My Take on Bush Latest Press Conference

What can I say? I already had low expectations going in and Bush did not disappoint. This is the man that the republicans want to lead this nation? Yeah, I know that Bush is an average guy, which is why we should be looking for above average people to serve as president. I mean he was on vacation and had a chance to prep for any and all questions. It was as some have said "very painful" to watch. Bush has conviction, but limited intellect and reasoning ability. While some of the questions put Bush on the spot, that he could not finesse them speaks volumes on his ability to fully serve in his capacity as president. He doesn't have a clue and is a significant hinderance to our country's ability to be taken serious and believed by the rest of the world. The folly of invading Iraq was an open secret. Any prudent reading of the Middle East and Iraqi history would have underscored the difficulty not of taking Iraq, but of holding it. That Bush and his underlings seem to have no historical perspective has been a tragedy for the country and their policies are leading to the needless deaths and grevious wounding of thousands of soldiers. And now Bush wants the U.N. to step in. What did Bush call the U.N. just last year? Irrelevent? I think the country and the world are finding out who is really irrelevent. For all his bluster and tough talk, Bush is now relying on events to shape the Iraq policy instead of truly developing a plan. Bush's performance at the press conference was par for the course and as usual we are all the poorer for it.
