Has Bush proven that we don't even need a President?
He himself is obviously not the president, but the shitty spokesman for the committee that is actually running the government.

So do we really even need the office of president anymore? It would be nice to have a real one at least.

9. Exactly! We desperately NEED a Genuine President.

What's sitting in the White House is no President.

The disastrous state in which we find ourselves and the chaos in the Middle East is absolute proof of what happens when we lack one.

2. Ronald Reagan proved that, IMHO.
The repukes learned how to make it look like
there was a president, and before that they
learned how to make it look like America
actually elected him.

8. Agreed, Reagan was the first example of a figurehead president.
All a giant hoax.

5. On the bright side
he's such a bumbling, awkward, intellectually challenged Pres it's kinda funny, if it weren't so embarassing for America.

I know Bush supporters despise intellectuals - no wonder why they love Bush so much.

Stupid is as stupid does.

10. He has demonstrated that the worst installation in history can certainly
fuck things up. Yes we need a President and no he's not one.

11. He IS being a president.
Unfortunately, he's been a dunce for the last six years....including taking advice and orders from the wrong people.

It all boils down to the fact that we have a stubborn and disaster-prone president with no grasp of the complexities of the world. And the world is going down the shute as a result.
