More On The Delusional Mr. Bush

I'll admit, that many times I use my intuition over tangible evidence. If I get an eerie feeling about a person, I stay cautious until proven otherwise. I may choose something because of the way it makes me feel rather than how it appears. During a rough time where there don't appear to be a lot of options, I ride with my belief that "things always work out." However, I am not the President of The United States and am not entrusted with the well-being of millions of people. I wouldn't care if George Bush was Sylvia Browne, nobody voted for him to use his "instincts" after starting a global crisis. I think the man is off his rocker and, again, I am frightened!!!:

Forty democratic senators were gathered for a lunch in March just off the Senate floor. I was there as a guest speaker. Joe Biden was telling a story, a story about the president. "I was in the Oval Office a few months after we swept into Baghdad," he began, "and I was telling the president of my many concerns" -- concerns about growing problems winning the peace, the explosive mix of Shiite and Sunni, the disbanding of the Iraqi Army and problems securing the oil fields. Bush, Biden recalled, just looked at him, unflappably sure that the United States was on the right course and that all was well. '"Mr. President,' I finally said, 'How can you be so sure when you know you don't know the facts?"'

Biden said that Bush stood up and put his hand on the senator's shoulder. "My instincts," he said. "My instincts."

Biden paused and shook his head, recalling it all as the room grew quiet. "I said, 'Mr. President, your instincts aren't good enough!'"
