As I pointed out in my previous post, Bush fell flat on the most telling question of the debates: asking about what he considered his biggest mistakes. As this additonal article and millions of others are observing, it’s getting scary how “incapable” and “unfit” this guy is to lead ANYTHING.

. . . And Bush’s Telling Non-Answer (washingtonpost.com)

There, in brief, are the core reasons why polls suggest that undecided and independent voters are having a problem with this president. His tactic of never admitting mistakes is backfiring in light of events. And when asked to take responsibility, his first instinct was to direct attention to others by speaking of his supposedly mistaken appointments.

You wonder if the president was thinking about people such as former Treasury secretary Paul O’Neill, one of the first Bush insiders to call the president to account for his style of governing. Maybe Bush regrets naming Larry Lindsey as his top economic adviser, because Lindsey was honest in saying the war in Iraq would be expensive at a time when the administration was trying to suggest otherwise.
