If a foreign power had succeeded in creating a Manchurian candidate

and had succeeded in getting that candidate elected,

What would that Manchurian candidate do differently than what George W. Bush has done to the country?

1. here is a better question
would a manchurian candidate been able to do all the stuff that GW has done? Or do you think he would have been impeached by now.

2. Seriously
You know how many of us have a cognitive processing rule that whenever he says something one should assume the opposite is true? Well I think that is more true than any of us are able to fully imagine right now.

Even something as simple as "they hate America". That tells me he hates America. and so on

4. O is probably not a mancurian candidate, but the suspician will be raised in enough people's minds
that it could make him unelectable.
