Bush's Political Philsophy

From an interview transcript:

Asked about continued political challenges such as Iraq and Social Security, Bush said he doesn't care about the polls. Q But power is perception. THE PRESIDENT: Power is being the President.
Or as he put it on December 19, 2000:
"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator."
Is there anybody who still thinks he was joking when he said that?

    There's always truth in humor.

    But in Bush's case, I think it was what Miller describes in the Dyslexicon. A feudal lord's arrogance masked by a skeleton's smile.
