Default The mental health of our President

Many have called in with a preliminary diagnosis, most likely not done by a professional psychologist with everything from sociopath to narcissism.

It's a given that if you want to be President, you must be crazy.

I don't think that George W. Bush is seriously mentally ill. I've often wondered about the contrast between his high intelligence and his poor public speaking ability. He doesn't seem to be afraid of public speaking, so I think he is at least borderline ADD. Of course, some of the actions of the current administration have been insane, but its my subjective and unprovable opinion that Bush has often listened to downright crazy advisers on many of his most important decisions. If there is a mental disorder that consists of trusting advice too much, I think that Bush has that.

I know I'm not exactly fit to judge the mental health of others, so in retrospect, I can see how my speculations are amusing. I was being serious when I made my above post, however.

It had nothing to do with you, your post just kind of made Bush sound a little flippy.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does "flippy" mean in this context?

It's just a slang, It sounds like Bush isn't playing with a full deck.

Get in! I've got everything it takes to be President (apart from the nationality). Does it matter that I inhaled?
