Here in Florida we've had close exposure to Jeb Bush, who all in all, turned out to be not a bad governor. He presumably also survived "the look" without too much damage. No I think Dubya's problem was not emotional, or even intellectual. I was ideological. Unlike any President we've ever had (with the exception of Reagan) Dubya was handicapped by a rigid ideological psychology that made him inflexible, impervious to criticism or even advice from outside his own circle of like minded ideologues. Even Reagan was able to bend when his common sense told him that his policies, for whatever reason, were not working. I don't believe GWB is capable of admitting that you can do the right thing and it still might not work. And he will never admit that maybe, just maybe, he doesn't know the right thing.
