Bush's Obscene Tirades Rattle White House Aides

While President George W. Bush travels around the country in a last-ditch effort to sell his Iraq war, White House aides scramble frantically behind the scenes to hide the dark mood of an increasingly angry leader who unleashes obscenity-filled outbursts at anyone who dares disagree with him.
“I’m not meeting again with that XXXXXXXXX XXXXX,” Bush screamed at aides who suggested he meet again with Cindy Sheehan, the war-protesting mother whose son died in Iraq. “She can go to XXXX as far as I’m concerned!”
Bush XXXXXXX the XXXX, something aides say he does often and has been doing since his days as governor of Texas.
Bush, administration aides confide, frequently explodes into tirades over those who protest the war, calling them “XXXXXXXXXXXXXX traitors.” He reportedly was so upset over Veterans of Foreign Wars members who wore “XXXXXXXX protectors” over their ears during his speech to their annual convention that he told aides to “tell those VFW XXXXXXXX that I’ll never speak to them again is they can’t keep their members under control.”
White House insiders say Bush is growing increasingly bitter over mounting opposition to his war in Iraq. Polls show a vast majority of Americans now believe the war was a mistake and most doubt the President’s honesty.
“Who XXXXX XX XXXXXX XXXX what the polls say,” he screamed at a recent strategy meeting. “I’m the President and I’ll do whatever I XXXXXXXXX please. They don’t XXXX XXXX.”
Bush, whiles setting up for a photo op for signing the recent CAFTA bill, XXXXXXXX an XXXXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX to reporters. Aides say the President often “XXXXX XXX XXXX” to show his displeasure and tells aides who disagree with him to “XX XX XXXX” or to “XX XXXX XXXXXXXX.” His habit of XXXXXX XXXXXX XXX XXXXXX goes back to his days as Texas governor, aides admit, and videos of him doing so before press conferences were widely circulated among TV stations during those days. A recent video showing him XXXXXXXX XXX XXXXXX to reporters while walking also recently surfaced.
Bush’s behavior, according to prominent Washington psychiatrist, Dr. Justin Frank, author of “Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President,” is all too typical of an alcohol-abusing bully who is ruled by fear.
To see that fear emerges, Dr. Frank says, all one has to do is confront the President. “To actually directly confront him in a clear way, to bring him out, so you would really see the bully, and you would also see the fear,” he says.
Dr. Frank, in his book, speculates that Bush, an alcoholic who brags that he gave up booze without help from groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, XXX XX XXXXXXX again.
“Two questions that the press seems particularly determined to ignore have hung silently in the air since before Bush took office,” Dr. Frank says. “Is he still drinking? And if not, is he impaired by all the years he did spend drinking? Both questions need to be addressed in any serious assessment of his psychological state.”
Last year, Capitol Hill Blue learned the White House physician prescribed anti-depressant drugs for the President to control what aides called “violent mood swings.” As Dr. Frank also notes: “In writing about Bush's halting appearance in a press conference just before the start of the Iraq War, Washington Post media critic Tom Shales speculated that ‘the president may have been ever so slightly medicated.’”
Dr. Frank explains Bush’s behavior as all-to-typical of an alcoholic who is still in denial:
“The pattern of blame and denial, which recovering alcoholics work so hard to break, seems to be ingrained in the alcoholic personality; it's rarely limited to his or her drinking,” he says. “The habit of placing blame and denying responsibility is so prevalent in George W. Bush's personal history that it is apparently triggered by even the mildest threat.”

I have said all along that bush is a baby Christian who could be losing the civil war
that is raging inside his mind and clearly
his workout addiction takes the place of
past addictions but with a workout addiction
sooner or later your body breaks down or you
have an accident...of course he needs our prayers
but imho he needs to talk to somebody. imho
Although heavily edited the salient point is
we should be concerned and hope and pray he gets
some help either through spiritual miracle or
medical psychiatry under the eye of a Sovereign
God.
