Bush struggles to regain pre-hurricane swagger

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9458693/

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - President Bush flew here ahead of Hurricane Rita on Friday to show command of a federal disaster response effort that even supporters acknowledge he fumbled three weeks ago.

(snip)

A president who roamed across the national and world stages with an unshakable self-assurance that comforted Republicans and confounded critics since 2001 suddenly finds himself struggling to find his swagger. Bush's standing with the public — and within the Republican Party — has been battered by a failed Social Security campaign, violence in Iraq, and most recently Hurricane Katrina. His approval ratings, 42 percent in the most recent Washington Post-ABC poll, have never been lower.

1. I always found that swagger revolting in the extreme

There was nothing that said "confident" about him in that to me AT ALL. It always screamed PLAYGROUND BULLY to me.

If the hurricanes have taken him down a few pegs, it's a good thing.

2. What does that freak have to be confident about?

Maybe the fact that he's more delusional that anyone on the face of the earth?

3. wish him and his swagger would go back to Texas

where he belongs!

4. Not gonna happen in Colorado. That's for sure.

"I'm not going to tell him. Are you gonna tell him?"
No, I'm not gonna tell him, YOU tell him.
"No way. Let's get Bianca! she's not afraid."



Um, guys? Guys? GUYS! Hey! Over here! What the hell are you doing? The screen is BEHIND you!

8. I think Jeb was naming his penis

His imaginary sword, Chang. I hear some guys do that.

6. His progression is merely to a stagger

and events will keep him there.

7. Bush never could...

...swagger. He always screamed "Wacko! Drunk!" to me.

And all this talk about him "falling off the wagon..." what I want to know is, When was he ever ON the wagon?? :shrug:

9. They couldn't teach a monkey how to walk like a man.

Swagger was the best they could do. He must be back on all fours again. Poor beast.

10. Can you say, "Toast"?

It's too late.
All America now sees the Boy King for what he is.
The turning away has begun.
They cannot stop it now.
The power grab is failing.
They are killing themselves with self-inflicted wounds.
Their time is short.
