'I'm the President!'

Bush's growing madness shocks even his friends

By DOUG THOMPSON

President George W. Bush's paranoid megalomania is so rampant that
close friends and supporters worry about the man's sanity and fear he
has lost his tenuous grip on reality.

Bush, whose arrogant stubbornness knows no bounds, is so wrapped up in
his obsession with being President and "commander-in-chief" that his
behavior shocks his most ardent supporters.

Writes syndicated columnist Georgie Anne Geyer:

"Friends of his from Texas were shocked recently to find him nearly
wild-eyed, thumping himself on the chest three times while he repeated
"I am the president!"

He also made it clear he was setting Iraq up so his successor could
not get out of "our country's destiny."

Arnaud de Borchgrave, the rabid Bush supporter who edits the
right-wing Washington Times and runs what is left of United Press
International, also reports on the meeting:

"The self-described "Decider" is the antithesis of self-doubt.

Like an old seadog, he relishes the idea of plowing into rough seas.

When a recent visitor asked him what assurance he could give about his
successor in 2009, President Bush replied, "we'll fix it so he'll be
locked in."

The visitor left perplexed and wondered whether that might mean the
U.S. would be in a wider war in the region by then.

In any event, it didn't sound like twilight time for Mr. Bush.

A Texan friend of longstanding called on him recently and confided to
his Washington hosts that Mr. Bush had said three times, bringing a
clenched fist to his chest, "I'm the president."

Reminding visiting political opponents of this would be normal, but
the close friend said he was a taken aback a bit as he had never
before seen Mr. Bush in this mode."

What these close friends see is a madman on the edge, a delusional
paranoid whose brain is fried by too many years of hard drinking and
probably too much cocaine up his nose.

Compared to Bush, Richard M. Nixon appears sane and stone cold sober.

Hell, history will probably cast legendary drunk Ulysses S. Grant as a
President more in control of himself.

Not only is he wrapped up in the aura of "I'm the President," but he
is now determined that anyone who follows him will have to live with
his legacy of lies, deceit and despair - his failed war in Iraq, his
cancer on "our country's destiny."

The fate of this nation - and indeed the fate of the world - may well
depend on the deranged mind of a truly insane President of the United
States.
