Bush’s schizophrenia: Why do they judge me/I don’t listen to my critics
Hey, if you want to learn something about yourself, listen to your critics… They are seeing your world in a way that you are not.
George W. Bush, in his closing press conference, says adamantly “look at all the criticism, I had people asking ‘how could you not connect the dots’, but i don’t listen to the press, and i don’t listen to my critics”.
He’s not listening to the media (probably because he realizes how easily manipulated old fashioned mainstream media is, because he and Rove manipulated it themselves!), and he’s not listening to ‘his critics’, which at the end of his term is the 75% of Americans who think he’s:
- done a terrible job, ruined the US and global economy
- bankrupted future generations in order to fight in Iraq to secure oil supply lines,
- enriched his corporate friends with Iraqi and Afghani reconstruction projects that have only provided reliable water, heat and electricity and safe buildings to – wait for it – US military bases and prisons, but not to the Iraq and Afghani communities within which these new US infrastructures now sit
Richard Wolffe noticed that Bush had a lack of self-awareness, seemed traumatized in the press conference.
I think these appalling statements by Bush show that Bush is essentially two-faced, schizophrenic.
He harps on rescuing so many people from rooftops after Katrina hit the Southern coastline, but somehow can’t be bothered to think about how law and order fell apart, how communications were so lacking that he didn’t know for two days that thousands of people were in the Superdome, how thousands of survivors didn’t quickly get adequate food or water, or transportation out of the flooded area.
He doesn’t understand why we’ve lost our moral standing in the world. Because he doesn’t listen to the press or his critics. He listens to his ‘yes’ people, apparently. And his ‘yes’ people have now abandoned him to carry on this painful press conference by himself, a shell of a man.
