Thank you for your post TCR. I couldn't agree more especially with the point you hit on, specifically that Bush doensn't seem to want to be President anymore.
I see this too.
I see it not only in his face, but Schwarzenegger's face and others. I can't help but think back to the designer/scientist in iRobot who was trapped by his own creation.
To me these gentlemen probably were once very principled and had very good ideas but slowly the machine that is behind them (the machine that created them in this case) takes more and more of that personal integrity and humanity away from them so that they have to change from saying that CO2 is problem to not even recognizing a problem. They give more and more of themselves and their beliefs until it isn't even George Bush anymore. Just ghostly puppets.
Perhaps the face of the machine is best epitomized by Cheney, but even he does not have full control as evidenced by the gay issue he, in his own way, spoke against.
Power and money and established political/corporate machines are taking away not only individual men's souls, but starting to chip away at our nation's soul. Let us change this.
