I suspect the country just
doesn't understand Texans. Texas is bigger, and Texans are better --
you've just got to understand that going in. :-)

I don't understand Texans, but

Mr. Bush strikes me exactly as any number of colorful, playful, Texan
country folk I have known.

Bush strikes me as a silver-spoon in
the mouth type, with very little understanding or empathy for others.

I don't get that at all. To me he's folksy, and down-to-earth,
direct in a way that city folk and aristocrats find uncouth.

My mom feels the same as you. But she's so against war of any kind,
for any reason, that Mr. Bush can do nothing right in her eyes.
Because of the war she hates every aspect of him, and everything
associated with or close to him. She hates all his proposals. She
hates his house. She hates his staff, his suit, even his haircut. She
thinks he invaded to establish a Christian theocracy in Iraq...and the
US, and fears he might succeed!

Has he done anything right in your eyes?

More of a Marie Antoinette type, I suppose. And definitely seeing
himself in a god-sent role.

But doesn't every other religious person think the same, that they're
here for a reason, whatever that reason might be?

The President is religious. And he's open about it. And, unlike his
opponents and predecessors, he really means it. I don't think that
makes him bad, or overly scary. We have separation of church and
state, and plenty of checks and balances.

Best,
James Arthur
