A few thoughts: For starters, I believe GWB has all of the emotional insecurities of a 14 year old boy. He spent his formative years with an aloof & absentee father and a disapproving, detached mother. Both parents strike me as somewhat less than warm, nurturing caregivers. Also, he seems to me as harbouring very hostile feelings toward both, as well as fearing & loathing his mother while also feeling a sadistic resentment towards his father. As he grew into his 20's, he used most or all of his mental abilities developing skills in such behaviour traits as deception, lying, scheming, all the while his barely-repress'd hostilities towards his parents deepened. To say he didn't respect them would be a gross understatement. He's never felt he had to exhibit any real feelings of sincerity or compassion, so he has no skills in those areas. Eventually, as he grew up, his psyche settled into something resembling a borderline sociopathic...except for his barely controlled anger, always just below the surface. He's a manipulator, a conniving back-stabber, a black-hearted narcissist without a remorseful bone in his body. He respects nothing. Not exactly the best kind of person to have as a President. Those are a few of my thoughts on the man.
