In last night's debate George W. Bush was in rare form. He came across pissed off and at times down right incoherent. In contrast John Kerry was focused and spoke clearly. I can't see how any half way intelligent person, not see this stark contrast between the two presidential candidates.
In one instance George W. Bush yelled over the moderator to get his point in. It shows a very clear depiction of W's childish indignant stubbornness.
At several points in the debate Bush comments made little sense.
"I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft."
Just how many internets are there Mr. President? You would think that the president of the United State of America would have a basic understanding of how the internet works.
When asked about getting prescription drugs cheaper in Canada George W replied,
"I haven't yet. Just want to make sure they're safe. When a drug comes in from Canada, I want to make sure it cures you and doesn't kill you."
We all know the body bags are piling up in Canada because of unsafe prescription drugs. Mr. President get a clue!
A question was directed to the president about the environment.
"We proposed and passed a healthy forest bill which was essential to working with -- particularly in Western states -- to make sure that our forests were protected. What happens in those forests, because of lousy federal policy, is they grow to be -- they are not -- they're not harvested. They're not taken care of. And as a result, they're like tinderboxes.
And over the last summers I've flown over there. And so, this is a reasonable policy to protect old stands of trees and at the same time make sure our forests aren't vulnerable to the forest fires that have destroyed acres after acres in the West.
We've got a good, common-sense policy."
What the crap are you talking about Mr. President? Stop talking gibberish and start making sense about your policies.
"Now, I'm going to tell you what I really think is going to happen over time is technology is going to change the way we live for the good for the environment.
That's why I proposed a hydrogen automobile -- hydrogen-generated automobile."
If these statements are any reflection of Bush's environmental policy then our environment is in serious trouble.
In another off the wall comment about George W. Bush regarding stem cell research,
"I had to make the decision to destroy more life, so we continue to destroy life -- I made the decision to balance science and ethics."
I'm still trying to figure that one out.
When questioned about the selection of a supreme court judge the president went on to describe the Dred Scott case, an example that he used to describe judges using personal bias to interpret the law.
"That's a personal opinion. That's not what the Constitution says. The Constitution of the United States says we're all -- you know, it doesn't say that. It doesn't speak to the equality of America."
Mr. President you need to go back to school and take a refresher on Constitutional law and the Bill of Rights. You would think a Yale graduate would have a better education.
One of his more bizarre statements, the president went on to criticizes Kerry's fiscal policies claiming,
"We've got battling green eye shades."
In W's bizarro world his words must mean something but I don't think I want to go there. As Americans we deserve more substance from the president of the United State and less jibber jabber.
