All politicians have handlers. Most senior executives in business have handlers. They do things like ensure that their boss stays on topic, understands the topic they are staying on. They are simply managers. Having a handler is a good thing.

If this were not the case, and he actually had someone whispering in his ear, what her should say, he would probably be a much more polised speaker, than he is.

Well hey, I know that up here if you want something done in the Veterans' Group Circles, you talk to the Sgt-at-Arms. The organizational Presidents are 'handled', mostly to maintain consistency and group longevity.
Being accountable and on top of everything does necessitate handlers. The Commander in Chief just cannot be expected to know the service number, gas mask size, and blood type of millions servicemen.
Then add foreign and domestic policy to his plate. He's a busy guy. We are getting a heck of a bargain paying him only $400K.
How well he actually does the job is subjective to history. Look at John Kerry, his handlers have done a **** poor job altogether. His handlers blew what should have been a cake walk election.

What in the Hell are ya'll talkin' 'bout?
"Excuse me?" "What in the hell are ya'll talkin' 'bout? What was the subject? Did I miss something? More than likely. Somebody tell me the original subject matter, and maybe we can stay on it? That is....."The subject at hand, whatever it might be?" Help me out here Maggot's, it's my birthday, "was it, 4 rounds of Jose Cuervo?" Oh well, fill me in, I'd like to yakk a bit. LOL....

mlurtsema, I am well aware of the type of handlers you're talking about- I happen to be one of them. But, you know, as well as I do, that this type of thing isn't what the article was talking about. They were implying that Bush doesnt' make his own decisions and that he is just a puppet, and that is total BS.

In my humble opinion, I think that no one should serve more than two terms. I would make the terms 5 years and have ALL elections on the same day (Save time & money). As for the parties, there ain’t much difference in the entire lot. The only reason I’m a Republican is for the Pro- Family & Pro-Military stance. As for spending money, both the Reps & the Dems are a bunch of *****s who would do or say anything for a vote. I am fairly sick of ALL of them. What ever happened to the second greatest document of all time, the US Constitution?

This is how liberty dies-to thunderous applause
I am reminded that the studies of R. G. LeTourneau show that the average age of the world's great governments has been 200 years, and that the general steps through which they progressed and regressed were: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from abundance to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; and from dependency back again to bondage.
If the above is taken as a statement of natural law, then we are doomed. However, history records that early civilizations have often responded to a challenge and then gone on to a higher plane. In other words, the expression is cyclic in character with different degrees of amplitude and different frequencies. My faith in the underlying character of the American people persuades me that, despite periods of weak leadership, we will check the downswing before it is too late.

Well, if all we are going to do is put quotes on this board then have some of these.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it
Aristotle
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
Winston Churchill
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Albert Einstein
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Original thought, instead of copied thought, may be the key to ones true happiness instead of paranoia!
Pamela Jacobs
Just a few of my own thoughts!

The fact is no one remembers that before every thing started (the war) 99% of the Democrats were opposed to the war and most 97% still are, they secretly met with the Muslims, to plot a way to stop the war they also gave advise to them.
