George W. Bush in Black and White

I wonder if it’s in his voice..., but when the President “Dubya” speaks, I feel a rage build up inside me that, if I could somehow harness it in a superhero sort of way, could easily destroy a city block, like the authentic comic book version of The Incredible Hulk once did. And I find myself wondering, does he sincerely believe what he’s saying, or is he aware that he’s just up there spewing lies like projectile vomit? He MUST know, because if he doesn’t, he’s got denial on level with O.J. Simpson.

George W. Bush is the first time in my life where a President has actually frightened me. I’m sure if I was old enough to understand (and really care), Reagan would have done just the same. But there’s this fervor in Bush, this kind of self-righteous indignation that can only be matched by religious zealotry, a la The Crusades or the Spanish Inquisition. Living abroad I came to love my country, but also became rather ashamed of its leaders. I really fear him being re-elected. I need to get a damn job so I can know when I can volunteer. I guess because I don’t want to complain about being afraid of Bush being re-elected and then doing nothing but casting my one vote for (as of this moment) John Edwards.

I miss Clinton. I really really miss Clinton. I think he was a super intelligent guy in all the right ways. He loved to bask in the limelight like a California teenage in sunlight, but any Presidential candidate who says s/he isn’t a little bit of a limelight lover is a complete and total liar, no matter how much “good” you want to do for the country. I was thinking of his Gladiator-like entrance at his last State of the Union. How he just loved speaking to everyone. I watch Dubya and I don’t see that light, I don’t hear that intelligence. He’s not angry so much as Dean is “angry” (whatever), he just seems like someone out for blood, who sees the world entirely in black and white. Dubya is the closest thing we could have to a theocracy, in my opinion. I hope that makes sense (see previous comments on Inquisition, etc.), but it’s true.
