Are we at DU Too Obsessed with George W. Bush?

Poll question: Are we at DU Too Obsessed with George W. Bush?

[WI_DEM]

1. I'm not obsessed--I'm repulsed.

[Ganja Ninja]

2. If he died tomorrow I wouldn't give him a second thought.

:nopity:

[saltpoint]

3. I'm with Wi_Dem -- a lot of us are repulsed.

I have a hunch that Dubya is dismissed even more savagely across the breakfast tables of Europe, and properly so.

We're the loyal opposition, dammit. This is our job.

[Syncronaut Seven]

4. Know thy enemy.

5. It's much bigger than just Bush. Bush is just their "Wal-Mart greeter".

[fliesincircles]

12. That's the Best

description of * I've heard yet. Puppet, stooge, just doesn't do him justice. "Wal-mart greeter" is PERFECT.

[nolabels]

13. Yep, that's just about it

Wait till they draft your kids for their corporate obsessions, all you naysayers :-(

[Roland99]

14. I think you're misunderestimating him.

He's no dummy. He talks like an idiot but he knows what he's doing.

[Donald Ian Rankin]

18. Agreed.

Appearing to be intelligent was one of the things that cost Al Gore the 2000 election, I suspect.

And *no-one* could come up with those malapropisms without trying. I suspect that Bush's speechwriters are briefed to throw in the occasional deliberate mistake, to reassure voters that he's not a dangerous intellectual, and give the columnists something other than his policies to criticise him for.

Some of them must have been made up on the spur of the moment, though, I suspect, and that must take a real gift.

7. how can one B 'too' obsessed?

I'm just getting warmed up.

[slor]

8. If being concerned that an idiot...

is behind the wheel of this great ship of state, well then by golly, call me obsessed!

[sabra]

9. Bill Maher said on his show, he hoped that * would win...

because other wise he would not have any material to work with :-)

[jackster]

10. someone better be obsessed with him....

he's going to destroy our planet if he's not stopped!

[Roland99]

11. We must do all we can to expose the secrecy and deception known as Bush.

[LittleClarkie]

15. In that it drives us to negative action instead of positive, yes

We need to drive our agenda. We need more offense. Our revulsion can fuel us, but we must focus our action on presenting an alternative to the Right Wing agenda, and then working for that alternative with all our might. Otherwise we're just a bunch of people muttering into our beer.

Does that make sense?

[txaslftist]

16. He's the biggest threat to the US since Jeff Davis...

I'd have to say we're just responding appropriately.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

17. You can never be too obsessed with the man destroying your world

[hector459]

19. It's not really Bush but what he stands for and who controls him.
