Sounds like someone is having a temper tantrum because he can't get his way on everything. When the world is so black and white place and you don't do nuance, frustration is bound to kick in.
But a survey of transcripts from Bush's public remarks over the past seven years shows the president's worsening political predicament has actually stoked, rather than diminished, his desire to proclaim what he cannot abide. Some presidential scholars and psychologists describe the trend as a signpost of Bush's rising frustration with his declining influence.Read on because this is an especially interesting read on Bush's choice of words during his national political life. Maybe the next president will go back to old fashioned ideas such as diplomacy and nuance.
In the first nine months of this year, Bush declared more than twice as many events or outcomes "unacceptable" or "not acceptable" as he did in all of 2005, and nearly four times as many as he did in 2004. He is, in fact, at a presidential career high in denouncing events he considers intolerable. They number 37 so far this year, as opposed to five in 2003, 18 in 2002 and 14 in 2001.
