Am I the only one in the universe to conclude George W. Bush has finally gone insane? What else could explain his decision to promote Josh Bolten, the man in charge of Bush’s budget, to White House Chief of Staff as a confidence-building measure??? What does Bush have in mind — that Americans will cheer to see that the bureaucrat responsible for drawing up record-deficit budgets is now in charge of coordinating all of federal policy?
“Hooray?” I think “Oh, dear” is much more appropriate.
Obviously, Jim, you haven’t learned Newspeak…You know, where “Debt” really means “surplus”, “War” is “Peace”, “Misery” is “happiness”, “up” is “down”….
Yeah, he’s insane alright – criminally insane. He’s the worst president ever by far. If he continues in his greedy, illogical policies over the next few years (with the complicity of congress, of course) America will probably give up its “superpower” (or stupidpower) status and become another impoverished nation. Meanwhile, the environment will probably undermine humanity’s supposed dominance of the planet in the next decade, so it won’t matter anyway – we’re gonna pay big time for the industrial revolution, let alone Bush’s policies. Looks like the Amish were right.
Hey, Bush has always failed upward; why not his aides?
