Mr. President

i've heard several theories (some more believable than others) on whether or not President Bush is really as stupid as he appears. i mean the guy still says nuc-u-lar and mixes his metaphors* like nobody's business. he also felt the need to remind us all that he's 'the decision maker' the other day... uh, yeah... you're the president (a.k.a. king of the hill)... we know. now, i'm not a Bush-basher (waste of time) and i have no interest in talking politics (i'm neither red nor blue) but i really do wonder if this 'stupid president' act is for real or not. could it be a so-called public relations tactic - one theory - where he's trying to relate to the American people on a personal level? or is he truly not smart - another theory - and simply ignores or doesn't comprehend the advice coming from his speech writers or publicity managers? perhaps it's a combination of both. i don't know. it's a tough call. one thing is for sure though. he can't possible be faking the ridiculous facial expressions we've come to know (and love).

* this isn't such a big deal - it's just that in his efforts to appear down-to-earth he ends up sounding like an idiot.
