"in some complicated psychological situation" with his father and is obsessed with re-election Dems have leveled similar accusations at GWB about his father and Iraq for some time now. Howie's hoping against hope that the Prez's election campaign isn't as successful as his Iraqi one.

Howie, in layman's terms you are nuts.

Funny...
Dean and Clark, more that any of the nine seem to be trying to bait GW into some sort of response. He ain't biting so every attempt gets just a little farther "out there".

Asked what he felt the current president's philosophy was, Dean said, "George Bush's philosophy is, 'If you're rich, you deserve it, and if you're poor, you deserve it.' That's not my philosophy."Well, it's my philosophy. In fact, I just stole it and am now useing it as my tag line. And I expect, when you get right down to it, it's the philosophy of a majority of the voters.
We shall see. Thanks to Howard for casting the election in such sharp relief.

Howard Dean claims this about President Bush:
"He is obsessed with being re-elected, and his obsession with re-election is hurting the country." Hey Howie! For the past year you have been trashing this President because of your obsession with wanting his job, yet to date, there has not been one response by President Bush to your absurd accusations.
The other 8 Jackals you're competing against for the nomination of the Democrat Party, have been doing much of the same for the past year, and there has been no response by President Bush to them as well. So I think your claim of obsession might be your way of coming clean with your own fixations.
Howie, you need to prepare for the inevitable and judging from your inability to handle people who disagree with you, suggest you consult a professional concerning your impending catastrophic and humiliating defeat to the man you claim is obsessed.

"This president is not interested in being a good president," the former Vermont governor said. "He's interested in some complicated psychological situation that he has with his father. .." Hmmmm...methinks we've learned a little too much about Howard Dean's personal motivation.

He is obsessed with being re-elected, and his obsession with re-election is hurting the country." Dean makes some of the weirdest most outlandish statements I've ever heard from a politician.
What on earth does his kooky junior shrink analysis of Bush address of ANY importance to this country?
I think Dean is meanspirited, petty and totally off the wall.

I'm sure politics and reelection is a big item in any White House, but I have to say President Bush has not appeared to be even remotely obsessed with reelection. He's a shrewd politician, but anything I see of Bush involves his official duties. as many of you have noted, he has ignored the democrats' political charges. Dean's statement is about as substantive as "na na na na na!"

I have been paying attention to Howard Dean since he rose to the top of that mound of garbage they call the "Democrat Challengers" and what I see is a man who has the vision of Helen Keller and the historical knowledge of the average domesticated Rodent

Bush is good at ignoring the petty attacks from the Dems.
Like they say. When you wrestle with a pig, you both get dirty.
But the pig likes it.
Bush is playing it very smart.

You know, I keep reading about his anger, but what I see the most when he is speaking is ARROGANCE.
As in:
"Mr. Bush, forgive me, but I will teach you a little bit about foreign policy."
Or: "George Bush is not my neighbor."

An interview with Rolling Stone has become something of a rite of passage for candidates hoping to win votes among America's youth and has been known as an arena where candidates loosen up and say unusual things.
Anyone know the current readership for this magazine. I've never read it and I've never known anyone else who reads it. (and I am not far from being considered "youth")

LOL!
Dean's formulation is just an ugly way of saying that Bush believes in individual responsibility.
Well so do most freepers. So do most Americans.
Or ... "you make your bed, you gotta sleep in it."
