Truly we are not privy to the inner workings of the administration---nor Bill Clinton's.   Given, however, reportage by those not "embedded" and books by those few who have accessed the White House (Woodward,Clarke,etc;) one has to conclude that this is not a presidencyt anymore---this is a secretive assumption of a "throne". Worst--by someone who, I believe, does not really understand the ramififations of what he has allowed his underlings---read VP--create.

Can you believe that any Pres. of memory needs his VP to accompany him to a hearing, needs his VP to help formulate policy, and after 9-11 listens to his advice rather than leading. Can you picture FDR, HST, LBJ---and even RR. You know---I don't think that even Nixon did not control a situation to a point. ( I speak only of recent memory here) in such a situation?   

I have not yet seen the new Moore film---but the descriptions of this Pres behaviour boggle the mind---and,as the critics say, it Moore's best and low key work yet.   


Not an endorsement of the film. Merely a statement regarding the ineptitude of our dear old Dubya.
