This Sounds About Right (Quote)

Remember now, as you read this, that less than 30% of the populace supports President Bush...

"Psychologically, President Bush has received support for so long because many have thought of him as 'one of us,' Most of us feel inadequate in some way, and watching him we can feel his inadequacies and sense his uncertainties, so we admire him for 'pulling it off' . . . We are the culture that values the power of positive thinking and seeks assertiveness training. We believe that the right attitude can sometimes be more important than brains or hard work. . . , We don't dare to really confront the scale of his incompetent behavior."

---Psychiatrist John P. Briggs and author J. R Briggs II, "Bush and the Psychology of Incompetent Decisions," www.truthout.org, January 26,2007
