Governments USA

George W. Bush
With his job-approval ratings drastically dropping for handling domestic woes and the increasingly unpopular Iraq war, President Bush nevertheless persists on “staying the course” - disconnected from reality. Mr. Bush’s display of inconsistencies, indifference, and denial to the deteriorating circumstances of America - domestically and internationally - raises serious questions about his mental state and his abilities to continue as a leader of a nation.

According to his book, Bush on the Couch: Inside the Mind of the President (New York: HarperCollins, 2004), and two subsequent interviews on July 26, 2004 and Jan. 20, 2005 with Executive Intelligence Review, Dr. Justin Frank presented an alarming revelation - Bush has multiple mental illnesses. Once headed the Washington Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility, Dr. Frank is a leading psychoanalyst who teaches at George Washington University Medical Center. In 2002, he became concerned about Bush’s abnormal behavior. Using applied psychoanalysis, a scientific method of studying historical figures and foreign leaders, Dr. Frank reached his conclusions based on massive amounts of public documentation - autobiographical and biographical accounts, public video footage of the President, and statements by Bush’s associates and relatives. This is the first case study of applied psychoanalysis on a sitting president.

Dr. Frank diagnosed the President suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD); an Oedipal Complex; untreated and uncured alcoholism (“dry drunk"); paranoia; sadism; psychical reality; and a megalomania complex. He keenly observed that Bush throughout his entire life has been struggling to manage his anxiety. It is through various ways of managing anxiety that Bush has revealed his psychoses. Dr. Frank explained, “...[1] first to manage anxiety is through alcohol. But, by being a born-again Christian, [2] he can also manage anxiety by being connected to God, by feeling that he’ll be saved in any kind of a rapture, by feeling that he’s always on the side of the Good...[3] to make other people anxious, so he can project his anxiety into the rest of us...[4] to simplify things; to divide the world, his own inner world, into good and bad, into black and white...[5] to be cruel to other people, by making them anxious, and by gratifying your own sense of power to compensate for feeling helpless...[6] to become detached from the consequences of his behavior.”

Erratic Behavior

White House aides have been increasingly worried about Bush’s wide mood swings and tirades. They report obscene outbursts, cancelled meetings and a shrinking number of aides who have direct access to Bush. According to Capitol Hill Blue, Col. Richard J. Tubb, the White House physician, has prescribed anti-depressant drugs for Bush to control his erratic behavior, depression and paranoia.

Untreated alcoholism

It is known that Bush is an admitted alcoholic, although he never sought treatment in a formal program, and that his allegedly cocaine abuse in the earlier years haunted his campaigns for Texas governorship and for his first-term presidency. When Bush turned 40 years old, he substituted religion for alcohol, which is common among untreated alcoholics. Since 2001, the White House has tried to dispel the rumors that Bush is back on the bottle by claiming that Bush’s recurring facial bruises, bodily injuries, and loss of consciousness had been caused by falling off his bike or choking on a pretzel.

Hearing God’s Voice?

In Bob Woodward’s book, Plan of Attack (Simon & Schuster, 2004), Bush confessed to Woodward that he asked God for advice before starting the Iraq war and that God wanted him to be president. And the White House promoted this very book when it came out in print. In a recent BBC documentary series, Palestinian Prime Minister Abu Mazen, and his Foreign Minister, Nabil Shaath, recounted their first meeting with President Bush in June 2003, when Bush declared that God had told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq and to solve the problem in the Middle East.

Paranoia

It has become a standard practice for Bush to search and screen everybody and everything whenever he appears at a town meeting or in a public building in the United States. His photo-ops had often been choreographed and prepared beforehand because he was so afraid of having any questions or comments that might have disagreed with him. Bush’s paranoia heightened when he demanded the Chilean government to screen invited guests (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit leaders) to a dinner for weapons before entering the presidential palace on November 21, 2004. To placate Bush, President Ricardo Lagos of Chile “disinvited” more than 200 guests, according to New York Times (Nov. 22, 2004).

Streak of Sadism

Although Bush often portrayed himself as a compassionate conservative, his actions have proven otherwise - indifference to human suffering. When he was a child, he used firecrackers to explode frogs. At the annual Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner in March 2003, Bush made jokes about the failure to find the weapons of mass destruction, while tens of thousands of Iraqis and a thousand American soldiers died by his lies about WMD. Although the Pentagon tried to pin the sadistic tortures at Abu Ghraib on a handful of undisciplined soldiers, it’s now obvious that Bush, as the Commander-in-Chief, had approved the systematic brutal tortures to be carried out in prisons throughout Afghanistan, Iraq and in Guantanamo Bay. More recently, the U.S. Senate approved 90-9 a bill banning military and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to use torture, nevertheless, a presidential waiver has been proposed in that bill to allow the CIA to continue to do so on foreign detainees in U.S. custody outside the United States.

Disconnected from Reality

Dr. Frank’s assessment of Bush’s psychical reality and megalomania complex has been made credible by the President’s recent actions in dealing with the Hurricane Katrina disaster, the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, and talks of not ruling out military actions against Iran and Syria - the former accused of developing nuclear weapons and the latter suspected of harboring terrorists.

As for the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe, Bush would always be remembered for two candid shots - a photo of him laughing and playing a guitar at a speaking event in California the day after New Orleans nearly submerged under water; and a video of him viewing the hurricane-ravaged area on Air Force One, while people below were crying for help and dying.

Even with the recent debacle of Hurricane Katrina’s relief efforts managed by his cronies’ Michael Brown of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Michael Chertoff of Homeland Security, President Bush nominated another crony, Harriet Miers, who lacks experience as a judge, to the highest court of the land - the Supreme Court. He’s not only mocking other prominent sitting Supreme Court judges with years of experience, but also attempting to degrade the judicial system of the United States. Under severe criticisms from Congress - both Democrats and Republicans - Miers withdrew from her nomination a few days ago.

It’s now known that Bush had lied to the Congress and the public into a war with Iraq based on false evidence of Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction and of Iraq being a terrorist state threatening the U.S. Yet, Bush and his henchmen are now using the same accusations to incite war with Iran and Syria.

Grandiose Schemes

Dr. Frank points out that Bush’s condition will get worse because a megalomaniac person wants to control more things and challenge more traditions to feed his desperation to manage anxiety.

On the domestic front, Bush has tried to push for Social Security reform even though the program is working well; introduced Intelligent Design to be taught in classrooms as an alternative to the scientific theory of evolution; and (ironically) launched a nationwide mental illness screening program in government institutions, including all public school students from kindergarten to the 12th grade.

On the international front, Bush has claimed that he is trying to spread democracy in the Middle East (by military force) and that he’s campaigning for a global war against terrorism (an enemy without an army, nation, or borders).

From what we have seen of Bush for more than four and a half years, could we honestly say he’s fit to be the President of the United States? And could we realistically say he’s good for America, for the world, and for humanity? In Dr. Frank’s warning words, “Bush will not stop of his own choosing. He will only have to be stopped.” And Bush can be stopped by invoking the constitutional Twenty-fifth Amendment - removal of a sitting president for his inability to conduct presidential duties.

  • Isn’t there some provision for the removal of the president when he is no longer competent to do his job, due to madness, illness, etc. Of course, he has never been competent to do the job due to stupidity, but that is a horse of a different colour...

    • Sorry, I posted before I read the last paragraph.

    • Bush is more than just a neo-conservaticve president. He is primarily an illuminatist, a satanist sympathiser and an antichrist preparer.
      The Puppet Masters are steering Bush and thereby the world economy to the events predicted in Revelations. The ’System of Things’ (New World Order) foreseen in the prophecies of Daniel, Ezekiel, Isiah, the writings of Paul and St John The Divine are being played out with Bush playing a key role. The Beast.......has come to wage to war with the world........will rise in the sea of Politics.........Is this Bush????????? Watch this space! Told you so!

  • Saying that this individual is unstable is like pointing out that Stalin had poor manners.

    This man is clearly a sociopath, with delusional and grandiose thinking. When he says he hears from god, he is not literally hearing voices, but believes his own inner voice is that of god. All these other aspects of his behaviour are just secondary to his character defects. While in a healthy person the infantilism and drug use would be a mental disorder, in someone as profoundly disturbed as this, these are likely just manifestations of a disordered personality and reflect his core sociapathy and megalomania. A person like this will stop at nothing, because they can justify their actions through progressively worsening delusions of righteousness and self-importance.

    Megalomaniacs do not trust people because they feel no one can understand them. They isolate themselves from the ideas of others rationalized by their superiority complex. This is acutally quite logical; why read the newspaper when you have a direct line to god? They usually surround themselves with a very small group of highly loyal sycophants.

    The current situation is a grave one for the world, because when someone like this feels insulted and cornered, their behaviour is likely to become increasingly unstable and Machiavellian. The fact that he is being thwarted and flagging in the polls is likely to have the same effect as in the cliche serial killer show on telly where they publish something insulting to provoke the killer into action. It would not be beyond the realm of possibility to see him become more desparate, start another war, or launch an unprovoked attack.

    This is a very dangerous and delusional person who believes in the Rapture, and has control of an extensive arsenal of thermonuclear warheads. The world should be very, very worried.

    • Why all of the complicated and complex analysis of Bush? The guy is a cocaine addict and cocaine addicts display every one of these symptoms classically....these are all 100% positive signs for cocaine addiction...why try to make excuses for the common criminal? Why try to excuse it as purely mental illness? The truth is that he is just an ordinary coke head nothing special about that. But he should be forced into treatment, as well as arrested for his crimes like anyone else would be. How is this jerk above the laws all of the time? He should be forced to take a random drug test like anyone else who is a low level government employee....then the excuse making would come to a screeching halt and the explaination as to why this derilect is so disfunctional, why he can’t even talk without trouble, why he thinks there is a terrorist under every bed, why he has visions of grandure and delusions of God talking to him would be apparent......the guy is just a freak and a very dangerous one because of the power he holds over the country. He needs to be stopped before he pushes the wrong buttons.

    • "Bush’s Mental State Should Concern the World"

      American’s Mental State Does Concern the World! They wonder why Americans allow this crook and his cronies to remain in office. They wonder what must they be thinking? Some of us Americans wonder too, how could ANYONE support Bush staying in office after what he has and is doing to our country? Why do American people support someone who commits crimes against humanity, and the environment, and the peace, advocates more "NUKULAR" weapons be developed, has emptied out the national treasury into the pockets of his cronies and family, brings shame to our country, and is dividing our country to the point of a citizen’s war, would impose his religion on everyone against what the founding fathers wrote a constitution for and about and was the reason people fled Europe to form a new country for, has never helped retain the citizens jobs or economy, just to name some of the terrible things he is doing to us all.

  • the american people do not support bush ... nor did they elect him twice ... and it is just that the population is exactly where the germans were when they also saw what was happening ... and have also found it easier to remain quiet and go to work and pay their bills and try to raise their families and hang out with their friends ... you know camp fires on the beach, volley ball, halloween parties etc.

    and maybe it will all go away or at least they will live long enough to see the end of it.

    • Democracy is not a passive pursuit. If Americans cared about the state of their Republic, they would be in the streets, on general strike, or demanding change. While there have been signs of change in recent months, a cynic could say that it’s only because it is costing them more to fill up their gas-guzzling SUVs. Meanwhile a virulent cabal is grabbing the reins of power for all 3 branches of government, while controlling the media as well. If the only thing that will get people off their off their sofas is higher petrol prices, I hope it hits $25 a gallon!

  • G.W. Bush appears to me to have bipolar disorder (manic-depressive disorder). Few people with the condition ever have the powers and the opportunities required to use the world stage to play out their fantasies; but Bush has.

    He may also be consuming a great deal of caffeine - which of course sounds very tame compared to illegal substance abuse. Yet a steady intake of far too much caffeine can all by itself wreak havoc on moods. Add that to bipolar mood swings in one who believes he has every right to harness the world as his own toy, and you have what we have been seeing in Bush.
