Stupid political rant of the day.

I kind of liked Bush at the start and I was only moderately against him for a while. I think he is a decent guy and I believe he has a lot of natural leadership capabilities and he has vision (which I love because it is so rare in leaders). However, the guy simply does not know how to execute a game plan. There really is nothing more fraught with disaster than an ambitious game plan executed with the wrong team and a poor tactical leader.

I think the President is simply fatally flawed when it comes to assembling the right team and he obviously doesn't hold people accountable. His support for Gonzalez was so out of whack with Gonzalez' performance and it is so out of whack with the AG's complete lack of support from both parties that it simply boggles the mind. It leaves you wondering and a bit unnerved that someone can fail so disastrously in his administration and still have a job. Sadly, we have seen this many times before with him.

Is the White House a place for his friends to hang out or is it a place for serious people to do serious work?

Although I think Bush is smart enough to be president, he clearly does not have the chops to be one. Worse, he doesn't even have the ability to keep his house in order and to support himself with the best and brightest. That is very dangerous for the U.S.

For the first time, I wonder in Kerry would have been a better president. I hate Kerry as he is a pompous windbag who trashed his country and his fellow soldiers. However, I have to believe that even Kerry would have done a better job surrounding himself with talent.
