Is there anything else about this other than this site with these photos?

But even to make the public hate him so we would love Obama even more isn't worth an international embarassment considering that the U.S. has been trashing the rest of the globe with its wars and financial shenanigans. This just defies logic. But accidents happen, and it might be that simple. Maybe somebody just made a bad call.

The reason I bring this up is because I've noticed that there's a particularly hate-filled segment of the right wing demographic that absolutely LOVES it when Bush curses or makes references to getting drunk. I have an uncle who considers himself to be a real rugged "no nonsense" kind of guy who worships Fox News, cursed heavily, and drinks himself into a blackout every day after work. He's the type of moron who screamed about going to a mosque to fist-fight Muslims on 911. He adores it when Bush acts arrogant or fucked up. In fact, he actually seems to view Bush as some sort of maverick John Wayne type who isn't afraid to "bend the rules" to protect America, and who's such a real man that he gets stinking drunk regularly.

Between him and John McCain, we've basically got the Ronald Reagan/Marlboro Man "rugged individualist" image being run into the ground. I guess if it worked in the 80s...

Thats why, when the globalists then bring in a sophisticated, charismatic and charming new leader that has so many under his messianic spell...I then begin to really worry what "will happen next".

Personally, I can't "hate" Bush. He seems as I've mentioned prior, like a thoroughly compartmentalized manchild...perhaps as the result of ritualized abuse from childhood. I certainly dont put anything past his father; a man a thousand times more evil then "Dubya".

Hey, there's always the possiblity that Obama might pull a Jimmy Carter, and drop the charisma schtick and actually enact a real goddamn energy policy. After all, that would line up with my "1978 2K8" Theory.
