    Decider

    Isn't "decider" a real word? Why are people giving Bush grief about using it?

    Because it is an uncontextual word.

    They're giving him a hard time because he's supposed to represent the people, but he's blatently telling the people that he is the one in charge. We use humor to hide our fear.

    Because half of the left wing tree molesters can't pronounce nuclear proliferation either.
    "And most of the evils of society can, in fact, be cured through information. We have a society that has been disinformed and based on the disinformation has made irrational choices. And that's what I mean by 'ignorance.' People, who ordinarily might be smart, are deprived of the data by which to make a rational decision, don't have the data to do it."

    I doubt thats the reason.

    I think the real reason is that the word "decider" sounds awkward in the sentence he uses, even though it is correct. People are so used to Bush making errors that they automatically assumed "decider" is a made up word.
