SERIOUSLY: Is Bush DANGEROUSLY unstable???

[jackstraw45]

First the pig roast press conference, then the jawing in the open mic and now the President of the United States groping the Chancellor of Germany....





Is he too drunk/drugged to have his finger on the button? Time for a trip to Whispering Pines rehab?

[RufusEarl]

1. YES!!!

[grytpype]

2. Yes, he's nuts.

Seriously.

[htuttle]

3. Well, he's started two wars already, and is threatening three more

GOLLY, DO YOU THINK HE'S NUTZ?

A: Yes.

[Bonobo]

4. I believe he is unhinged, yes.

My mother had an interesting take on the G8 behavior...

She said that since everyone at the G8 is his peer (word leaders all), he feels comfortable and so he is actng like his true self. It's just like his college days in the frat, so that behavior is coming out.

[fishwax]

16. an interesting theory, though I don't think he considers any of those his

"peer." I think he sees them as more or less staff, there to do his bidding.

[Virginia Dare]

35. It was a prime example of one of the skills Mommy taught him...

in his "conversation" with Blair.

Mommy: George, you're a stupid dunce, so if somebody starts talking about something you don't have a clue about, change the subject.

[Missy M]

5. All one needs to do is look at his face in those photos....

and know without a doubt that he is seriously unstable.

[Warpy]

6. Yeah, he's dangerous

I think he's completely disinhibited and I think he's been drinking on this trip. Plus, he's emotionally tone deaf.

Add to that his complete disregard for manners and protocol, things that are very important in international relations.

That utterly blank expression in the second photo (undoubtedly taken as an aide tells him to knock it the fuck off, she doesn't appreciate being pawed) tells us a lot about the man. He has absolutely no clue about how to read other people yet prides himself on seeing into souls. He has no clue how to read himself.

This makes him very dangerous.

[mmonk]

7. Anyone have a picture of a bear in the woods?.......

[Auntie Bush]

12. Or a picture of a PIG/Bull in the China Closet.

[laylah]

31. or a hobby horse

with a hickory dlck?

[kentuck]

8. I am shocked that other people do not see it...

He's more than a half a bubble off...

[madokie]

19. more like a half bottle off as in jack daniels old no 7

[AndyA]

9. The man is a raving lunatic.

F*cked up beyond any comprehension.

Likely heavily medicated to control his alcoholism and everything else that's wrong with him, he's a walking medicine cabinet. One only has to look at him to see that things aren't right. Compare speeches he made back in the 90s when he was gearing up to run for President to the ones he makes now. There's no doubt whatsoever that there's something very, very, seriously wrong with the man.

Should he be in a position to make decisions for the country? Absolutely not! He's a dangerous man, to himself, and to America.

We just need to find someone with the guts to confront him with it.

[bdamomma]

30. find someone

how about us, to scream it out, or keep on writing about it, someone should see it and make it sound like it's a liberal conspiracy.

[rodeodance]

10. Bush has no real job at the confernce--he got restless!

[Rosemary2205]

29. Oh come on!!

Doesn't everyone have that one grown cousin/uncle or inlaw in the family who just ain't wrapped and the family takes turns coming up with meaningless and safe tasks to keep him out of everyone's hair?

That's Bush.

[bdamomma]

11. Yes, you want proof also

I have included some articles also

[jackstraw45]

13. Also, most "presidential" photo since...

[whistle]

14. Seems he is, or maybe he is just horny

[leftofthedial]

15. always has been

he's a sociopath

a mean, bullying, conscienceless frat boy

[Garbo 2004]

17. He's publicly appeared whacked out on this trip. Time to adjust the meds..

again.

[Arugula Latte]

18. Brain Damage + Out of Control Ego = Very Dangerous.

I'm serious. He's a megalomaniac and a psychopath.

[DoYouEverWonder]

20. He should be forced to resign

due to his apparent incompetence and inability to behave appropriately.

He needs a rubber room and some serious meds.

[bdamomma]

32. hey, this guy has many skeletons in his closet

this should be taken seriously hasn't he already proved how dangerous he is, look at what he spreading he is like a cancer.

[Swamp Rat]

21. Psycho

[enid602]

22. To GWB:

If you don't get help here, please, GET HELP SOMEWHERE!

[Mandate My Ass]

23. yes, whenever he leaves his bubble, he becomes unstable

Visiting countries where the press takes its job as a watchdog seriously and foreign leaders are intelligent and articulate, all of his sociopathic tendencies come to the fore. And he acts on them all.

He's more than an embarrassment, he's a disgrace and dangerous.

24. Read Bush on the Couch

Book Description

A renowned Washington, DC-based psychoanalyst examines George W. Bush's public persona-and asks serious questions about whether he is fit for the office he holds.

In Bush On the Couch, Dr. Justin Frank, a renowned Washington, DC-based psychoanalyst, assembles a comprehensive psychological profile of President George W. Bush. Using the principles of Applied Psychoanalysis, the discipline of psychoanalysing public and historical figure pioneered by Freud, Frank fearlessly builds his case, which concludes with a most disturbing diagnosis. With an eye for the subtleties of human behaviour sharpened through thirty years of clinical practice, Dr. Frank traces the development of Bush's character from childhood to present day, identifying and analysing Bush's patterns of thought, behaviour and communication. A thorough and authoritative examination of Bush's public appearances and speeches, along with historical, biographical, and journalistic records, Bush On the Couch is a compelling portrait of George W. Bush, filled with controversial and disturbing revelations about our nation's leader:

. the scion of a powerful family that failed to nurture its first-born son even as it instilled within him a false sense of omnipotence
. an individual in the grip of anxieties that require a monumental effort to manage
. an untreated alcoholic supported by a nation of enablers
. a rigid thinker with a perilously simplistic worldview
. and a megalomaniacal leader driven to invent adversaries so he can destroy them

Insightful and accessible, courageous and controversial, Bush On the Couch sheds startling new light on the Bush psyche and its impact on the way he governs, tackling head-on the question no one seems willing to ask: Is the president psychologically fit to run the country?

Also here's an article by the author:

25. Yes, this is really disturbing. As a man, and a fairly tall and...

...imposing one at that, I try to be very conscious not to get into another person's space. Especially a woman. It's just unfairly imposing. For insance, about 6 months ago my girlfriend received some unexpected guests at her home: Two 15-16 year old girls who would, because of strife at their home (caused by their meth-head father) would seek shelter when things got bad. From what I understood from my girlfriend this would happen every couple of months, usually very very late at night. They would knock on her door, she would answer and (almost without saying a single word), invite them in, ask them if they needed any water, food or anything and just let them sit and watch TV for an hour or two. They'd let themselves out after an hour or two and go back home, presumably when dad and mom had stopped the fireworks.

  Whenever the girls were over I'd try to make myself as scarce as possible. The last thing that I felt they needed was a big man stomping around in the living room where they were- I let my girlfriend take care of it. Being a woman in this situation she was not as "threatening", or at least I perceived it as that.

  Also, I enjoy very long (sometimes 5+ hour) walks outside, often winding up on city sidewalks or on our local campus (the University of Oregon) at night. If a woman comes out of a building and cuts onto the sidewalk in front of me, I try to slow down, hang back, and let them put distance between themselves and me. Being a young woman is being aware that you are a target for predators and since there seem to be a slow but steady series of reports of rapes or sexual assault on campus I can only imagine what concerns might be going through their mind, especially at night.

  It harms me not a lick to slow down, as I said, and let them put some distance between us. I will never have to deal with the concerns that women do when interacting with men and in repayment, in certain situations (like walking at night), I try to ease whatever concerns might crop up in their mind.

  As you can see from the examples above I may be overly-conscious of a woman's (especially) personal space in regards to myself as a man. If I had witnessed this in real life I would have gone over to him and told him what he did was incredibly wrong. I would have used my height at that point, bending in such a way as to tower over that little fuck just to let him know that I was bigger than him and that he was on my shitlist for being so wildly, brutishly inappropriate.

26. "Is Bush DANGEROUSLY unstable???"

Without a doubt.

[geniph]

27. Who else wants to bet he spends all of August "at the ranch"

in other words, time to dry him out again. Time for one of his patented 40-day vacations again.

I sure wish *I* got 40 days of vacation every three months!

[MODemocrat]

28. He's not putting on an act

He's mentally unstable, and people are closing their eyes and their minds to it. He's taking all of us down.

[bdamomma]

36. and are we going to let him take us down

there are many of us, I hate to make comparsions but Hitler had his problems too, and look at what happened to Germany.

[MODemocrat]

40. I' d rather think maybe He can be taken down

I hope we don't let him achieve his Dictatorship, but, it seems that he's moving right along, and with the help of our own party, who just can't seem to say no to him. Surely most of us know he's insane. It's very disheartening.

[undeterred]

33. He seems to think being president confers upon him

all kinds of rights that it actually doesn't.

[michael_1166]

34. He's nuts, he's a mass murderer and he has no empathy

And it all started already when he was Governor.


He's the smiling killer from Texas.

[bdamomma]

38. hasn't he killed enough yet

9/11, letting people die in Hurricane Katrina, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the list goes on and on........................

ARE we going to let this sick man dictate to us his sick plan, when will rise above it all? sorry just my rant.

[Justice Is Comin]

37. He doesn't even have the class

of Stiffler from American Pie.

[LibertyLover]

39. Imagine how her security people must have felt

there is a dangerous person pawing at their charge and they can't handle it the way they have probably been trained to do (a body slam bringing said dangerous person to the ground being one of the least violent ways to bring the incident to a quick close) because he is POTUS. Talk about stress.

[muriel_volestrangler]

41. In that sequence, drugged seems more likely

He's out of it, as if his mind in in neutral, while able to walk in a straight line, and he did grab her neck and shoulders where he apparently meant to - so I don't think it was drink. But it looks like an action without much conscious thought - like you might stroke a dog when you walked past it, without considering whether the dog looked as if it wanted it.

Serious question, becasue I'm not a professional, nor do I have experience of family or friends on it (and watching The Sopranos doesn't count): could Prozac or a similar drug make him behave like that?
