BUSH’S BAD ATTITUDE

Up until today, I’ve managed to stay away from politics. Most of the thoughts in my head, when I sit down to write, are about my life-long rather comic quest for enlightenment. Outside of one or two blogs over the past year, I’ve followed that path. But...

Okay, it’s a big "BUT" this guy who’s our president—well he’s got my ire up. I think that is because he’s a bully. Or a control freak. It’s obvious to me that he wants to control what happens almost everywhere. Didn’t we just send Marines into a small country in Africa—I don’t even remember where at the moment—that must make the place NOT of international strategic value.

And now Cuba. I turned on MSNBC a couple of days ago and there was a report about Bush’s plan for post-Castro Cuba...

Now wait just a damn minute here! Isn’t Cuba a separate country? Or, am I missing something again—the day it became the 52nd state? Needless to say, when I heard this, it put me over the top. So, replacing the thoughts of my quest for enlightenment today, is George W. Frikkin’ Bush planning something for another place he has no business planning for.

Why can’t the guy deal with making plans for our own country? I mean, I am beginning to see the light (what a lot of our citizens are talking about) that he, our erstwhile President, has taken his eye off the ball.

I have a theory about this. I think, as a recovering alcoholic (which he is and which is one of the areas I can consider myself an expert) is doing a mental "geographic." That means, rather than dealing with the tough issues that are right in front of him, he has amnesia. In the recovery business they call it DENIAL. It seems to me he is making up other issues to take the focus off what he really needs to deal with!

Somehow, I think Cuba will manage even if we leave it alone. Someone, maybe even someone from Miami will be elected president there after Castro, and Cuba will survive.

So, Georgie Boy (that will get his goat—because he’s a bully)—don’t make up some story about how Cuba has a stockpile of killer bees ready to be let loose from life rafts off Key West! I sense that most Americans are on to you now and even you are bright enough to know that nobody will buy the Weapons of Mass Destruction argument in Cuba.

It’s time for you to get real—at least until the coming election when I hope to God somebody with less denial will be our elected official.

Get that Georgie? Elected! Oh, I forgot, you weren’t even elected in a normal way. A lot of Americans are not quite sure you even won. Maybe that is the root of your problem—feeling "less than"?

I recognize that I’m venting here. I’m feeling some anger but I do think it may be justifiable anger. Because George is in charge of me in a lot of ways and I’ve always had a problem with authority.
