If " he " would be that stupid, he would not have made to be the " alpha " of America.
Or do you think he is the " puppet " of the oil industry?
That would be, indeed, black and white.

Hi Patrick,primates become alpha males for a variety of reasons, but often it involves coalitions and alliances, and I would maintain that this is certainly the case for presidential elections. The true test of an alpha animal's success is the duration he (usually) spends at the top of the hierarchy. As such, only time will tell whether Bush has been a successful alpha. Unlike other primates, Bush has been guaranteed 4 years at the top--whether he stays there or not will be determined in the next election.
Is Bush a puppet of the oil industry? I don't know. I was only commenting on his cognitive abilities as I perceive them. I do believe Bush has benefitted greatly because of his alliances and because of his family name. Not an unusual thing at all--same could be said for many of the Kennedys.
And as I said to Victor, I think we're probably not going to convince each other one way or the other, so we'll have to agree to disagree, and move on.

One more word Bob, what you write is true, but also true for every one! Not only for your president!

Yes, he is that simple: a spoiled brat who never grew into a true man; a Puer Aeternus, who will grow straight into a cynic Senex. And these people are extremely dangerous to everybody.Daddy and his buddies bought him the ticket to the WH. And yes, they used oil money for that.

It is this epic we are talking about, not Mr. Bush.PS: If we were talking about him I would say that a president is as good as his administration is. That apply for all modern time presidents. More or less.
But I have seen how Mr. Bush has misbehaved: thatīs why I was talking about him.Regards
