I can't believe I'm wading into this, but here goes... No one can say how Kerry or Gore or McCain or anyone else would have handled the crises with which Bush has been challenged. I wasn't crazy about either Kerry or Gore, but would have voted for that ole' yaller dog before Bush. Had McCain won the nomination, I would have voted for him. Bush scares me, still. He has all the character traits of a playground bully, indulged by doting parents, and never required to be responsible or accountable for his actions. He is inarticulate at best(even with some of the best speech writers in the business), particularly when forced to speak "off the cuff," and lacks good grammatical skills. I read many books written about this president (both before and after he was elected, because he gave me the willies from the beginning; and both pro and anti Bush). He has never known want, much less poverty; few presidents have. His family had the financial and political pull to erase evidence of his mishaps - lucky for him. He professes a strong religious belief and I do not doubt his devotion to his faith. Like many people of faith, however, he appears to feel that whatever he does is devinely inspired and is providential. That seems like zealotry to me.
I have just deleted the rest of my venting. Please don't hate me for my opinions - I will probably not live long enough to see how history views this presidency... Read the books - but only the ones with bibliographies to document the quotes and claims.
