Saith Rex Hammock, upon meeting the President:

He is definitely not a wonk, but he knows clearly what he believes needs to happen for the country and its eocnomy to prosper. I don’t think the circular arguments regarding “what ifs” and “what abouts” interest him.

Rexblog is kind of neat, actually — he’s a small business owner in the magazine industry. I like the focused special interest blogs that never get any attention most of the time. And I like publishing.

Gotta say, though. Bush doesn’t like what ifs and what abouts, huh? Who’d’ve guessed?

I think this is one of the things I dislike the most about Bush's public persona: this forced familiarity thing. It seems unprofessional and anti-intellectual in a very calculated way, purely for image. In fact, I'd be even more worried if calling people "Hammock Man" wasn't a calculated move. I also don't necessarily believe that a President should be cold and distant from those he works with, but jeez, would some decorum hurt?

I dunno. I think people should take him up on it and call him "Chimpy" or "Dumbo".

We've certainly come a long way from "Some see things as they are and ask 'why'. I see things as they never were and ask 'why not'." None of that for this preznit.
