LBJ was unre-electable and so was Jimmy Carter with his Iran impasse. What got George Bush in office in the first place was that the USA people generally want a outsider to "take back the country" after a scandalous president (Carter after Nixon and Bush after Clinton). This country, when it has a scandalous president usually seeks to have a no-name outsider to cleanse the country of its scandal years. In the case of George Bush, he is too much testosterone of a president skipping from war to war. Little wonder that the banner of the Democrat candidates is "take back the country from Bush". So where as Bush got into office to "take back the country from the scandals of Clinton" it is now "take back the country from the ill-logical and non-logical leadership of George Bush. Generally, no USA president musters a 2nd term when perceived as "a loser" in a war in his first term. This is a social phenomenon that we should research in that "charisma" in a leader is built up piece meal, step wise in small increments. But when the opposite takes place where a nation of people perceive a person as "deficient or losing" then the "liking or support of the person" takes a huge plunge in very short time. As we head into the 2004 election, I cannot see any sort of excuse that the Bush team can dream up to make the Iraq Guerrilla War as an asset. He may find SH and get a boost in confidence. Or he may find Afghanistan Mullah or OBL. If Bush does find any one of these individuals it would give him a temporary boost in ratings but by that time the USA body bags flown home of 4-20 soldiers per day will not make much difference for the USA public will have long seen Mr. Bush as un-re-electable. And that is fair. Because the mistake of this Bush administration is that those people are not-intelligent enough to run the USA in its highest political office. The sum total of the Bush years 2000-2004 is a seeking of the past: (1) turn back the clock on abortion rights (2) deprive the citizens of the USA privacy in the patriot-acts (3) turn back the clock on all Environment Laws (4) pretend as if GlobalWarming does not exist (5) invade Iraq and lose the friendship of our ally nations in Europe (6) marginalize the UN The worst mistake of this presidency is that it is incompetent in looking at the world at large and recognizing the worst problems that need to be fixed and need top priority. In the year 2000 that was to fix the Israel Palestine Conflict and to create a Palestinian Homeland. George Bush was too blind to see it. Instead he spent the first two years of his office with diddlying around in education. Because Mr. Bush failed to make Palestine the top priority we thence had 11Sept01. That could have been avoided if Bush had made some progress with Palestine before 11Sept01. And instead of solving Palestine, Bush does a Compound mistake of invading Iraq. This is not the Iraq War. This is the Iraq-Palestine War. It is not that the USA soldiers in Iraq face 5,000 bad guys. Our USA soldiers are facing 1.3 billion Islamic people who hate the USA so much because of the Israel-USA axis which is stealing the land of the WestBank and Gaza. Mr. Bush does not deserve a second term in office. He has made a mess of his first term. He has alienated the USA from its traditional European friends and allies. He has made the only friend of the USA that of Israel. And that is a dangerous situation he has steered the USA. Ironic that our founding fathers emphasized separation of Church and State, yet the USA in the past 4 years has gravitated to a tiny nation of Israel and supported that nation in the "stealing of land via settlements" from a group of native peoples. Mr. Bush lacks the intelligence to lead the USA, and I would be awfully surprized to see him get re-elected, especially when so many USA bodybags come flying home on a daily basis. Mr. Bush was a fine owner of a Baseball team and could run that well, but as to running the country that is the USA, well, that is far too much for him to handle. His biggest flaw in leadership is that he cannot see what the Major problems are and to Prioritize those problems. He is a scatterbrain for a president. At this very moment, Mr. Bush should not be running off to London and trying to justify the British dead in Iraq with another stupid speech that they "contributed to the war on terror". Mr. Bush should be flying to Palestine and saying "the 1967 borders will be Palestine Homeland and we will start building the fence and any Jewish person inside the fence when erected is on his/her own" Nay, the USA people as a whole are generally not dumb and it may take them several months to realize they have an incompetent in the White House but once they do, then they get a new person in there.
