The Ugly Truth: Our President is an Imbecile (248 comments )
READ MORE: George W. Bush, 2006
You know it, I know it and the American people know it. But everyone is afraid to say it. They say it privately, but people are afraid of saying it publicly because you will be branded as a liberal, elite, intellectual snob. But believe me, you don't have to be an intellectual to see how painfully stupid our president is.


Just look at the conversation he is having with world leaders at the G-8 summit. Mikes picked up the causal talk between the world leaders. Forget that Bush appears to have three sandwiches in his mouth while talking. Forget that he calls out to the Prime Minister of Britain as if he is Flounder in "Animal House." Forget that he uses profanity. I don't give a **** about those things.

I thought it was ridiculous that people made fun of George H. W, Bush for vomiting on the Japanese Prime Minister. What was he going to do? He had to puke, so he puked. It happens to the best of us, and more importantly, has nothing to do with his intelligence or how capable he is as a leader.

But his son's verbal vomit does have a lot to do with his ability to lead this country and the world. What I found to be the most damning is the least quoted part of Bush's comments. As you read this transcript, remember that this is not a small child talking, but the President of the United States of America:

The camera is focused elsewhere and it is not clear whom Bush is talking to, but possibly Chinese President Hu Jintao, a guest at the summit.
Bush: "Gotta go home. Got something to do tonight. Go to the airport, get on the airplane and go home. How about you? Where are you going? Home?

Bush: "This is your neighborhood. It doesn't take you long to get home. How long does it take you to get home?"

Reply is inaudible.

Bush: "Eight hours? Me too. Russia's a big country and you're a big country."

At this point, the president seems to bring someone else into the conversation.

Bush: "It takes him eight hours to fly home."

He turns his attention to a server.

Bush: "No, Diet Coke, Diet Coke."

He turns back to whomever he was talking with.

Bush: "It takes him eight hours to fly home. Eight hours. Russia's big and so is China."


Russia's big and so is China??????? This guys sounds like a third grader. Do you know anyone who would have a conversation like this with their neighbor, let alone a business associate, let alone a world leader? Who's proud to know that Russia is big and so is China?

Can anyone now credibly claim that Bush is secretly working on a master plan behind the scenes and that he's just playing cowboy for the cameras? I hope the master plan doesn't involve figuring out how long it takes to get to China.

If someone is this ignorant, they're usually embarrassed and try not to talk much. But this guy is so dumb he has no idea how dumb he is. This sounds like a conversation you might have with a child, a mentally challenged child. Johnny, do you know how big Russia is? How about China?

This would all be unfortunate if George was your dentist, or worse yet, your accountant. But he is the leader of the free world. This man makes life or death decisions every day. If you say you're not scared about that, you're lying.

Would you let him do the books for your business? Would you trust your company in his hands for eight years? (No matter how Republican you are, you know you just said no to that question.) Would you trust him to be your kids' guidance counselor and take his advice seriously? If your kids were in the Army and he was their field commander, would you feel good about putting their lives in his hands?

Come on, no one is crazy enough to say yes to that. Yet, he has all of our lives in his hands. The emperor has no clothes. The emperor has no clothes. It's about time someone in the mainstream media said it.

In the old empires, there would be a lot of marriages between the royal families. And from time to time, these inter-family marriages would produce a mentally challenged son who would inherit the throne. This would set the empire back for hundreds of years. I'm not saying anything, I'm just saying. Russia is big and so is China.

The Democrats for a long time have felt embarrassed about pointing out the obvious. The emperor has no brain. This is what I can't understand about the Democrats, they're always playing patty cakes while the Republicans are ripping their face off. John Kerry should have stood at the lectern during the debates and pointed to George Bush and said, "The leader of this country has to be the best and the brightest. If any of you think that he is the best and the brightest America has to offer, go ahead and vote for him!"

The theory is that people would be turned off by that. The theory assumes that people are also idiots and they love their cohorts. That is simply not true. Everyone understands that they have a friend they'd like to go fishing with and a friend they can trust to look after their affairs - and they're not necessarily the same guy. And that your fishing buddy might not be a great choice for President of the United States of America.

Kerry should have embarrassed Bush, made people feel sorry for him. It would have hurt in the short run and given him a temporary downward blip in the numbers, but in the end, when people went into that voting booth, they would have felt pity for Bush - in that scenario, Kerry wins easily. Nobody votes for someone they pity.

Unfortunately, right now we are in the position of being pitied by the rest of the world. We have third grader for a President. And worse yet, the Vice President has him convinced he is the second coming of Winston Churchill. Scared yet?

After hearing Bush's latest round of chatter, I want to cry. I really do. This has to be a nightmare. Tomorrow, I'm going to wake up from this, and Clinton will still be president. This is too surreal to be true.

Read Churchill's speeches and his witticisms. Then read the thoughts of Dubya. The man doesn't come anywhere close to WSC. Let's face it - Churchill had more verbal dexterity and mental acuity in his little finger than Dubya has ever had. Plus he used to be what Dubya derides - a Liberal.
A second Churchill??? Cheney's taking the **** . Not even close!

At the G8, did Bush mean to say, "We have nothing to fear but shi* itself"? Or did he mean to say,"I have nothing to offer but other peoples blood, sweat, tears and my own personal shi* "
It won't go unnoticed in countries that take 8 hours to get to that this feeble-minded sack of shi* is
is ripe for the picking.

It is not only the adjective word which has been told for a president (during US history) but just the reality for now...Surely,there has to be checked out if his imbecileness comes out from his nature or he's just arised by unknown the House of "Imbecile" Lords whom running after to become "Empire of Universe" foolness...Therefore we used to live with that as ships ? or we have to resist against that today not only for locational but universal peace ??? "foolishness" are the latest point of human to bear today...everyone has to follow carefully (especially leaders) and not to take their publics lightly for anyhow...otherwise defeats bacome their destiny..very critical but simple way of being a human worldwide is declared with universally accepted genius leader's word M.K.Ataturk as "peace at home,peace in world"...so many things are hidden behind that simple sentence..It has to be studied on and taken the necessary classes from it especially today's world....There are someones who follow but there is only one who's to be followed..The peace is not peace when we never shared worldwide,otherwise it never step ahead than a word.

1. Bush talks like a child, physically acts like a child, eats like a child, looks like a child. Can somebody challenge his mental capacity and have him tested or analyzed to see if he is mentally capable of the duties and responsibilities expected of him.

2. Mrs. Bush acts and looks like a Stepford Wife. Her face is painted on with a perpetual smile.
3. I'm guessing the reason Blair and Bush are so chummy is because of Brittish Petroleum (BP).

I agree. The media seems to be in a titter over the s-bomb, but to me the real insight from that embarassing exchange was the crass stupidity of the overgrown frat boy lounging in our presidency.

Watching Blair's measured side of the exchange and pauses to digest Bush's juvenile blatherings provides the confirmation that it wasn't an aberration either; we got to see it just like it always is.

What a horror show.

As much as I agree with basic tenent of the post, that Bush is an idiot, I have to disagree with your premise that the people are not itdiots too. After all millions voted for him.

It wouldn't be so bad if this was just plain stupidity, witness that cockroaches have outlived man by hundreds of millions of years. Sadly our President and all his followers have had their minds and wills hijacked by the untimely confluence of a theocratic reaction to the Age of Reason and the ascendancy of immoral and mindless capitalism. This is not just mere idiocy but outright anti-intelligence.

The American voter was told Bush would be ok as President surrounded by Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc. Twice they voted for him.

The Democrats, pansyassed as can ever be, know the power of the main stream media and just how connected Corporate America is to the Bush family. No sense taking on what you cant compete with dollar wise. All a Democrat can do is hope running against what President Eisenhower warned all we Americans. Corporate America is in the driver seat, period.

Any American who has ever worked at a Corporation like General Electric knows just how incompetent people like our President prosper and call the shots (mostly wide of the mark).

No doubt of it. Tony Blair doesnt have any options. BP and Oil force him to suck up to Bush. A travesty if ever there was one. Dr.John Blair has done the work and shown how the US and Britain have historically had their Oil Corporations handle policy in the Middle-east. No surprises here.

That just sounded like nervous small talk to me. Like, talking about the weather. "It's sure a cold one today. Yup, colder than a witches titt." That kind of thing. Stating the obvious is typical small-talk.

What did people expect to hear him say? "Geez, I can't wait to get some bombs over to Iran. That'll be fun huh? We'll soon own all the oil in the Middle East" ? I guess, maybe some were disappointed that he didn't say anything of that nature.

Bush - Stoned? Drunk? Medicated? Retarded? Presidential Tester for the Pharmaceutical Industry? You Decide........

by Ruth Lopez

Bush is fried.

He's either drinking, smoking pot, medicated, or some combination of all of them.

Either that or the man has taken a one-way trip to crazy town.

Watch his gibberish at the G8, especially the bizarre stuff about how long the plane flights to various countries are.

If you take out the comments of the other leaders (because they actually sound intelligent and not like drunken bar talk) and just read what Bush says, he sounds just like someone who is MORE than half looped.

"Gotta go home.

Gotta do sumthin tonight.

Get ona plane.

Go home.

It's a long flight. How long is your flight?

That's a long flight.

Your country is big.

His country is big too."

Retarded or stoned, you decide.


This is the kind of mindless bar drivel that drunks who can't shut up drone on with. They just keep running their mouths, totally disconnected from the non-verbal clues of the people around them.


Watch the press conference where Bush couldn't stop talking about the pig roast.

It didn't matter what anyone asked him, he just kept saying whatever his addled brain was looping on, in this case, the pig.

Typical stoned behavior.

It reminded me of the time Bush went to Canada and couldn't get off the subject of the mouth one of the Canadian Prime Minister's staff members!

"You've got a purty mouth."

Not once but several times. "You've sure got a purty mouth."

And, "Your mouth is prettier than my Scott's mouth." (The poor guy's name was Scott.)

Who does this?

Outside of bars or institutions, I mean.


Watch Bush's body language at the table with Blair talking over his shoulder.

Bush is sitting, almost slouched back in his chair, like a guy at a barbeque on his second or third 6 pack, chomping on his food with his mouth open, and making minimal effort to intelligently keep up his end of the conversation by occasionally throwing in something he mistakenly thinks is sufficient.


Watch the body language of the other leaders and the way they react to him.

With the exception of Blair, they act very restrained and controlled around Bush, maintaining a public facade of geniality while holding back from actually being engaged with him.

What seems to be obsequiousness from Blair may actually be him simply trying to get through the fog around Bush's brain to penetrate with a little reality without setting him off.

Meanwhile, Bush's social modus operandi with everyone, including other world leaders, is to overuse forced jocularity and pretend intimacy to convey a relationship that does not exist.

When he walked up behind the German leader and started giving her an unsolicited shoulder massage, her body tightened up and she actually grimaced.

She wasn't enjoying that, she was enduring it.

Before that Bush can be seen wandering aimlessly around the room while the rest of the grown-ups were conducting the business they were there for.

This is not normal behavior.

Watch him closely sometime when he's having trouble staying coherent and you can see his eyes come in and out of focus.

He does it at the table when Blair is speaking to him and he's looking out across the room as he chomps open-mouthed on his food.

This is a distinct change from Bush's speech and behavior at other times. In fact, radical variations in his behavior and speech can be seen by watching him when he is unscripted.

Sometimes he's coherent, other times he looks like staying coherent long enough to get a sentence out is almost beyond him, (these are the times he seems to get mean-drunk angry when anyone dares to question him), and sometimes he is just off-the-wall bizarre.

I'll say it again; the man is plastered, stoned, or medicated.

This goes a long way to explaining how he is so incredibly disengaged from war, disasters and their destructive effects: he is too out of it to relate.

Drunks and addicts are incapable of empathy, everything is about them and their next high.

When Cheney shot that guy, Bush acted like he had just found out about it days after it happened.

Same with New Orleans.

Bodies were rotting in the ruins of the city, when Bush had been warned that it could, and likely would happen, happen, and Bush's response was to reminisce about partying.

There are bizarre internet rumors of a personal portable toilet for Bush to use when overseas, (to prevent foreign analysis of his excrement)

Normally I would blow them off as some of the wilder of conspiracy theories, but watching Bush's actions over the last week, I can't help but wonder, to what lengths would they go to hide it if it were true? If he is too incapacitated?

What would they do to keep up the appearance of his functionality?

Who could or would step up and do anything about it if he is unfit to serve?

The people around him are not people willing to part with the power they have granted themselves, and that's an understatement!

And with Bush at the top of the chain and out of the loop, or just plain looped, who is holding anybody below him accountable?

His staff?

Congress and the Media have abdicated their responsibilities, who will do it?

Hell, they're all trying to give him, and therefore themselves, even more unlimited power than they have already taken. As long as they can keep up the illusion that he's functioning.........you decide.

"I understand there's a suspicion that we—we're too security-conscience." —George W. Bush, Washington D.C., April 14, 2005

"I like the idea of people running for office. There's a positive effect when you run for office. Maybe some will run for office and say, vote for me, I look forward to blowing up America. I don't know, I don't know if that will be their platform or not. But it's -- I don't think so. I think people who generally run for office say, vote for me, I'm looking forward to fixing your potholes, or making sure you got bread on the table." —George W.

Bush, explaining his plan to save Social Security, Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4, 2005

The man really is lacking in the brain department....and he's tooo stupid to even realize it.....

....it's like a little kid pretending to be president and just saying whatever comes out of his mouth that sounds important, whether it makes any freakin' sense or not!

Are those Bush quotes for real????

Good grief; how embarrassing. It could be that he just has problems expressing himself; he certainly isn't eloquent.

Err - well, I have to say, that if I had a recording audience around me at all times, I'm sure they would catch me saying some pretty darn inane things too. I mean, if every word you say is recorded, you're gonna sound like a dolt sometimes. You're not always going to be focused. Especially if you're on ant-depressants because you thought you were doing the right thing, yet everyone hates you. And you're of the lunar persuation. That could be Ouch - drive a Cancer to meds.

Even his face looks dumb.

Maybe the Cancer sun makes him a bit ditzy.

But you can see it in his face also.

It's a DURF look.

Hi Lioneye....

You say....

Err - well, I have to say, that if I had a recording audience around me at all times, I'm sure they would catch me saying some pretty darn inane things too.....

.....and me too Lioneye.......

.....but ordinary people like you and me are not in the spotlight, professing to have the ability it takes to run a country.

No one's going to notice much if you or I mess up......cuz gee... Rainbow and Lioneye just don't hold the important responsibilities that come with being world leaders...

In my opinion if one's going to choose such an illustrious path, then one should have the skillfulness and adroitness ........that goes with the territory, and that includes having the ability to "be on top of it" at ALL times!

You can't be reckless when it comes to such an important thing! Keen awareness that your image is on the line AT ALL TIMES.....is part of the job. If you can't cut it, then you don't belong in such an elevated position! IMHO

In her kindness and effort to be fair....she also says...


quote:
...I mean, if every word you say is recorded, you're gonna sound like a dolt sometimes. You're not always going to be focused.

If that's the case, then one should not put themselves in such an important position, in the first place.

It's not a region where someone can afford to be "careless." You cannot take the risk of NOT BEING FOCUSED!

Lunar persuasion or no....I really can't see any excuses, for a man who claims he's polished enough to hold the position of President of the United States......and besides with Leo Rising, and Mercury, Venus and Pluto all in Leo, in that first house, that "lunar persuasion" weakens a bit....

again, IMHO...

....but it IS kind of you to want to "make excuses" for the loon who calls himself our president...
