Has Bu$h got it in him to say ..."I'm sorry"?
Is it possible in his own selfish way to say to the people..."I'm sorry, I should have done more"?

4. No. He is incapable of taking responsibility
In addition, I believe he is incapable of firing anyone he has appointed because that would also make him look like a failure.

He has an ego the size of Alaska.

7. Does he see any harm in what he did?
I don't think he's capable of basic human empathy.

8. Nope, remember his attempt to use the old saw...
fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. He COULD NOT say the 'shame on me' part and struggled to find something to replace it. It was very revealing, imo.

9. No - not a prayer
he would come completely undone in a way that would make Nixon raging about his mother being a saint seem calm and detached. His entire being is predicated on his following his gut instincts (or god's will) introduce the idea that he could be wrong and his psyche will collapse like the levees did and his mind would be flooded all the guilt and shame and self loathing that he's been pushing back all these years. He'd drop to the ground like a rag doll, roll into a fetal position and whimper. Not that I would mind seeing that happen it's just ain't gonna happen. Someone else must be to blame.

12. No. Anyway he needs to say,
"I'm sorry I stole two presidential elections. I'm a crooked incompetent, and I don't know shit from Shineola when it comes to running a company, to say nothing of managing what used to be a great nation before I got my hands on it."

13. Remember the press conference where he struggled for 2 minutes
to find something he might have done wrong? It's psychologically impossible for him to admit to a mistake, much less consider apologizing.

14. he said that the federal response was "not adequate"
which for the rest of us is akin to "it's all my fault, please throw rocks at me."
