Nothing is ever the president's fault

> Each new Bush administration story reminds me of the scene in the movie "Good Will Hunting," when Robin Williams' character, a counselor, has a breakthrough with Matt Damon's character.
>
> "It's not your fault," Williams says over and over to the brilliant but troubled Will Hunting, whose overly aggressive, angry, self-destructive behavior constantly lands him in trouble. Hearing that it was not his fault, Hunting eventually breaks down, sobbing uncontrollably. He's finally on the path to redemption.
>
> In America's version of this drama, President Bush lacks Hunting's brilliance but he's got the aggression and destruction mastered. He insults, dismisses, attacks, denies and disappears - usually to his ranch in Texas, where he has so far spent 20 percent of his presidency on vacation...........
>
.......So why not start a war? Why not cover up for Rove? Why not ignore the Senate and appoint Bolton? Why not take another vacation? His supporters will never blame him for anything, so Bush may as well do whatever he wants.

1. ARROGANCE is the result of DELUSION..."I can do no Wrong"
Bush is the most Arrogant of Presidents this Nation has ever seen...elected/stolen with the help of other Arrogant peeps/sheep out there.

Other Leaders of like kind from the past tells us this the wrong path to take...

Bush has hurt this Nation and its Future and will continue to worsen.

His Leadership style is based on Negative Values....lie cheat steal, intimidate, BULLY.

2. Oh but if you point that out,
you are a radical hateful bush-hater. Why people enable this arrogant ass is beyond me. But if your not an enabler you're not a good american. Definitely a cult of personality here.
