Do you think President Bush is genuine but sounds frustrated & whiny when he speaks publicly?

people like to call him a dummy and an idiot. But no one gets to be President of this great nation being one of those.  He is a very intelligent man.  Hes very down to earth when he speaks and doesnt pronouce the word "nuclear" right.  But people try to find fault with the stupidest thigngs.

I love how the best that most people can come up with is that he is dumb or stupid..............at least if you are going to take a position know why.  I don't agree with everything that George Bush has done.  I hate that he can't admit that we have been in Iraq for way too long or that our budget is in a major state of crisis, however, I think that he has lead this country in a direction that he though was right and that he has lead this country through some of the hardest times that we have ever had.....and if you hate President Bush so much, than maybe you will get passionate about your right to vote.

I don't agree with Bush and his actions, but being from Texas, I think he is just being himself. You can hate Bush for many reasons, but surely you can't hate him for being himself.

YES HE IS!! And for the person who said Bush is a loser, get a life. He is the president show some respect and besides is isn't getting out of office yet! Kanye seems like he is trying to do everything for show. He's not great, hopefully he will be forgotten. He's cocky and I don't know why! when he doesn't when an award he starts complaining and whining. Its like be a man and congratulate the person who did win. He is an un-educated man and he makes black people look bad! and the sad part is his mother is a college professor.\nPLEASE PEOPLE RACE IS NOT AS BIG AS PEOPLE MAKE IT OUT TO BE!!  (im not white.)

Of course he spoke the truth; did he say stupid people are in Iraq?  NO!  That's why the Bush people ae so upset.  The truth hurts.

I dont have an opinion of him. I do think he has surrounded himself with people that are way to close to him which has hurt thier ability to offer him un-biased insight. i.e George Tenet, Dick Cheney, Harriet Myers, Karl Rove. It would be like if you got elected president and you made all your Fraternity Brothers and all your High School buddies your top advisers, I mean how much do you think is really gonna get done? I have heard that he will not fire anyone he is to afraid of what they might think of him. It goes all the way back to his days as a Texas oil tycoon. His heart is in the right place, he thinks what he is doing is the right thing and once he makes up his mind your are not changing in it cause he thinks hes right, you gotta respect that whether or not you agree with him it is an admirable quality. But the bottom line............you cant impeach someone for being a dumb@ss thats the only crime hes guilty of.\n\n\nIm pretty much Independent when it comes to politics but i am so sick of hearing the Left WIng Loons talk about impeachment and what a horrible job the President has done and how Iraq is a mess. Maybe those things are true but they havent brought one positive idea to the table...........not one. Whats the Democrats plan? I havent heard one except wave the white flag and run home and impeach the president...........I mean come on is that the best you can do, what are we paying these people for?\n\n\nAs far as the Wiretapping goes. There are 2 kinds of people in this world now. You either live in a pre-9-11 mentality or a post 9-11 mentality. Quit listening to the bleeding heart media and open your eyes. There are people who want to destroy us and if running some wiretaps and some other clandestine stuff is gonna keep me alive and not speaking Arabic, then im all for it. Bush is trying to keep us safe.........I dont really like him i think hes kinda of an idiot myself, but hes trying cut the man some slack. He got dealt a raw deal by being in the chair when 9-11 happend and hes responding the best way he knows how.

I don't think ole Georgie boy realizes that he has fallen so far. That our country is a total mess because he is only allow to hear certain things inside that little bubble he lives in at the White House. He is so completely sheltered from any opposition point of view that I think he truly believes everyone is with him, and we all can't wait to see what amazing trick he's going to do next. That is why he constantly has that "Hey, I said it so it is true, period, end." mentality. That is the way it works for him inside the walls of the white house. He has no clue how it works if it's not being "handled" or "spun". So yes I think he is happy because ignorance is bliss. He's sooooo blissfully happy he is nearly comatose.

I'm certainly sick of it. I have a sign on my front door for all to see. It is a picture of  Uncle Sam, only he looks like he's insane. Beside his picture it says "Mr. Bush, I really getting pissed off at what you are doing to my country!" I think that pretty well says it all.

No Bush is not an intellectual and the words shouldn't be used in the same sentence without a major asterik or footnote to explain why they appear in proximity.\n\nTo watch and listen to the man talk gives it all away.  He appears very uncomfortable with any statement he makes and afterwards seems to breathe a sigh of relief that he was able to cobble a noun and verb together in a sentence.  He is tense the whole time and then smirks if he is able to mutter some repetitive dogma that the venom-breathing religous zealots in congress want to hear him say.\n\nSo, to sum it up: a smirking, illiterate, uncomfortable-in-public president can never count as an intellectual. His intellect and over-compensating mannerisms are usually found in a dry cleaner owner who you don't really enjoy going to; or a golf caddy that you wish you were not stuck with; or even a gas station mechanic that you want to trust but for some reason just can't.  But an intellectual?  Never in a mega-million years.  \n\nYou just gave me a great idea for a question.  If GWB weren't born to a wealthy, political and connected family and based on his personality and intellect, what job could you see him performing and why?  Would he be good at it?  Would you like to work with him?  If so, why?  What do you think you could gain from your association with him?  Could you trust him to work independently?  How do you think he would get along with his coworkers?

>>You have got to be able to tell when he is lieing, it is a easy little trick that I have learned. Any time that his lips are moving he is lieing.\n\nHa! Works like a charm.\n\n\n\nBut yeah, it looks like Bush was notified beforehand, but failed to act on it.\n\nhttp://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/01/katrina/main1361404_page2.shtml

Actually Im mixed on the issue. Im more conservative on things, but he didnt really say anything too out there. On the other hand, if he was completely unbiased, hed have said things in favor of the current administation and it appears hes only throwing out anti bush, anti american sentiment. Id have to hear more of his lectures to know.

I am not a fan. I think a President ought to be able to think and speak without someone telling him what to say. Talk about having a puppet.

I think it's because he knows his talk is all BS! Or maybe he really doesn't know what he's talking about! His expressions make him look very incompetent.

Just goes to proove you cannot always trust what politicians say. Just about everyone knows Mr Bush has a college education. People tend to say funny and sometimes outright insulting things about him becausse he is KNOWN for having problems with his delivery when speaking. Would you feel a little nervous when speaking, knowing the entire WORLD  will be watching??\nI do NOT agree with our President on many issues either. What really cracks me us is the fact that years ago there was a law on the books that prevented canidates from "verbaly bashing" one another. The law changed over 20 years ago and ever since the feathers have fown! It is human nature to say something you mean the opposite of under pressure. I have done it at work and caught myself and actually caused a chain reaction one time -- people started saying the opposite the rest of the day one time. Can be fustrating. Bush has a lot of verbal funnies. Karry needs to look in the mirror. He has said things he later regretted. Kerry is known for talking for hours at a time without any content! JFK was a "C" (average student) but known to be a great pres. I think problem solving & listening are more important skill to posess if you are to be president than "pillow fighting".

THIS WHAT LEADING PSYCHIATRISTS SAY ABOUT BUSH!!"He's a very angry guy, a hostile guy," Miller says. "He's much like Nixon. So they're very, very careful to choreograph every move he makes. They don't want him anywhere near protesters, because he would lose his temper." Adds this media expert, "It would be a grave mistake to just play him for laughs."This personality is preoccupied with fantasies of power and being loved. Such a person requires "automatic compliance". He or she is "exploitative" of others, "lacks empathy, is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others." And also "shows arrogant, haughty behavior or attitudes.I can only point out that published medical evidence goes frighteningly far in explaining GW's behavior. For certain, this good ol' boy should go in for a brain scan before being allowed to command more firepower than the next 11 nations combined. If George W. Bush is not crazy --- he's sure acting like it.

I think Bush is a great guy, just lacking the wisdom necessary for being the president.\n\nHe spends money like a teenager with her parents' credit card trying to impress her friends.\n\nHe cherry-picked info to come up with the conclusion he wanted. (WMD's)\n\nHe made very poor decision for appointments (FEMA's Brown)\n\nHis poor communication skills are no match for combatting the liberal media. (And he's has given them a lot of ammunition)\n\nHey, Shepherd - No president has much control over economics.  What little they can do has little or no immediate effect.
