-cell research? Sure it is.

And when it comes to women (or rather, "wimmin"), well, it's all taken one step further. Or, rather, downward. It's like an awkward scene from "The Office," where Steve Carell's character Michael Scott, the smarmy manager everyone secretly loathes but who himself believes to be the funniest and most likable and naturally gifted guy in the room, walks up to one of his female employees and grabs a mango and cracks a grossly inappropriate joke about vaginas and laughs hard, slaps everyone on the back, and then takes a big, gross bite of the mango. What a kidder!

He does not, of course, realize no one else is laughing. "

And America is no longer laughing at our true national disaster ~ George W Bush ~ who is destined to take not only his party down the tubes in November but leave the legacy of a failed Iraq and devastated economy to the Democrats ~ while he obliviously celebrates the damage without an ounce of regret.
