What next goal is Bush?

I personally don't think G.W. Bush has the chops for it.

I've heard this argument many times before, and I don't buy it -- that G.W. is a mental lightweight who just surrounds himself with smart people. Some of his advisors may know more than he does in their areas of interest, but that's why they're advisors.

The impression that I get is that he's in complete control of his administration. They put on the face that he wants them to. Of course, we can read all the "inside accounts" we want to, but none of us will never know what actually goes on behind the closed doors in the White House. But that's my impression, and I haven't seen anything that changes it.

I think that most people would agree that Clinton was clever enough to take opinions from those around him in context to the person holding them.

Um, what? How do you purport to know what "context" Clinton took advice from his staff under, and what makes you think "most people" agree with you?
