As I have written before, I don't like Bush and I don't think he makes a good president.  But I feel this way, not because I think he is stupid or a bad person, but because I think he is too obsessed with certain issues, one of them being Iraq.  He often say stupid things by mistake but sounding stupid doesn't mean he is stupid.  How can he be stupid yet smart enough to fool hundreds of millions of Americans about WMD in Iraq?

Stupefying Bush is not that different from dehumanizing our enemies.  He talks stupid so he must be an idiot.  Since he is an idiot, everything he say or does is stupid.  So on and so forth.  IMHO, there is nothing wrong with being stupid (remember Forest Gump?) as long as the stupid person's mistakes does not jeopardize rest of us.

Bush is such a position so whether he is stupid or not matters.  I don't think Bush is stupid.  I also don't think he is bad or corrupted.  But he is obsessed, unbalanced, and careless.  Not exactly what I am looking for in my president.

He is a man who seems to be drowning in his ideals and obsessions, a man whose unbalanced views, priorities and careless waving of the national security flag have trickled down the hierarchy of the US government and armed forces, creating pockets of atmosphere that disregards civil and human rights.

If the President of United States openly expresses anger toward specific races or nationalities, how long do you think it will take for the 'attitutde' to reach the INS employees at US border or soldiers in Iraq?  IMHO, it takes just hours to mere days.  With such winds of bias blowing constantly over 4 years, how many can escape from being influenced by the President desires and biases?  Not very many, I think.
