The darkest days of his presidency

And let's hope the longest days, months, and years too.

Bush apparently is not a happy camper anymore. He's getting a taste of the "hard work" he's always just talking about. He's like a spoiled brat who's been enjoying life for four years, while other people were doing all the work; now, all of a sudden, those people have either screwed things up or are sick of fixing Bush's messes and are telling him he's got to start pulling his weight. And that's what pisses him off most. You mean he actually has to work, not just pretend he is? Holy crap! That wasn't part of the deal!!

He just doesn't want to be in charge anymore. He doesn't care anymore.

Facing the darkest days of his presidency, President Bush is frustrated, sometimes angry and even bitter, his associates say.
...
"He's like the lion in winter," observed a political friend of Bush. "He's frustrated. He remains quite confident in the decisions he has made. But this is a guy who wanted to do big things in a second term. Given his nature, there's no way he'd be happy about the way things have gone."
...
Presidential advisers and friends say Bush is a mass of contradictions: cheerful and serene, peevish and melancholy, occasionally lapsing into what he once derided as the "blame game." They describe him as beset but unbowed, convinced that history will vindicate the major decisions of his presidency even if they damage him and his party in the 2006 and 2008 elections.

He's totally delusional. Does he really think history will look at him positively? He's already considered one of the worst presidents ever, if not THE ABSOLUTE WORST, so I don't think he'll be regarded as a good one down the road. Yes, Reagan and Clinton had their detractors in the opposite party too, but Bush has detractors in his own ranks now. That's much worse to overcome.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised to find out he actually has started drinking again. And it would suit him right, if you ask me.
