The job is "so much more onerous" than Bush expected

another way to look at it is "dry drunk..."

[T]he President we’re seeing these days is a completely different man.

He has, of course, a lot of reasons to be depressed – no point in enumerating them, you know what they are. But most of all, I think he’s depressed because the job has turned out to be so much more onerous than he expected – he said as much to a friend of mine in September. “You have no idea,” he said, “how hard these five years have been.” This is a fairly breathtaking remark given the number of people who, thanks to this president, are now dead as a result of his five years in the Oval Office, but never mind.

i've never placed a lot of faith in bush's mental stability... anyone who can be so mean, so vindictive, so utterly devoid of compassion, so completely disinterested in anyone but himself, can't possibly have a lot going for him in the serenity department...
