Bush as an amoral grifter.
We all know by now the traits that Bush has on display each day.His enormous sense of entitlement as in " it would be a lot easier if it were a dictatorship with me as a dictator" or his contempt for those not so favorably situated in life as in "who cares what you think".

But what sets Bush apart, IMO, is the enormous satisfaction he derives from fooling other people.He is in his element when he tells people he is a born again Christian without ever subscribing to those religious beliefs,or that he believes in free enterprise when all he believes in is a quick fix, an underhanded deal,or when he has fooled everyone on earth about 9/11.and all this done with a straight face.

Getting away with such crimes must be a carry over from his younger days when fooling his parents or his brothers or his friends and most especially his teachers, must have given him enormous satisfaction.

1. Here's my favorite Bush quote!
"You can't fool all of the people all of the time, but you can fool some of the people all of the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on".

2. good point
Even Bush friends and staff have told the press how George likes to pull surprises and tricks. It's a facet of narcissism.
