Stammerer in Chief

It must be so awful to feel so right about something, but be so wrong about it.

I feel horrible for GWB when I watch those press conferences. I imagine on some level he is ashamed at his inability to get the words out, but on another he is likely very resentful of those who can express themselves without looking like they are having their teeth pulled.

It is unfortunate to hear that we will not be leaving Iraq during his presidency, but I think that was something they planned. There is a lot of money in defense, it has fueled our economy since WWII, and the GOP certainly does not have any plans to change that as they and the defense industry (or war department) operate in a symbiotic ecosystem.

In any case, it should be some indication of the state of our nation when someone like GWB has done the things he does, in the manner that he has, and still remains the decider.
