May I put to you a different interpretation of the man:

***
Bush is a man of limited intelligence and even more limited application, whose few successes have been handed to him.

He is a failed businessman, a failed soldier and a failed father.

He has been arrested three times and is a former alcoholic.

His policies have continually taken from the poor, the sick and the environment with one hand and given to the rich and businesses with the other.

Are these the signs of a great man? Are these the signs of a "decent caring human being"?

Having powerful carrier battle groups and smart advisers does not make you a good man or a good president. You could put anyone or anything in the presidential chair and it would still have powerful carrier battle groups and smart advisers.

Is he lazy? Sure as hell. Look at his CV. It is filled to the brim with multi-year gaps and periods of coasting. He takes more holidays than almost any other President and has met criticism for the number of hours he works and his lack of attention to/comprehension of the reports he is given to read.

Now I have nothing against recovered alcoholics, people with wayward daughters, the lazy, the illiterate or the mollycoddled. We all have faults and I love Homer Simpson as much as the next person.

Nonethless, I want the President of America - the most powerful man on Earth - to be enthusiastic about politics, hard working, inquisitive about knowledge, well travelled, intelligent, quick on the uptake, comfortable with explaining complex issues, diplomatic and 'of the people'.

People want a President who has worked their way to where they are and embodies the American Dream. GW Bush embodies the American Mid-Afternoon Snooze.

Would the real George Bush please stand up.
