Just Homerun04's take on things.....

1. Going to Iraq WAS the right thing to do, and I beleive Saddam had WMD but they destroyed/dismembered them before we got there. I also beleive Saddam was an immenent threat to the safety of the US

2. The problem is that Bush comes off as an arrogant little ass**** and anytime someone comes off that way people are always just waiting for them to trip up a little bit so they can jump all over him. If George H. And Babs would have done a better job of raising George W. as a child to have a little more humility, sincerity and "well wishing" intent, no one would be questioning him right now.

Bush's problems are being manufactured by Bush himself - based on serious personality flaws IMO. Then again, Daddy Bush and Barbara were too busy trying to make a name for themselves to have ever spent anytime (nor cared) about raising a child with decency, honesty and good-intents in mind. This should serve as a great example of what happens when parents put their own selfish, self-centered ambitions above the well-being and care of their children.

Is it me, or does Bush never seem "comfortable" when you see him on TV or hear him speak. He always seems to be "tight" or "stiff". I do not think he feels comfortable being the President of the US. I get the impression he is acting in a way he thinks the President of the US is supposed to behave, but not in a way that is comfortable for him. In other words, I think he himself doubts wether he is Presidential material or not - whatever that might be. I think he lacks self-confidence that he is man enough for the job - and this often times comes as a result of a lifetime of being spoon-fed success because of your family's heritage, money, influence, etc. Go talk to ANY child of a successful self-made man who is trying to follow in their Dad's footsteps, buy them a few beers, and you'll usually discover that MANY of them doubt whether they are up to the task of following their Dad's legacy.

Enough said. And I am neither a republican nor a democratic. They both make me sick.
