If Bush was ever the one calling the shots in the White House, this news might disturb me. However, there is a wizard behind the curtain. How else do you explain an otherwise complete and total ****-up rising to power as he has??

I have always been disturbed by this man. More so that the republican party would nominate him. It's a slap in the face to the American people. We deserve better.

Is it a slap in the face that the American PEOPLE would democratically elect him??

That depends on the percentage of people who's votes were thrown out.

O please... He won. Stop being a sore loser.

He barely "won". And his legitimacy is highly questionable. His victory was a waivering victory, and by all means shady, affected, and conspicuously contrived. There is still time for him to go down in shame... just like he has in every other endeavor.

That and the fact that whatever you're views on the Florida debacle, Gore won the popular vote!!! And he only beat Kerry by 3% with one of the slimmest mandates in the history of mandates.

Bush Taking Anti-Depressants to Control Mood Swings
By CHB Staff
Jul 28, 2004, 06:13

President George W. Bush is taking anti-depressant drugs to control his erratic behavior, depression and paranoia, Capitol Hill Blue has learned.

The prescription drugs, administered by Col. Richard J. Tubb, the White House physician, can impair the President’s mental faculties and decrease both his physical capabilities and his ability to respond to a crisis, administration aides admit privately.

“It’s a double-edged sword,” says one aide. “We can’t have him flying off the handle at the slightest provocation but we also need a President who is alert mentally.”

Tubb prescribed the anti-depressants after a clearly-upset Bush stormed off stage on July 8, refusing to answer reporters' questions about his relationship with indicted Enron executive Kenneth J. Lay.

“Keep those mother****ers away from me,” he screamed at an aide backstage. “If you can’t, I’ll find someone who can.”

Bush’s mental stability has become the topic of Washington whispers in recent months. Capitol Hill Blue first reported on June 4 about increasing concern among White House aides over the President’s wide mood swings and obscene outbursts.

Although GOP loyalists dismissed the reports an anti-Bush propaganda, the reports were later confirmed by prominent George Washington University psychiatrist Dr. Justin Frank in his book Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President. Dr. Frank diagnosed the President as a “paranoid meglomaniac” and “untreated alcoholic” whose “lifelong streak of sadism, ranging from childhood pranks (using firecrackers to explode frogs) to insulting journalists, gloating over state executions and pumping his hand gleefully before the bombing of Baghdad” showcase Bush’s instabilities.

“I was really very unsettled by him and I started watching everything he did and reading what he wrote and watching him on videotape. I felt he was disturbed,” Dr. Frank said. “He fits the profile of a former drinker whose alcoholism has been arrested but not treated.”

Dr. Frank’s conclusions have been praised by other prominent psychiatrists, including Dr. James Grotstein, Professor at UCLA Medical Center, and Dr. Irvin Yalom, MD, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University Medical School.

The doctors also worry about the wisdom of giving powerful anti-depressant drugs to a person with a history of chemical dependency. Bush is an admitted alcoholic, although he never sought treatment in a formal program, and stories about his cocaine use as a younger man haunted his campaigns for Texas governor and his first campaign for President.

“President Bush is an untreated alcoholic with paranoid and megalomaniac tendencies,” Dr. Frank adds.

The White House did not return phone calls seeking comment on this article.

The exact drugs Bush takes to control his depression and behavior are not known. While Col. Tubb regularly releases a synopsis of the President’s annual physical, details of the President’s health and any drugs or treatment he may receive are not public record and are guarded zealously by the secretive cadre of aides that surround the President.

Veteran White House watchers say the ability to control information about Bush’s health, either physical or mental, is similar to Ronald Reagan’s second term when aides managed to conceal the President’s increasing memory lapses that signaled the onslaught of Alzheimer’s Disease.

It also brings back memories of Richard Nixon’s final days when the soon-to-resign President wandered the halls and talked to portraits of former Presidents. The stories didn’t emerge until after Nixon left office.

One long-time GOP political consultant who – for obvious reasons – asked not to be identified said he is advising his Republican Congressional candidates to keep their distance from Bush.

“We have to face the very real possibility that the President of the United States is loony tunes,” he says sadly. “That’s not good for my candidates, it’s not good for the party and it’s certainly not good for the country.”

So "Dr. Frank" thinks he can diagnose Bush by looking at the news? This is clearly a sham made up by people who can't debate Bush on the issues.

By the way, Abraham Lincoln suffered from Depression.

But he didn't have to suffer through articles like these...looking back, he should've been ecstatic...

 

[SKILMATIC]

And FDR didnt have legs that worked. Jackson was a schizofrenic. Monroe, Grant, and Hoover were insomniacs. So just becasue presidents take meds doesnt make them any less of a person. Its like saying cancer patients for taking chemo are morons. I dont think this is fair.

And he only beat Kerry by 3% with one of the slimmest mandates in the history of mandates.

51% of the vote.
- 8% more than what Clinton was elected with in '92.
- 2% more than what Clinton got re-elected in '96.

But yeah, Clinton had a real mandate.

Too bad the vote was a sham!

President Bush is very isolated. He only appears in front of pre-screened audiences. Which I think violates the constitution.
He is Gettig like LBJ during Viet Nam, only preaching to the choir.

However, I will say that although LBJ's war policies were some of the most horrible he had some of the most greatest ideologies such as the great american nation. Most of which we see today was becasue of him. Like SSN, welfare, all the benefits of school(like scholarships, grants), tax deductables, medical and medicaid benefits, and so much more.

What do you know about LBJ? Were you even around then?

Popular Vote... Since when does the popular vote mean anything at all? The president is elected by the electoral vote, therefore he won. Gore was pathetic... he didn't even win his home state/home county... Kerry should have won that election... his defeat was entirely his fault. I thought the President had alot of loopholes the Dems could of capitalized on... but o well.

The president is elected by the electoral college, I agree, but that is why this election, and last for that matter, where shams. IMO an election should be decided by the number of votes. Given that almost 50% of the country didn't vote, it goes to show that half of the country dose'nt trust our leaders. I don't blame them.

OK... so that must make every single President we've ever had a "sham." I don't blame them for not voting either... maybe not that they dont "trust" their leaders, but more likely because the choices were both pretty shabby. I mean Kerry... Bush... whats the difference?? It was a battle of "whos the least-bad."

Not really, even you have to agree with the fact that at least there were a little voter discrepencies in these elections. The truth is W hijacked Both elections, and in turn, started an illegal and immoral bloodshed to make the mid east safe for his buddies the Saudis.

You're right about Bush and Kerry, the lesser of 2 evils, of course, but IMO, W is Not it. I agree it would'nt make much of a difference now who's in the Oval Office, it would have 5 years ago though, as it takes infinitely more wisdom Not to invade Iraq in the first place, thus making us safer.

I highly doubt he hijacked both elections... I mean c'mon EVERY recount was done in his favor and so was the Supreme Court's decision... Fine, if you want the Saudis to be unsafe, go right ahead, if you don't mind paying 10$ a gallon oil... But thats besides the fact, Iraq and Afganistan had little to do with the Saudis...

Are you implying Gore would have been a better President than Bush?? I think not... 9/11 would have been 10x worse had Gore been in office... and then the post 9/11 world would have just continued the Clinton "ignore the terrorist threats after 3 attacks" policy.

If you were President in the post 9/11 world, I have no doubt that any rational person handed over intellgence that appeared to be truthful indicating Iraq had WMD, would go to war. To let WMDs flow around in the Middle East would be a disaster. And sure, now that we're there we realise the intelligence was wrong, but at the time nobody would of thought that US intelligence could have failed so badly. Any rational person would not allow the proliferation of WMDs in the Middle East.

Please, do I have to go over all the voter discepencies, especially in Miami Dade County? $10 for a gallon of gas? Well it's almost at $3 now, and W's illegal bloodshed hadn't improved that quote at all. So I highly doubt it would be any worse if we had'nt invaded Iraq. And it is almost, I say almost common knowledge that Bush is in bed with the Saudi's.

Of course Gore would have been better. At least he is literate. And didn't get busted for a DUI. Add to the fact that he very rarely invokes "God" in his speeches. You can argue and say all Presidents did, but No one has referred to his Presidency in such epic biblical terminology. "God told me to strike at al-Queada." "God told me to strike at Saddam." C'mon, that proves he is a fanatic. First of all, I don't believe in a supernatural "God", but if there was one, why would he be speaking to W?

And you wanna talk about WMDs in the Mid East? Try Israel, Or India.. wait what about Pakistan? And of course Saudi Arabia- and them siiting on an ocean of oil, have No peaceful use for.

For cryin out loud... theres going to be SOME type of voter discrepencies in every election... Ever hear how Kennedy stole the election with dead votes in Texas??? Stop being a sore loser. Please.

Gore would of wimped out on 9/11. Obvious the President was pretty darn smart in ordering the downing of all aircraft in the U.S. His actions on 9/11 were superior, don't let Michael Moore lie to you otherwise.

Who cares if the President uses biblical references in his speech. Hate to break it to ya, but the vast majority of our country believes in some type of God. If hes such a darn fanatic... why hasn't he established Christianity as the state religion? If hes such a fanatic, why do you currently have to right to reject the existence of almighty God????

Israel, India and Pakistan got their weapons in the pre-9/11 world. Theres a significant difference. Since when has Israel or India threatened our country, or supported Islamic terrorism?? Maybe Pakistan has, but was Bush around when they got their WMDs???

Saudi Arabia certainly has use for their weapons. Remeber the Gulf War?? Saddam would have invaded them had Bush Sr. not confronted him. Ever hear of Iran? Its just like we have weapons left over that secured us in the Cold War... they've got left over weapons too.

Now please, stop crying fowl over the two-time electoral victories of President Bush.
