GW is anything but humble. After "winning" the election he went around acting like a dictator on his high horse. His first trip to Europe set up this UN debacle. He treated them as if they were his underlings, telling them he'd break his campaign pledge to support Kyoto and didn't care who knew it, he'd deploy SDI no matter what, he'd boss around NATO and the UN and piss on anyone who wasn't with the program. That after he cheated to win the election, lost the populr vote and had no mandate at all to dictate. Oh, and Bush said NOTHING about terrorism. Nothing, just SDI, SDI, SDI. GW toned it down the other night, trying not to appear arrogant, but instead he just seemed sedated and out-to-lunch. It was scary. Another brazen example of no-humility is the Axis Of Evil speech. His speech-writers were trying to copy Reagan's "Evil Empire" speech and they recklessly wpoke up North Korea from slumber, and alienated anyone who isn't 100% pro US imperialism. This after he ran in 2000 as an isolationist unifier. Bush is about as divisive as they come. At least Reagan had humor plus a real super power enemy. Bush is trying to build a new Cold War against shadows. And the world is not going along with it at all. Newwest polls show Americans are losing faith in Bush as well. Only 44% will vote for him now? Not enough to win or claim a mandate for his progams.
