I'm really beginning to believe that bush* is stupid.
You know I don't want to think that MY president is not bright. It goes against all my hopes and dreams. But I grew up listening to Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Ford, Reagan, Bush and Clinton and they all could talk. They all could conduct themselves in front of a camera and connect with people. This shit-for-brains president just boggles my mind and corrupts my opinion of our nation. If we (them) re-elect this asshole all I can say is we must deserve it. (sorry for the rant)

2. I watched him as owner of the Rangers. I can promise you he's stupid
It amazes me that the press doesn't report it that way, that they don't start every passage with "Our dumb-ass excuse for a president today tried to say..."

That they don't report him as stupid is the biggest proof that they are intentionally biased. To treat him as though he has ever said or done anything non-stupid is to lie.

10. I think after November
It's going to also be synonymous with one-term loser!!! (If votes are counted properly anyway).

4. *sob* I've been saying that for years!
And I have a little story for you about * and intelligence.

Here's the punchline, in 2001 pre-9/11, his supporters (in my office) felt he was a dummy as well!

I was in the break lounge having a smoke (I work as a computer technician in a trading firm and EVERYBODY smokes) in January and a few of the traders there were sitting around talking about *'s cabinet choices and one guy said (I'll never forget this quote, although this guy was just parroting the repuke line)

"At least he's smart enough to surround himself with good people."

I just laughed out loud, subbed my cig out in their ashtray (they were at a different table) and walked out saying "you'll rue those words..."

5. i tell boys, he is proud he does not read
that says something about a person

reported he was a c student, so my guess really a d- student

not someone i am looking to run my country

oh ya, a lifetime of lazy, never learning how to work either, so lazy and dumb.

i am going ot hold with dumb. stupid feels more innate, dumb feels more he had a brain just never used or worked it

8. As Forest Gump said
"Stupid is as stupid does" so I guess I'd have to agree, he is REALLY stupid. Its embarrassing, depressing and enraging to watch him try to speak. I believe he has the vocabulary of a 5th grader. He is beyond stupid though, he lies without conscience. Did anyone catch his lie about the 70 FBI offices looking into the terrorists before 9-11? He made that statement, then a reporter asked a question and said that number was probably very inflated and bush said, yes, I heard that earlier today. Then WTF did he repeat it if he knew it was wrong! Agggh!1

16. Yes and
Edited on Wed Apr-14-04 11:12 PM by soflalady
Why the heck didn't he know the figure (70) was wrong in August 2001? He didn't follow-up; he was on vacation.

The press didn't have enough follow-up questions last night. I don't care if he's sorry either - questions about being sorry or admitting mistakes were useless, except they showed how arrogant he is. We all have lots of other questions.

11. Unfortunately, he is stupid. I'm amazed at how others can see
the same person and think he was great though like some of the Hannity callers calling in tonight. I was painting and thought I'd turn on the radio (I don't get Air America on the radio here otherwise I would be listening to that but I like to check in once in a while with RW radio programs to see what they're up to). I could only listen to the "Insanity" program for 20 minutes before I had to turn the radio off. Sickening the people calling in their support for Bush and praising his performance at the press conference. It was very disheartening. How can it be that this man is seen so extremely differently by one group as opposed to another?

18. Stupid and arrogant.
I didn't vote for him and neither did a few million other people. In fact,he lost the popular vote. This guy wouldn't get a job as mgr. of a local fast food joint, unless his poppy bribed them to hire him.

13. Last night's press conference proves it to me...
As much as I despise everything he has done and said during his presidency I found myself cringing out of embarassment during his numerous umms and ahhs and errs...I thought he was pathetic and practically incoherent last night...It was hard to watch this miserable failure try to ...do what exactly? Accomodate his millenial followers that all is ok , the rapture is on-track, just let me continue? How can anybody provide a positive spin on such a pathetic performance? It is so obvious this guy is so incompetent! By comparison he elevates Rios Montt to Eisenhower status!

So disgusted...

14. I think he has brain damage from drinking....
He clearly has a cognitive problem. He can't get a simple, coherent
sentence out of his mouth. I've never seen anyone so inarticulate.

20. he may be stupid, but the people pulling the strings are not
and too make matters worse they are greedy and evil.

i want to put people to work. nice statement. question? who do you want them to work for. shrub et al want us all working for them.
that is not the America i stand for.

trouble is they got most people working, like conan tied to that millstone, so hard to live that the masses barely have time to look up.

wake up -------vote
