An Interview with Bubble Boy

He really is strange, isn’t he?
THE PRESIDENT: I’ll give you a quick tour before our interview. So, the first thing that a President does, which I didn’t realize, was pick a rug. I have no idea about rugs. And so in this job you’ve got to delegate. The American President is in a position where there’s just unbelievable complexities to the job — Darfur, Iran — a whole lot of issues. So I delegated the decision about the rug to my wife.
The second thing a President has got to do is have a strategic mind. In order to be successful, in my judgment, as the President, you’ve got to constantly think strategically. And so I said to her, you pick out the colors, you be the tactical person, but I want it to say “optimistic person.” That’s all I wanted it to say. Here is the result. Isn’t it beautiful?
Q Yes, it is very beautiful.
THE PRESIDENT: There’s a sense of optimism when you come in here. And there’s a reason why. You cannot lead people unless you’re optimistic about what you’re doing. You’ve got to believe it in your very soul. One of the interesting things about the presidency is people watch me like a hawk. They’re looking at my moves. And if I’m going to be ringing my hands and if I’m all worried about the decisions I make are not going to lead to a better tomorrow, they’ll figure it out.
And so when you talk to me today, I just want you to know I not only strongly believe in the decisions I make, I’m optimistic that they’re going to work — very optimistic.
welcome home my friend.
Hmmm, How many wrong decisions does this guy have to make before he runs out of optimism???
The only constitutional amendment this country really needs is way for us citizens to be able to fire the president for incompetence!
If I had done as bad a job Bush has, my boss would have booted me in the first week!
