I think that everything bush does is some form of political imagemaking. That being the case, the president can only be honest when it is politically expedient for him to do so. Part of the image the president has attempted to convey throughout his presidency has been that he is infallible in his vast decisionmaking abilities. To his knowledge he has never made a mistake in conducting his leadership of this country. It leaves me to wonder what kind of narcissistic delusions he suffers. Does he just convince himself that he couldn't have known that hurricanes can hit new orleans and then ignore all evidence to the contrary? How does his conservative base, one that seems to trip all over itself expressing its love for personal accountability keep letting him slide?
