The Unfeeling President

[Locut0s]

I'm guessing this is a repost, but hopefully not a recent one. Anyway here is a great 'must read' article I was just sent on Bush, the administration, and the mess we are in:

1. W has no depth, feels no pain, a child of complete luxury

He is more comfortable housing a Saudi Prince in his private ranch than he is in town hall meetings.

He was born in Connecticut and lived a total life of privilege. He has no connect with the working class and even shows a disdain for them.

4. I don't think he can use the excuse of having lived a life of privilege

We've had a lot of great leaders (FDR, the Kennedy's to name a few) who grew up in relative wealth, but who still had (or have) great empathy for the common man. Jr.'s problem goes way beyond his life of ease.

3. W has zero connect with any working American

But he loves those Saudis visiting his Prairie Chapel ranch.
That ME oil money has serviced him and his family well. He fully appreciates his buds.

5. Comparing Bush to almost any American leader in the past..

is a useless exercise.

6. W....

The privileged bully boy who never heard the word NO.

9. Unfeeling? Agree.

But it's because he's greedy and corrupt and surrounds himself with equally greedy and corrupt people.
