uneducated is at best arguable. he may not be particularly eloquent but that does not necessarily mean he's badly educated. as for "ill-advised" - it all depends on your perspective. the neo-cons at the heart of bush's inner circle probably think he's very well advised as do the business interests who put him into power in the first place. you may not agree with the advice he's getting but don't let that obscure the fact that that advice is coming from some very clever men (and women).
Actually Bush is the typical rich boy who never had to work to have everything he ever wanted. His dad put him in a good college where he graduated not thanks to his efforts, but thanks to his family money. Bush was a drug addict and a drunk, who suddenly found god. Can there be any worse combination than this?
But i agree with Richey when he says it depends on theperspective. True, Bush's office don't seem to know much about world affairs and think sheer force and brutality will work everything out. Well, as we're seing today, the people of Afganistan are not better off, the people of Iraq are not better off and the world is most certinly not a safer place. Everything people all around the world, particularly in Europe said it would happen, happened. The american strategy proved to be flawed and ineffective. But we all know that everyone in the White House is connected with big businesses and corporations, so the advise he's been getting are all bent in the profit above everything else policy. So, in this perspective, he might be getting good advise after all. The republicans are certainly not worried about what happens to other people outside the US, are they?
He's also emotionally stunted.
now i really have to take you to task here herr quiff. on what basis are you able to make this judgement? you've never met the man (i'm guessing but please feel free to correct me if you have) so how can you possibly make an assessment like this? that's not an attack by the way, i'm genuinely intrigued as to how you came to this conclusion.
He's a drunk, drug addict, emotionaly retarded man, that never achieved what his family, especially his dad, wanted him to. He found god (gasp), and become a fervent god fearing man, that wants everyone in the world to be as god fearing as him. He wants everyone to embrace his right wing, fascist, conservative philosophy.
Somehow this inarticulate, not very bright man, found himself sitting in the highest seat of the White house, damn, money can buy you everything
.
all these factors combine to make him totally unable to express himself in a given situation and prone to using made-up nonsense words, bullish redneck over-sentimentalism and meaningless and obfuscating PR/marketing buzzword sh*te.
see my above comments on bush's lack of eloquence. and be very careful as damning someone as stupid just because they are unable to effectively communicate their ideas. many incredibly intelligent people are appalling communicators.
Yeah, i agree with this, and sometimes i can't help wonder if he just acts this way to misleed people into thinking he is as dumb as a door, when in fact he's not.
