Its difficult.
Listening to him, butcher the english language, the same language he wants to make the offical language he can't even speak correctly, is hard.
Knowing that dubya, is leading the nation into a very dark time, botching almost everything he sets out to do, is more difficult.
Besides being political and staying well informed.......
the best thing to do is try to find the humor......
after all he does say some of the funniest things any president has ever said......to bad thier unintentional......
here are few to cheer you up.
"I strongly believe what we're doing is the right thing. If I didn't believe it—I'm going to repeat what I said before—I'd pull the troops out, nor if I believed we could win, I would pull the troops out."—Charlotte, N.C., April 6, 2006
"I was not pleased that Hamas has refused to announce its desire to destroy Israel."—Washington, D.C., May 4, 2006
"I've reminded the prime minister—the American people, Mr. Prime Minister, over the past months that it was not always a given that the United States and America would have a close relationship."—Washington, D.C., June 29, 2006
"You never know what your history is going to be like until long after you're gone."—Washington, D.C., May 5, 2006
or my latest favorite.
President Bush: Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on?
Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times: I can take them off.
Bush: I'm interested in the shade look, seriously.
Wallsten: All right, I'll keep it, then.
Bush: For the viewers, there's no sun.
Wallsten: I guess it depends on your perspective.
Bush: Touché.

Honestly, it got to the point where I was afraid I'd smash my tv screen if I kept throwing things at Dubya's smirking mug.
So now I tiptoe through newscasts like going through a mine field - watch out, they're gonna show 'im, where's the changer, damn it's out of reach, stick your fingers in your ears and hum "Born In the USA" until it's over, don't look, too soon, put that book down and just throw a PILLOW damnit!
And then, if I still catch a glimpse or a sound bite, I go to...

The same way I dealt with Mr. Clinton in my life. One day at a time. I have a hard time believing that people are really as consumed by all this as they would seem posting here, but if one person who you do not know personally has that much power over your life, what a sad existence that must be. The simple fact is that politicians come and go, some you will like, some you won't, but none of them actually have power over your happiness, only you possess that.

Actually, I try to ignore him. But I have trouble dealing with people in here that still support him. I feel they are mentally deficient or something, they are backing a coke snorting, alcoholic with no morals. He has failed at every job that he has ever had and is failing at this one. Trouble with that is he is taking the country down the tubes with him.

He's not IN my life, so I don't care. When Clinton was prez, I couldn't stand the sound of HIS voice, either. While he was an OK speaker (just OK, he was not "brilliant" as his fans seem to think), his speeches were all feel good bumper sticker slogans. As David Brinkley put it very well, most of what Clinton said was "g-ddamned nonsense."
And I meet Democrats who to this day will SWEAR that Clinton wrote his own speeches, which he did NOT. The last prez to write his own speeches was Teddy Roosevelt.
Love, Jack.

Campaigning for his political opponents. Participating in our democracy trumps turningoff tv.
Gotta edit this - someone is actually crediting W for pell grants? He has tried to CUT pell grants, my kids went to school on Pell grants before anyone believed this guy could win an election anywhere

Get your news off the internet, that way you don't have to get so disgusted at all the "fair and balanced" coverage. Here are some good ones.

Well, I've never met the man personally, don't plan to. When he comes on TV, I usually watch, because he's usually pretty comical. If I'm watching something else, well, I don't watch him. He is the least of my problems.
