Bush in real-time, without the bubble

it's not often we get a close look at dear leader in action... the iht, describing bush at the summit of the americas in mar del plata, argentina...

[T]he president of the United States is not in charge when he is one among many big-winded leaders and another nation's guest.

When reporters told Stephen Hadley, Bush's national security adviser, that they hadn't heard Bush say much about his proposed trade deal, Hadley replied, to some laughter, "You didn't hear President Bush much talk about anything."

On Friday in Mar del Plata, a vacation spot of high-rises, brown sand beaches and a big casino, Bush could be seen walking alone, while other leaders moved in noisy knots, toward the spot on a seaside plaza where participants in the Summit of the Americas posed for a group picture.

looks to me like a sad, lonely, increasingly isolated guy that doesn't have the intellectual horsepower to engage with his fellow leaders...
