Actually, I am in somewhat of a agreement with you here. I recall making the statement, " What is wrong with President Bush! It appears that he does'nt want to win the election!" I don't really know what happened to him. He did appear to give up near the end of the campaign.

The problem with Bush is one of coasing through life on the basis of family contacts and reputation. It's country club social lush politics in which depth and effort are of little concern.

on the basis of family contacts and reputation

I disagree here. Although his family connections helped a great deal, they are not defining him.

That's my feeling. Although I agree that political dynasty's can and do promote poor leaders from time to time.
