GWB looking worse all the time...
Edited on Sat Jul-31-04 10:25 AM by BleedingHeartPatriot
Some people are ENERGIZED by hard work, being in charge, learning about issues and making informed decisions as a leader. (Kerry, Clinton et. al. )

Others are beaten up and exhausted by those demands...as this picture of GWB seems to display...a pained smile, wan pallor, fake enthusiasm. MKJ

2. Not to mention...
Edited on Sat Jul-31-04 09:34 AM by Myrina
being strung out on anti-depressants or in alcoholic withdrawl is really, really hard on the system.

3 1/2 years and Georgie must be one fried tater.


on edit: Cripes, he looks almost as old as Poppy in that pic :scared:

7. The front page of the Denver Post has side by side pictures of...
Bush and Kerry...Kerry looks great, and the picture of GWB is even worse than the one in the article. His eyes are glazed and he looks drugged or drunk. I hope I can find it somewhere, it was scary to see it when I opened the paper this morning. MKJ

24. He really does look bad.
Anti-depressants don't do that. Anti-depressants don't make you slur words and act goofy. He's on something stronger - perhaps valium or something similar. I've always thought that when he has to face the public - especially in press "conferences" - he is on something.

5. He looks like he's aged 20 years the last four
Oh yeah, since he's challenging people to look at what Kerry's done. Let's start looking or pointing to his record.
Failed businesses, screwed up Texas, screwed up the world.

27. Yes, trying to
portray Kerry as an underachiever is not exactly smart campaigning. Last night on one of the network news, either ABC or CBS (can't remember in morning fog) the reporter said that *'s advisors wanted him to talk about his future plans for America, but the jackass went with Kerry bashing because "he liked doing it."

6. new blotches on his face


left side of face - cheeck and forehead

he always breaks out when stressed, then he falls off of something
like a couch, a segway, ramp, a bike and again with the bike or a chalkmark on the floor....

16. It's the Bubba Nazi salute!
silly, winking facial expression, and a Sig Heil arm gesture!

Save this one, PhotoShoppers.

8. All presidents age in office. But for this guy his aging shows his lack
real spirit and sincerity... like I always say, mean bad people usually age badly (even when stretched beyong belief). They get an expression on their faces that shows the inner truth.

Clinton aged a lot also. But it gave him maturity (I am definitely biased... Clinton is so far from perfect that it is not funny... but he does have ideals that are still there in his heart and it shows.)

9. Bu$h isn't working hard, so it isn't the work that's wrecking his health.
Pills, cocaine & alcohol are more likely -- based on his past self-destructive behavior.

11. We watched "Outfoxed" last night
and it includes an interview from 2000. I couldn't believe how much younger and healthier he looked. Yes, all presidents seem to age more rapidly but that much change in just four years?

12. He's split. The disassociation is apparent.
He can still repeat memorized scripts, apparently, but the lights are out and nobody's home.

14. UNDERACHIEVER????? Shrub wrote the book
on "underachieving". I can't believe he would even use that word to describe Kerry. He's such a ridiculous moronic idiot and I cannot wait until November 2nd to see the last of his ugly stupid looking face.

15. I agree most President's age very quickly while in office. I wouldn't
Edited on Sat Jul-31-04 10:04 AM by jubug3
read too much into this. His mother aged very quickly also so maybe it's hereditary. I know his premature aging can't be due to hard work!

21. Tremors can be a sign of drug/alcohol abuse or prescription meds
or liver failure or Parkinson's disease or a lot of other things - but not one of them is a good thing.

If W is starting to get the shakes that is very bad news.

19. I honestly think it's fear of his empire crumbling.
He never took bad news well. Never had the ability to get up, dust off the dirt, and go on. There's soooo much bad news lately, I suspect he's afraid to get out of bed in the morning. W would watch to see if he deteoriates over the next 30 days. I heard he is going to be hard campaigning all the way up to the convention on Aug. 30th, and then the added stress of the convention. Save some pics from today, and do a side by side on Sept. 4th or 5th.

The news isn't going to stop just because he would like it to, and we are getting close (I think) to a report on the Plame case, there was just a report to congress on the mismanagement of $$ in Iraq, Tommy Franks has a new book coming out this tuesday "Proven Right" which sounds like it's not very flattering to the admin, and there's a whole list of additional things pending.

Life isn't good for the shrub.

20. I wouldn't be surprised if he had some kind of breakdown . . .
in the next few months . . . which is a pretty scary thought, what with his finger on the little red button and all . . .

30. Something Going On w/ the Left Side of *'s Face?

I notice three things which may indicate a stroke or TIA: The skin on the left side seems fractionally smoother, the wrinkles of the left eye are smaller and the left corner (the viewer's right) of his mouth is slightly lower than the right side.

I'll have to view more pictures to see if that's accurate or not, but it does give credence to the report that he seems to be concealing one hand.
