1. It's like saying I'm the king and you can't do anything about
the stupid decisions I make. The man is an embarrassment to Democracy.

3. He's the joke of nearly everyone on earth (except for some
rich repubs and extreme right wing Christians). I'm thinking of removing my signature line and replacing it with something more positive and uplifting. Why give him any more *air time.*

6. Well, there was "I'm the decider." Oh, and let's not forget "Saddam is a bad man."
Ugh.

Or how about this classic, said with the proud yet nervous smile of a two-year-old announcing he's just made a poopie in his pants: "I'm a war president!"

:crazy: :dunce: :crazy: :dunce: :crazy:

7. the more he has to "remind us"
that he's the decider or decision-maker the weaker he becomes

a true leader doesn't have to remind followers that he/she is a leader, the followers recognize the leadership.

the constant litany of "I'm the president", "I'm the commander-in-chief", "I'm the decider", "I'm the decision-maker", "I'm the boss of you" highlights his insecurity and the diminishing respect people have for him.

10. Considering it was Bush who said it....
....I'm wondering whether it even really is in the English language.
