Bush's infallibility
I am concerned that the absolute sense of infallibility many people witness existing in George W. Bush will lead to greater disasters in a second Bush administration. See this quote from Ron Suskind as well as read his complete column publiished in the New York Times.
"The disdainful smirks and grimaces that many viewers were surprised to see in the first presidential debate are familiar expressions to those in the administration or in Congress who have simply asked the president to explain his positions. Since 9/11, those requests have grown scarce; Bush's intolerance of doubters has, if anything, increased, and few dare to question him now. A writ of infallibility - a premise beneath the powerful Bushian certainty that has, in many ways, moved mountains - is not just for public consumption: it has guided the inner life of the White House."
