When I saw that interview when you posted it the other day, I wondered what happened after it, now I see poor George felt it was unfair to ask him obvious questions. Lodging a complaint and canceling interviews seems like the right adult thing to do.

yeah.
it scares me to no end that a man like that, who makes decisions that affect generations, cant answer questions with even a hint of critique without making this about his own ego and flailing widely around to protect it. it scares me to no end that his first reaction was to get defensive.
that tells me that he has no deep knowledge, understanding or sympathy for the world around him.
scary.

Indeed. I don't know what will happen if that man gets reelected, I mean that would of course mean 4 more years of disaster but also that more than 50% of Americans still trust him. And so far nearly 50% still trust him. I don't know what is more scary.

especially the baby boomers gets riled up when the subject of bush is brought up. i think it's cause somehow, along the way, critizing bush and his "war on terrorism" have become synonomous with being unpatriotic...

That patriotism stuff is becoming way too much like fanaticism.

And when Bush was campaigning back in 2000 he was the one that wanted to privatize social security... maybe remind those folks of that fact. Then see what song the baby boomers sing.
