1. funny, but false
Yuk yuk. Nostradamus wrote a lot of stuff so general (and obscure) that with the help of a little imagination (and some liberal interpretations from the original French), people have claimed he has "predicted" nearly every event of significance since the mid-16th century. But nothing in his writings comes close to the quatrain quoted above, even when translated by a first-year French student. This is just another bit of election year humor.

4. Doubly false, because Nostradamus never wrote this in the first place

3. You are right, Native.
Nostradamus did have a few things to say about our Dear leader. Not the quatrain that you quote, however.

There is one quatrain which refers to "le dubieux" the "dubious" one. O course, it works well when you consider that Bush is known as "dubya". Scary, spooky.

I've been reading other prophecies to see if there are any references to Bush. Check out this one (from St. Odilia, 720 B.C.)

"There will come a time, when war will break out, more terrible than all other wars combined, which have ever visited mankind. A horrible warrior will unleash it, and his adversaries will call him the AntiChrist. All nations of the earth will fight each other in this war. Oceans will lie between the great warriors, and the monsters of the sea, terrified by everything that happens on or under the sea, will flee to the deep. Battles of the past will only be skirmishes compared to the battles that will take place, because the earth will be red..."

5. what quatrain is that?
It can't be referring to Dubya, he's no warrior. However, it looks interesting.

6. And this quatrain,
As the balding fat one in drunken stupor shall shoot his legal eagle mistaking him for a former featherweight Vice-President and then hide in a closet singing to him self I shot the sheriff but not the deputy too.
