Bush's Mental Health Questioned

Prior to reading this I am giving fair warning that I do not, and will not use the word President in any of my articles relating to Mr. Bush unless quoted by a third party. It is of this author's opinion that courtesy titles are earned through respect.

This week Democrat Dennis Kucinich questioned Mr. Bush's mental health. His reason being; Bush's recent warning "that people who don't want another World War III don't want nuclear arms in Iran."

In an interview with Philadelphia Inquirer's editorial board Kucinich stated," I seriously believe we have to start asking questions about his mental health. There's something wrong. He does not seem to understand his words have real impact." And Mr. Bush's response." I've told people that if you're interested in avoiding World War III, it seems like you ought to be interested in preventing them (Iran) from the having knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon."

Note: Knowledge. A key word. There is not a country ,or nation, without the 'knowledge' of nuclear weaponry. The execution of that "knowledge" would be the key issue.

Kucinich told the newspaper," You cannot be President of the United States who's wanton in his expression of violence. There's a lot of people who need care. He might be one of them. If there isn't something wrong with him, then there's something wrong with us. This, to me, is a very serious question. (Did he check with Shirley MacLaine before he made that statement?)

Kucinich is not saying, or thinking something that a good deal of the American people aren't, or haven't, already wondered about? I do appreciate his candor and I do think Kucinich might( if also given a mental health test ) qualify as presidential material (not that "qualifications" mean much in the current regime).

Having immediate family and friends that work in the mental health community I will say that the Mr. Bush's mental status is a real concern of mine. While one never wants to make a real clinical DX without seeing the client, much of what he's actually said, as well as his actions, are very disturbing and demonstrative of a serious personality disorder. Look, anyone that gets his marching orders from God should at least be a little suspect.

For years Bush has not admitted his mistakes, dodged responsibility, ignored facts he disagreed with, and associated questioning him as being anti-American. We've seen him cross from extreme arrogance to mild mono-mania and delusions. Who can forget his "Bring it on!" taunt to terrorists? It's easy to heckle your enemies when you're protected by the best military in the world. But when you do it when people are dying, it becomes irresponsible. He purportedly lied about WMD and the reason for war in Iraq; he lied about his service during the Vietnam War; he lied about the problems of death row inmates while governor of Texas. His rise to wealth was almost completely dishonest. The Republican leadership, before his nomination, knew of his moral depravity, incompetence, and, yes, his mental health precariousness. We have reaped the disastrous harvest sowed by a greedy, quite traitorous party.

I don't recall tyranny as being part of the presidential requirements, nor a mental health evaluation, which could possibly eliminate most potential candidates from running for office. I do think it's time to rethink the American policy on Presidential hopefuls. In my opinion if we want to secure our Nation we better darn right well secure the biggest office first. It's time we hang the fly paper. We've been sitting to long on the bench watching the Presidential Dunce Trains pass us by.
