American presidents are expendable - what do you think elections do? Longer
terms possible in congress are preferable for the purpose of long-term
law-mongering, the "work" of professional politicians - lobbying does the
talking, and legislation is the architecture of social order and political
identity. Democratic political economy itself can have no central political
apex without contradicting democratic ideals.
Social contracts are mutual.
It is common for naive nationalists to uncritically and nostalgically
conflate George W. Bush's inspirationally divisive, ship-sinks-with-its-captain
ignorance with its historical precedent: the patently non-American
authoritative model of a (monarchistic) prestigious demagogue linked
intrinsically to historically-generative/generated ideological superstructure
of legitimation. Bush is then a surrogate for the indignation of
anti-egalitarian militants, the reactive analogue of Islamist terror leaders.
Let an American non-democrat remind you: Bush is not the State. Nor is any
president. The State has discredited Bush because he has discredited the State.
"My" president: possessive case, or possessed by one's case?
All preponderant politicians are disingenuous at worst and megalomaniacal at
best, and necessarily demonstrate messianic tendencies. Otherwise, the
political agent's unequivocal nucleic authoritative stability would in effect
be precluded by self-reflexive-ambivalent discourse, testing the faith of the
constituency and promoting popular alteration to state paradigms.
In Bush's defense, he is known to necessarily poke fun at his own
shortcomings, but his performance of the character of 'president' is hopelessly
unsupported by his political-economic experience. The extent of his reflexivity
is self-preserving in strategic purpose, not Machiavellian leave that to
Cheney.
America is negatively represented by the figure of the person Bush - an
ersatz rancher and corporate refugee. History will do the insulting that any
one critic can only idly iterate.
