President Can't Ride A Segway strikes again, in an interview with some African Print Journalists (who have more spine in one, than it seems any group of American Print Journalists)
And so I -- if I conducted our foreign policy based upon polls and focus groups, we would be stumbling all over ourselves. That's not the way I do things. I base our foreign policy based upon deep-seated principles.
Now we know why our foreign policy is so fucked up. Bush has no principles, deep seated or otherwise and we all know he lies like a rug. So, deep seated principles my ass, held until the next focus group is seated by Frank Luntz or some other GOP Poll Troll. Or a check from a campaign investor donor shows up at RNC HQ.

Now, Jo...that' just not true. Our Great Warrior Leader(tm) most certainly has principles.
1. He never met a millionaire he didn't like.
2. He never turned his back on a chance to make a personal profit, no matter who got hurt in the deal.
3. He leaves no child behind.
4. God speaks to him and he carries out God's orders.

It reads as if he is speaking to that classrom he was in on 9/11 -- in a word: "patronizing." He obviously believes that he is speaking to stupid and ignorant people with grade school intellects. Coming from him that is a joke -- considering his own intellectual capacities.

Actually, Preston, he speaks to everyone like that, except when he's making up pet names for the press corps in the back of Air Force One.

while not an expert on mental disorders, there has to be something deeply disturbed about a man who can look at the current shambled state of world affairs and proclaim that all is well and based on "principles".
While I find myself strangely aligned with some on the Right that think much of the Moslem world are uncivilized cretins(killing rape victims because somehow it was their fault or their irrational hatred of Jews, as 2 for instances) Bush and the Rights actions and obnoxious rhetoric matches that of the radical Moslems. "REASON" has become an antiquated ideal, rendered so by our current commander in stupidity and aided by Moslems living in the 18th century.

He's a classic dry drunk. Mentally ill, emotionally stunted, a 14-year old at heart. The "Bring em on" comment is an example of this emotional retardation

the drunken idiot strikes again....how in the name of christ did this missing link graduate from yale?
Anyway-- I think its about time we stopped misunderestimating the motherfucker in chief.
He DOES think he governs by "principles"; Karl and Karen tell him that their poll and focus group-driven maneuvers are what GOD HIMSELF HAS PUT DUBYA HERE ON EARTH TO DO.
You don't expect the man to argue with God Himself, do you?
