Letter: Bush totally incompetent as president
Friday, Aug. 10, 2001 | 10:05 a.m.
George W. Bush, as president, is on the wrong page, wrong chapter and not even looking in the same book as the rest of the country or even the rest of the world.
He started with the ill-conceived budget, followed by the hastily drawn up tax cutting proposal that he sent to Congress. He then had his chief hatchet man, Dick Cheney, huddle with his major financial contributors to draw up an energy plan geared to line their pockets.
Now with the Israeli-Palestinian area about to erupt into a conflict, which could conceivably ignite World War III, he takes off for a one-month vacation on his Texas ranch. He appears and continues to act like he is in a different world, disconnected from reality.
George W. claims he has a vision and plan for America, but what is it? He finds time to play golf, while ignoring the pressing problems of the nation and the United States' role as a leader of world peace and justice. The stock markets continue to decline, businesses file for bankruptcy and the dollar is sure to fall on the world market.
He just seems to be oblivious of everything and everyone. If he does not want to be an active, engaged president, he should resign. If he is incapable of being president, Congress should "impeach" him as incompetent.
