George Bush is "everyman".. We can all "relate" to him..

[SoCalDem]

Every family in the USA has "one like him".. He's the goofball nephew who can't hold a job, gets his car repossessed regularly, has screwed up everything he has ever attempted..

He's the spacy brother in law who "crashes" every business he tries to operate, and asks your sister to see if you could loan them a little bit of money, til they "get back on their feet"..

He's the lazy little brother who wraps Mom around his little finger.. He fails at everything, yet she has a soft spot for him, while she "expects" you to do well, as she excuses his every bungled adventure..

He's the abusive boyfriend/husband who maxxes out your credit cards,puts you into bankruptcy and treats you like crap, but professes his undying love..and promises that he has changed , and you are the "most important thing in his life"..

He's the teenaged son who has a wild party while you are out of town (even though he promised not to), and empties your bank account with your ATM card, wrecks the car, and trashes the house, then cries and says he's sorry, and asks YOU to clean up the mess, because he has better things to do..

We all "know" him...or we know one side of him.. These people can be charming, but they are hazardous to our health and well-being. They never take responsibility for THEIR actions, yet they expect others to bail them out, time after time. They never learn from their mistakes..

George Bush is a dangerous man. We cannot continue to enable him..

He has to GO.

1. The spacey brother-in-law actually sounds a lot like me.....

But don't worry, if nominated, I will not run.

If elected, I will not serve.

2. ya, every man's dark side

like the family member no one wants to invite along.

Maybe the family should have stuck with George and got him some help long ago, instead of dumping him on the world.
The Bush Family should take care of their own, so the rest of the world doesn't have to.
I think there is a duty by every family that puts one of their own blood into the world. Many families who write these problematic members off are shirking their duties and contributing to societies aches and pains.
Many families should see that they get some help and that the "help" their getting is working positively.

Instead, many families cannot face the fact that one of their own needs some intervention, feeling that it reflects on them personally. They would rather have these wounded ones simply out-of-sight-out-of-mind.
They need to put some effort into caring for their own. It helps break the cycle of dysfunction.
Most would rather shake their heads and turn their backs.

But then MOST families with a member of their own, with the problems George has, wouldn't happily prop him up for the Office of President of the USA, either.
