Understanding Bush is not that hard if you try. One merely has to take into account his family history and the words he uses.
His Grandfather, Prescott Bush, was a tire salesmen helped into a postion (after marriage)) at Brown Brothers Harriman where he laundered money for the Nazis. Later his assets were frozen by the U.S Government. There were allegations that he was involved in a plot to overthrow FDR and our government in favor of a fascist regime. He was obviously angered that our government could do such things like "freeze assets" for "trading with the enemy." He was a social climber and elitist that did not hold the values of average Americans.
President Bush was quoted as saying "Don't misunderestimate me." Most people laughed at his obvious grammar, but what he meant was "You cannot estimate how despicable I can be." Look at the pictures of him, especially 9/11 when he was supposed to be "surprised."

Where did you get your information? For the record FDR was praised by Mussolini for his governing and was as close to a facist as we've ever had.
