It’s possible I suppose. Certainly when the stock market crashed other players came in and read the President the RIOT act. Thereafter he had to do what he was told, even said we’re having to destroy capitalism to save it. This could have thoroughly p#ssed him off as he had presided over a strong stable economy for 8 years. It would make me feel good too. I liked W. The ‘gaffes’ the media caught him in just seemed cute to me.
I saw him live a few times. Never heard any gaffes.
