Bush's Beautiful Bubble

After 9/11, George W. Bush grew up--sort of. He didn't make the right decisions but he at least gained the ability to come across as serious. He still mugged the English language more often than a leader should. But he was less the bumbler he was before al Qaeda came along. Yet, over five years later, he has not lost his inner-dolt. See this exchange from Bush's press conference today:

Q: Do you believe it's a civil war, sir?

BUSH: I can only tell me what people on the ground whose judgment--it's hard for me, you know, living in this beautiful White House, to give you a firsthand assessment. I haven't been there. You have. I haven't.

But I do talk to people who are--and people whose judgment I trust--and they would not qualify it as that. There are others who think it is.

It is, however, a dangerous situation, thereby requiring action on my part.

It's back to Bush version 1.0. He cannot answer one of the most fundamental questions about the war he started in Iraq because he's in the "beautiful White House" not walking the streets of bombed-out Baghdad. Talk about being in a bubble. But it's a beautiful bubble.
