Political stuff

[kellinator]

Even if you like George W. Bush, I fail to see how any American can feel good about this:

"Asked last week what he thought of the size of the antiwar demonstrations, the President scoffed that worrying about that would be like 'deciding, well, I'm going to decide policy based on a focus group. The role of a leader is to decide policy based upon the security -- in this case, the security of the people.'" -- Time, March 3, 2003

People, when he talks about how he'd like to be dictator -- he's not joking.

That quote would crack me up if the future of my beloved country weren't at stake. Because he is such a fucking idiot--that's why corporations have focus groups, so they can make decisions that people like. Moron. I thought he at least understood the basic way a company is run. Apparently, I was giving him too much credit (which is scary).

Alas, we're speaking of a man who is our President due to judicial intervention, rather than due to popular vote. Who knows what deleterious effect that's had on his respect for "we the people"...? :-(

Let's just impeach the sonofabitch!
