Bush's Bad Attitude

[InfoMinister]

Well, we know that France was going to help us out and have 10,000 troops in Iraq but that fell through. We see that other people are dropping out of the coalition. We see that Bush doesn't seem to take criticism very well from the debate with Kerry. We've seen interviews with advisers where papers were sent back with "Wrong answer" if it said Iraq wasn't involved in 9/11. I even read an article in a magazine(I'm trying to find it on the web right now. Otherwise, I'm going to have to look through magazines when I go to the doctor's office) that was about Karl Rove and talked about how Bush would yell at Rove if things weren't going his way. Do you feel it's all related and Bush has this attitude toward everyone around him that is dangerous to the future of this country? Bush talks about Kerry's comments about the international community. It seems like Bush has been doing a heck of a lot more to alienate everyone than Kerry.

BTW, does anyone know what magazine that article was in? I've been searching and I can't find it anywhere. It was either Newsweek or Time Magazine. In the last two months. It has Bush on the cover. It talks about Rove when he was younger and some of the right wing college groups he was in, his personal beliefs, etc. as well as how the Bush administration tried to play down the "Bush's Brain" thing.

1. An Interview "Let Me Finish!"

Well, the "Let me finish," line has been used before. During this interview he probably said it about 10 times when the reporter was trying to ask questions.

2. "Wrong Answer" sounds like the situation in Paul O'Neill's book

(written by Ron Suskind, actually)

Early on, O'Neill was asked to come up with reasons to invade Iraq, and after doing the research and finding nothing, Bush*s response was to look some more. This was repeated several times, but O'Neill kept coming up with the wrong answer.

3. Clarke and O'Neill Have Said Something About It

I think it was Clarke who said they had meetings in the first few days that the administration moved in about going to war in Iraq. I think he even said something about that "Wrong answer" on the papers along with O'Neill. Could be mistaken. I remember watching both of those interviews that were only a few weeks apart.

4. Clinical Reasons

Am convinced Bush has clinical reasons for his rejection of questioning. He equates questioning with criticism. Look at his history with this situation, at sometime he has had to answer to Mommy, Daddy, instructors, National Guard, girl friends, his wife, employee's (when he bails on business failures. Always has had someone to take of him and cover for his indiscretions.

Nasty reporters, irate voters and that upperclassman dares to question him.

Look up DSM-IV Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
