What is it with these Bush's? They hijack our government and use our tax dollars for the benefit of their rich friends. Both created their own oligarchy, operated out of the White House, and I think they consider themselves akin to royalty. I don't imagine W. Bush has half of the respect for us as his father G.W. demonstrated by repeatedly checking his watch during his debate with Bill Clinton. They despise accountability. They have nothing but contempt for anyone who questions their motives and prerogatives. The amazing thing is that they imagine that we should share their elevated view of their own importance.
Bush revealed his true feelings about our role in his affairs with his scowls and exasperated frowns as John Kerry spoke.
"Osama bin Laden doesn't get to decide." he scowled at Kerry. "The American people decide."
Then Bush, perhaps recalling that the 'American people' overwhelmingly disagree with his decisions on Iraq, reverted to his royal self as he defended his decision to go to war.
"I decided the right action was in Iraq. My opponent calls it a mistake. It wasn't a mistake."
Don't expect Bush to acknowledge any view that doesn't comport with his own narrow vision. I fully expect him to continue his blustering defense of the neocon cabal's agenda that he has wrapped himself in, even after all watching proclaim this appointed emperor to be completely naked.
"So now the Emperor walked under his high canopy in the midst of the procession, through the streets of his capital; and all the people standing by, and those at the windows, cried out, "Oh! How beautiful are our Emperor's new clothes! What a magnificent train there is to the mantle; and how gracefully the scarf hangs!" in short, no one would allow that he could not see these much-admired clothes; because, in doing so, he would have declared himself either a simpleton or unfit for his office. Certainly, none of the Emperor's various suits, had ever made so great an impression, as these invisible ones.
"But the Emperor has nothing at all on!" said a little child.
"Listen to the voice of innocence!" exclaimed his father; and what the child had said was whispered from one to another.
"But he has nothing at all on!" at last cried out all the people. The Emperor was vexed, for he knew that the people were right; but he thought the procession must go on now! And the lords of the bedchamber took greater pains than ever, to appear holding up a train, although, in reality, there was no train to hold.
