Bush interviews for a book??????????

[Joe Bacon]

My goodness, after reading this Screw York Times piece, I'm just shocked. They still don't get it. I look at bush and see a skull that's half-empty, yet they praise the same skull for being half full...

In his nearly seven years as president, Mr. Bush has rarely let his guard down with journalists to reveal much of his personal side. But over the course of six roughly hourlong interviews with Mr. Draper, Mr. Bush shared his inner life at the White House. He at times mused philosophically and introspectively, and at others spoke forcefully about his confidence in his own decisions.

In the immortal words of Jonathan Harris, "We're doomed!"...

1. First post ever...

Being "the decider" is a lonely, thankless job... who would've guessed. :nopity:

What's this "freedom agenda" business? I haven't heard of it before.
(I'm new here, sorry if this is an ignorant question)

6. not an ignorant question- as for "the decider" bit--nobody MADE him the decider, he simply chose to

anoint himself as such.

7. I am the decider...

yeah, the day he said that I considered seeing if Canada would take political refugees. When your president starts talking like your three year old, it's time to cry yourself to sleep. Gees, I'm worried about the freedom agenda they were talking about in the article... what on Earth could a freedom agenda be? I just hope it doesn't involve, well, anything important really. I mean, I know it's just "rumors on the Internets" and all, but all the same, the term "freedom agenda" creeps me out.

Thanks for the welcome =)

3. his moments of self pity

In the same interview, Mr. Bush seemed to indicate that he had his down moments at home, saying of his wife, Laura, “Back to the self-pity point — she reminds me that I decided to do this.”



He feels sorry for himself, what does he think we feel after 7 years of his stolen presidency.

4. HALF-empty? That IS the optimistic view!
