Well, it's not whether he is human or not that is in question; It's the fact that him asking rice whether it is appropriate to go to the bathroom implies that he doesn't know when these things are appropriate but she does. When you talk about one of the most powerful people in the world (i don't really agree with that title), that is supposed to lead a superpower possibly (and i do stress the word possibly) lacking such basic judgment skills it is certainly enough to raise a few eyebrows to say the least. It's not as though he is new to this.

Some of you call this nitpicking but with political jobs such as being president the press have an obligation to report anything that could have implications to a person's character. I believe for democracy and the voting system to actually work people should be left to draw their own opinions on character rather than being told what type of person he is. It is not at the press's discretion to decide whether something is important enough, as long as it MAY have an impact on some people's opinion of the president i believe the press have a duty to make it public knowledge.

That being said this photo probably isn't legitimate, this is again an example of certain members of the press taking advantage of the current attitude towards bush for their own selfish reasons. I believe this is a problem which is visible throughout the world's press. I think people have forgotten that they aren't there to slander or cause controversy but to simply make different points of view heard.

To add to what i have just said i am English and i am not anti-bush but i am not pro bush. For all you bush supporters that have been coming under-fire lately i believe that instead of just defending bush blindly you throw your hands up and say "you know, he's not perfect and some of what you're saying is true but i believe he's doing a pretty good job and i don't believe that any of his current competition could do any better". If you said things that are a little more constructive than just "stop nitpicking" i think a lot of the people that are legitimately anti-bush would respect you guys a lot more. When you defend someone, unless you do a good job it's just going to make the person look like they have a weaker argument than they actually do.
