Mommy and Daddy have this ongoing argument about whether our beloved President is incredibly stupid or incredibly evil. Daddy says that GW’s personal history has shown that the guy just doesn’t have the brains to be as evil as his actions seem to show. Rather, he has surrounded himself with politically self-serving individuals and by taking only their advice, has bumbled us into our current situation. Mommy says that no one can be that stupid and still breathe. She says his actions since taking office show a clear pattern of someone who is set on destroying our country and staying in control of it forever.
I don’t know what to think. On the one hand, the things the guy says make him sound like a village idiot. On the other, he has systematically shredded the constitution, used signing statements to exempt himself from all laws, made it easier for a President to declare a state of national emergency, built incredible data bases on every aspect of our lives, and destroyed our personal liberties. And he’s done all this without any major hue and cry from the public – like Lee Iacocca said: in any other country, he’d be hanging from a lamppost by now.
What do you think: are we doomed by stupidity or doomed by design? I know I’m only a little bear, but surely things can be better…
