He is just a boy in an adult boy. I have often believed that the fact he changes his mind so often about some important issues leads to the idea you have stated. He tries to be a president, he tries to be a man, but he hasn’t grown up. That’s what happens when your daddy was a president and took good care that you should follow on his steps. ---------- <a HREF="http://www.serenataflowers.com/" rel="nofollow">Flower UK </a> - Online British Florist I have to admit that you characterized Mr. Bush better than I could have done it.

When he whines and fusses he is so much a child having a tantrum. I'm not sure he is strong enough to stand up and take responsibility for his actions. It seems easier for him to blame and then dismiss Rumsfeld (and thank God he did) or give God the responsibility for going to war ("Did you consult your father before deciding to go to war?" "My Heavenly Father.") than to say "I made the decision and I made many mistakes." Perhaps Bush will now try to stand on his own, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'm not sure he's aware or astute enough to realize the country is apparently tired of him and his party. I think he will continue to think it is the fault of others in his party. He once said "I don't care how history judges me because we'll all be dead." I think he will go down in flames. Your observation that Bush is a boy wanting to be a man is what I too, believe.
