Bush is on tv right now.

agreed, but remember he is talking to a bunch of his fellow elephants...

not days, but weeks...i think by the middle of march we will see the united states and a few other allies being the war on the iraqi regime.

 

Right, I'm sure you know more about the situation in Iraq than the government does.

Listening to him speak, I am again reminded of how uneducated he comes across as. His vocabulary is very limited, he has trouble keeping longer sentences coherent, he cannot make a point without using a cliche and he tends to repeat himself.

I mean, anything multisylabic he says sounds like a phrase out of a political pamphlet. To think, I used to see personal letters written by a US president in my English textbooks at Uni. Of course, it was Jefferson, but it still shows how low we've sunk.

 

I fascinated at how many people rib at his speech making skills. Does it really matter. WInston Churchill stuttered. Would you value more his speaking and lack of articulate ability or his leadership skills?

 

this speech is certainly sounding like a precursor to war...

 

Don't forget to get your picks in for the when do we attack pool.

C'mon Bush, just hold out until Saturday. I got March 1!

 

the same people who think our billion dollar debt is going to disappear with increased military spending, the cost of a war, rebuilding of iraq, and giving away tax cuts...

 

"We're going to create democracy in Asia by going to war against Japan? How on earth is ANYONE stupid and/or gullible enough to believe this will happen?"

Churchill may have stuttered, but he spoke in an educated, eloquent manner, at least when he wanted to. I mean, the man DID win the Nobel Prize, which is something we'll never be able to say for Bush, unless they introduce a Nobel War Prize. I find your comparison of the two insulting, somewhere along the lines of comparing Mozart to
Shaq.

The way someone speaks is indicative of the way they think and the level of intelligence they possess. Intelligent men express themselves in an intelligent manner, it's as simple as that.

 

Gentlemen, I'm by no means comparing the two. I'm saying, why lean on his speech skill, or lack there of, when deriding him?

More importantly does his lack of fluency really matter?

 

Like I said, though, it's usually an indication of one's thought patterns. If Bush's comprehension of, say, the Iraq situation, is no different than what he says about it, then we're all fvcked.

 

So you'd feel better if BillyBoy was smooth talking us through all this?

 

If the guy was speaking off the cuff then you might have a point, maybe, but he's reading prepared speeches. Ever occur to you that maybe he just isn't a good public speaker?


Alex

 

Actually, I take that back, you don't have a point either way.

 

LOL yet they insisted Clinton's pot smoking was troubling! Gotta love it.

 

"You want some dirt on Bush?? How about this: On January 23, 1980, George W. Bush did 3 lines of cocaine and drank an entire bottle of tequila. How do I know? Because I was there."
