Do you think Shrub suffers from "I'm not good enough for daddy" problems?

1. He suffers from...

"I will show that old man how it's done" syndrome...

2. Are you kidding?? He has tried to be his daddy in every area of his

life and failed miserably every time, the Oil biz, the Presidency- hell he couldn't even win a war against a weak 3rd world country right.

Also, have you ever seen Pickles and Babs together? They look like Mother and Daughter, so W even married his mommy.

He's pathetic

3. He does do strange things about his father.

It is almost like he puts his father down. I can not really say why I think this but he just will say some thing that sounds that way to me. Maybe he does not like to think he is where he is on his father's name and the things that man did But as a women I may be all wrong on this.

4. remember how his mom put him in charge of keeping his siblings in line

She couldn't be bothered (that "beautiful mind" again?) and Poppy wasn't around. W would yell at Jeb and the others, and even hit them when he thought they were breaking the rules. A child psychologist I know has told me that delegating the disciplining to a youngster is absolutely the wrong thing for a parent to do -- the kid can become confused/resentful and it can set up some major conflicts later. Besides creating the impression that bullying is okay as long as someone "up there" approves of it.

p.s. this would certainly fit with W being contemptuous of his dad and challenging his authority ("you're weak, I'm the real man of the house now!") -- and being overly swayed by his mom's attitudes (in this case, even Richard Nixon noted that Bar Bush could REALLY hold a grudge).


And if W is allowed to win in November, he gets to gloat about how he's put one over on his dad -- and Bush Sr. can't complain about it! So he avenges Poppy's defeat, AND gets to lord it over him, at the same time. Very dangerous. And the possible mental meltdown if he loses won't be pretty either.

5. He is, and always was/will be "Mamas little MeanBoy"

Just like it says in Franken's Lies book.

7. No doubt
