apparently, there are things they don't tell the president

[mopaul]

like the facts. it was obvious to me from the very beginning that jr. would be a 'deligater', rather than a hands on leader. he is the least qualified, and least motivated president in our history.
turns out they keep things from him, like incoming attacks, and unemployment, and negative news.

he said, "i don't read newspapers', and, 'i don't do nuance', (actual quotes), and these are the words the alcoholic lives by.
that's been the arrangement from the very beginning. daddybush fucked up his term and wasn't re-elected, lost to a lousy arkansas liberal no one ever heard of. it was a bitter 8 years for daddybush, and he began planning for his firstborn to take the helm, with sr. in charge, and jr. playing dressup and pretending to be a great leader.

so.....if it's true that bush jr. is utterly clueless and deliberately ignorant of the very things he's supposed to be working on, he's a total incompetent, and must be removed.

a goddamned president, like the captain of a ship, should know every job, every nuance of the ins and outs of government, and foreign affairs, and must be an excellent speaker and communicator. in short, a president must be better than the rest of us, a leader, with a sharp mind and iron will.

but jr. is utterly unqualified to be the leader at the helm in this urgent period. daddybush's evil toadies are taking over the globe, and jr. is merely the retarded prince figurehead who makes the public appearences.

the simple fact that jr. has no clue what's going on in the world, and that he is blissfully ignorant of what a president is supposed to do. this makes him the perfect candidate for impeachment and removal.

jr., if you step down now, perhaps you won't go to prison.

2. I think they wanted Jeb to be pres.

The plan went awry when Jeb lost the FL governor's race to Chiles.

3. All presidents know what's going on in their administrations, if only...

...in general terms on some issues. The idea is to give the president "plausible deniability" if something goes wrong.

And by using the term "president", I am including only those presidents that were legally elected. I'm assuming that the NeoCon Junta works in a similar fashion with quite a bit more secrecy.

IMHO, Junior has known exactly what's been going on from the day he began squatting in the White House.

6. You got it. "Plausible Deniability" is the key.

It's the reason we got the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the 70's ... an Act that's been repeatedly gutted by the corporatist oligarchs ever since.

This is a very well-established practice in corporations. Nothing in writing and no 'official' chain of command where covert corporate operations are initiated. All published management controls are circumvented. I worked for a company where there was a 'specialist' in the IT department who did "special projects" for the executives - typically "cooking the books." All direction was verbal and "off the record." The executives were engaged in stock fraud to the tune of perhaps $250 million just as far as principals were concerned. That doesn't count the degree to which the investment bank (a founding partner of which was on the Board) was able to time its portfolio transactions. This was such a common practice in their industry that they got sloppy ... and some smoking gun memos with marginal notes came into my possession. (It made my life "interesting" for many years.)

4. Whether W was selected or elected

he is still the friggin' COMMANDER IN CHIEF and he has been guilty of deriliction of duty numerous times since he took power. Has a result of his deriliction of duty 3000 people were killed in just one day.


Now tell me again, why is this dipshit still in power or at the least facing impeachment? Of that's right, he didn't have sex with a WH intern.

5. bushsucks* doesn't even know where his ass is

His advisers told him it was behind him, but when he turned around it wasn't there.
