"W" has cited catching a perch as his greatest achievement in office.
He may be one of the worst public speakers of all time, but at least he has a sense of humor. The guys that really worry me are the ones that like to talk about some grand event that they are responsible for. That's generally a good sign that a person is narcissistic. Humor is a better leadership quality than narcissism.

"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror."—Interview with CBS News, Washington D.C., Sept. 6, 2006
Personally, I think we would all be a lot better off if he stuck to catching perch.

This is a poem comprised entirely of Bushisms. Rejoice, all ye who do not have to live under his rule.
Make the Pie Higher
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen
And uncertainty
And potential mental losses.
Rarely is the question asked
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the internet
Become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being and the fish
Can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
Make the pie higher!

It's just humor, nothing to get excited about.

Originally posted by MerkNot at all. It's not narcissism to say "I improved our school system a lot". At least, not if he actually did do it. It's hardly inspirational stuff coming from his mouth. Or maybe he really hasn't done anything worthwhile during his tenure. There's only so much pride you can take in tax breaks for your rich buddies.

You seem to be quick to bash "W", and are a cheerleader for Russian communism, so...I was wondering what your hero's, like Stalin, would have said about the good that he accomplished?
[edit; maybe you are getting me and Redmike confused.]

Originally posted by scottishinnzPardon me if I was off-base, but when I read "About scottishinnz" and it states "I'm the founder of Russian communism, and enjoy drinking vodka. If I'm slow at responding to a move it's probably because I've been dead since 1924", I assumed you were in favor of communism?
