It's not that he's a doomer, or even an idiot.

He's just irrelevant.

I dunno about doomer, he is a PoS and a SoB for sure. :x

What he says doesn't matter. But his actions like buying up water
rights qualifies him as an uber-doomer.

Bush Buys 99,000 Acre Compound On Aquifer in . . . Paraguay

And Cheney is definite doomer material...

I think a lot of the top guys are doomers...

And Vice President Dick Cheney spoken about resource

words peak oil, not his style. And of course President G. W. Bush
knows Matthew Simmons, so I'm sure he's heard about it.

Evangelicals are the ultimate doomers. They believe endtimes are upon us.

Who knows? I think all those little talks with Dick Cheney about what DC has planned and is doing might be getting GWB a little confused and depressed.

He does not know the word.
He would maybe have been a good farm hand, instead he played president, but now it's too late, retirement.

Lets Review:

- Preaches PO
- Has a Doomstead
- Is openly engaging in Resource Wars
- Is executing an economic Samson to demolish potential rivals

I think he is a serious doomer. Like Rocc, only playing for keeps.

bush is not an evangelical, he's an occultist in disguise.

i'm sure he's a doomer for us, but i don't think he loses any sleep when it comes to his own prospects.

+1 Idiom hits the nail on the head! Bush/Cheney are true peak oil believers.

You can keep calling names and disregard the facts. Just say "Yes We Can" and pull the lever for Nobama! lol

Yall are so concerned with demonstrating that Bush is a moron; that you fail to observe what he DOES. What he does has shown a perfect execution of a doom preparedness program. Whether he babbles like an idiot on purpose, or by nature, is irrelevant.

Simple fact; he has prepared for a PO meltdown better than probably just about everyone posting here. And to be honest, he's given occassional warnings to those who might listen that perhaps oil will NOT be cheap and plentiful forever.
