Lost in the Fog With Commander Guy

Is George W. Bush even trying to make sense anymore?

On Wednesday, speaking to the Associated General Contractors of America, Bush gave himself a new nickname. Responding to a question from the audience, he asked rhetorically whether "the Congress or the commanders" should decide how many U.S. troops are needed in Iraq.

"And as you know," he went on, "my position is clear -- I'm the Commander Guy."

That leaves me somewhat confused. If he's now the Commander Guy, does that mean I have to stop calling him The Decider? Or does he spend some days deciding and other days commanding?

Maybe there were further clues to the president's decision-making style in the rambling talk he gave a couple of weeks ago at Tippecanoe High School in Tipp City, Ohio. He recalled that just before his inauguration in 2001, the head usher at the White House called and asked what color rug he wanted in the Oval Office. He delegated the task of designing a new presidential rug to his wife, Laura.

1. He'll always be the Decider, regardless of anything he says now.

But to spice it up a bit you can call him "Chuckle-nut's" like Mike Malloy does. Or "Incurious George", that's my favorite.

2. Priceless! Thanks, recommended of course. n/t

Yes it's stupid but the underlying point he was trying to make was lost.

Politicians or commanders make the decision. He puts himself in the Commander column which is incorrect. He is a politician and the Commander in Chief is a CIVILIAN position. He thinks he's military or at least implying that he is and that should send giant alerts.

They, The Congress, should pounce on this because it comes very close to sounding like he is a military dictator (they like to say Executive)and that is TREASONOUS. It shows how little he understands what is going on. But they'll let it slide and behave. :eyes:
