Sorry I know this has probably been posted before but I've just been listen to a podcast and got me thinking how thick he is. Has there been head-of-states more stupid than Bush? Tony Blair looks like Steven Hawkins when he is standing next to him.
Dont get me wrong, Im not one of these anti-war nutters. I get the impression Bush is an idiot.

I think it's a bit late in the day to start worrying about that now!

I think the first time round the majority of the Americans voted for Al Gore but due to the electoral college system ant the problem with Florida Bush won with less votes in total than his opponent.
The major problem is the system not the votes cast. Look at the problems in Italy at the moment again caused by the voting system. The UK is heading for a coalition government next election. No election system is perfect after all the UK did elect John Major.

Big deal........ Britain has been bloody stupid enough to vote New Labour into power THREE times (1997, 2001, 2005) - in comparison to New Labour (a result of Tony Blair & Co. swapping a few notes with the Clintons), Bush is WAY cleverer than that lot.

Power thru control is the answer:
In the election the key deciding state became Floridia. (Run by Governor Jeb Bush). The media networks were covering the election as the tabulations came in. Then the Fox network declares a winner in now President Bush and the other networks follow including CNN. (like dominoes)
After the election, it comes to light that whole area's of Florida were not counted due to electronic malfunctions etc., and these area's were mainly Democratic. Bush being Republican.
Although that election was called a "close call", I have serious doubts about it all and believe all Americans should be upset about any election issue's that prevent the common man to voice his choice. It is a right garaunteed in the Constitution.
When looking at the global oil/gas reserves and where they are located we see that Iraq is sitting on 115 Billion Barrels of oil worth over 9 trillion dollars in todays market and Iran is sitting on 132.5 billion barrels of oil worth over 12 trillion dollars in today's market. Then there is Velensuala to consider at 79 billion barrels. These are future energies worth alot more than today's market as prices go up as demand goes up.
These are the last great deposits of crude on the planet. Whoever controls them controls the "global economy". Big oil thirsty countries based on petroleum energies will have to pay and the oil owners are going to rule.

Simple to see so far. Things are deeper though, much deeper and there is greater control at the most highest of the human "wealth levels" on the planet. They can put a country into war at any time with economical manipulation of currencies and money flow. All world leaders work for them in some capacity.
The number of Bush is 710, upside down it is 01L
Good Luck in your quest for an answer.

It seems as if there hasn't been a President since Abraham Lincoln who was worthy of the title and position. Many of us would question the assertion that America is either civilised or successful,it has not rescued or rebuilt Louisiana since the devastation and there is much poverty and neglect in America of which the President should be ashamed There is much in their own backyard that needs cleaning up before they turn their attention to the rest of the world.

Well we are presuming that votes are actually counted.
Some thing which I am starting to doubt.
I look at our results in England and I wonder if the voting results represent the votes as cast and they don't seem to gel!
I am very doubtful that we do have democracy at all.
I just think that we have all this voting cr@p to make us - the general public - believe that our votes are actually counted!
Politic's is becoming a homogenous mess , with no real difference between the policies of all parties.
And the erosion of Human Rights is becoming endemic!
Look at the similarity of what is going on politically in UK and USA, yet Bush is far Right and Blair is supposed to be Left!
Yeah Right!!!

Many countries let themselves down in their choice of leader. Nice guys often find more rewarding things to do than go into politics, so you get more than the average number of unscrupulous liars, time-servers , scumbags and megalomaniacs going into politics. Then you have the party bureaucracies where it takes huge dedication to get yourself known so that those coming from a political dynasty, like the Bushes and Kennedys have an unfair advantage. Then you have the totally undemocratic processes where PR and special interests dominate, so that those prepared to sell their souls to the devil or "big oil" gain an advantage, because party funding is not open and the size of your advertising budget wins elections. Lastly you have the tragic indifference of ordinary voters, who let these people play their games and win.

I see the point you are trying to make but I don't think GWB is stupid. Not only does he have an above-average IQ (129 I believe) he has been smart enough to surround himself with people who will protect him.
Sure, people laugh at his pronunciation of "nuclear." I worked in a national organization with someone who was from Yorkshire. many people underestimated him, just because he sounded as thick as two short planks and acted as if he'd just scraped pig doings off his boots. In truth, he was neither of those things but he rose to the top of his field.

You use the word idiot but do you know what it means? Or are you just demonstrating your ignorance when you are trying to be insulting.
And while you are thinking (I know you aren't used to the strain) consider this. IF the man is as stupid as you say and he is an idiot, what does the fact the BEST the Democratic Party had to offer could not beat him say about them? Doesn't say much about the intelligence of the Democrats now does it?

For four years I was thinking the same thing you are. How did we elect Clinton twice? Thank God people came to their senses and elected a real president who would not bow to pressure and actually cared about protecting this great nation so that even idiotic Liberals could live and be free to voice their stupid opinions. Viva La Bush.
