New name for Bush: President Nero
It says it all.

Only difference is, Nero became Emperor due to the manipulations
of his mother.

"I always jest to people, the Oval Office is the kind of place where people stand outside,
they're getting ready to come in and tell me what for, and they walk in and get
overwhelmed in the atmosphere, and they say, man, you're looking pretty."
-Bush, Washington, D.C., Nov. 4, 2004

11. Nero was a drunkard and a gambler that liked to ...
go out into the city with his friends get drunk and find some defenseless person to beat to death just for the sport of it. He was mean, arrogant and vicious. He knew he had the power and didn't have to answer to anyone. Sound familiar?

13. Another amazing quote - Gov. Bush 1998
"We've got to change today's culture that clearly says,
'If it feels good, do it. If you've got a problem, blame somebody else,'"

-Governor George W. Bush, April 24, 1998

Little that I knew history would prove to make the comparison even closer.

Thanks for sharing.
