Who tells George Bush what to do?

Dave!

hey folks,

I was just watching the news and I saw George Bush at a conference sitting next to the Iraqi president, and he started saying, "I've not only come, to look you in the eye...", at which point he went out of his way to turn his head, get the president's attention, and look him in the eye. I thought it was particularly cheesy, and it reminded me of another conference with Tony Blair where as it ended, he said into the microphone, something to the effect of "Mr Prime Minister, can I buy you dinner?"

Both of these seemed like they were orchestrated by someone in Bush's team, for whatever reason. I know politicians do this all the time, there's nothing unusual or wrong about it, but it's just... George Bush seems to be really bad at it.

Do any of you know who it is that would be designing this crap, and saying to the president, "hey, at the end of the conference, you should ask the prime minister out for dinner!" ???

I'm genuinely curious, surely they should have been sacked by now!

It's nothing unusual really. He always has an ear piece with a spin doctor on the other end to make sure he doesn't say anything stupid. (Well they're suppose to ensure he doesn't say anything stupid) I always view George W as a Ronald mc Donald type character. Simply the public face of a larger faceless entity with others using him as a public communication device.

It's obvious he like this http://www.tonybliar.com/ lad, are just puppets for the elite.

Putting Bush up as the most powerful man in the world was a masterstroke, as most people see themselves as smarter than he is, and that he couldn't possibly be involved in anything too complicated.

US presidents have used teleprompters for decades. Watch their eyes the next time they give an Oval Office address. Just another talking head repeating what a speech writer has composed.
