Lol, I'm with you there. I'm not sure I've ever heard an off the cuff remark from Bush where he didn't stumble and mispronounce half the words.

I love that skit on Saturday Night Live where they mock the debates. They guy playing Kerry says something like "I'm not a flip fopper. It's called pandering. The country needs a President who knows the difference."
Interesting how people associate articulation with intelligence. They don't have to go hand in hand.
Someone mentioned they couldn't believe people would vote for someone without combat experiance. Uhm...Clinton never served, so he had no combat experiance.

Just because one person can articulate himself better doesn't necessarily mean that much. President Bush is put under fire a lot because he resembles any other normal being I know who stutters, slurs, and mixes words up. Everytime Bush does something slightly human he is put in the light as something much less than the rest of us.
Who cares if he can't articulate himself as well, what matters are the actual policies of his platform, much less how he says it. Many people these days are missing the whole entire point of democracy, voting for who they like better rather than who is better fit for the job. (This doesn't necessarily mean that I am for Bush, but I didn't vote so I can't really ***** about who's there)

i agree...bush is one of the dumbest people i have ever heard attempt to speak the English language...Kerry on the other hand, while i didn't agree with some of what he was saying, is a very intelligent man and i think he would have been a much better choice for the presidency

david c,
You do realize that you didn't ask a question but made a statement? Additionally are you aware that dont isn't a real word? Perhaps you meant to use the contraction form for "do not". The correct spelling for that would have been don't. I saw on your profile that you are going after your Master's degree. They check for spelling and grammar on those; at least they did on both of my theses.
And 1amct01 if you recall a lot of people voted for President Clinton and he had no military experience at all and he still ordered combat operations.

He uses a prepared text and monitor. His problem is trying to find a position he can hold longer than 5 minutes with his pants on. I hope he has better luck when his pants are down but perhaps that big nose may come in handy when he is earning his pay from Hientz.

AS a person who reads the mood of the nation and attempt's to predict the future to some extent-- it is
much easier with a man like bush in office .
he has only one speed slow and one direction backwards so it is easy to see what will happen in the future .

I still can`t believe that people voted for someone without combat experience. Seems like a good idea when you are occupying a country.

Actions speak louder than words. Anyone can sound intelligent, but there are only a few who actually are.

Correct grammar, while desirable, is not a necessity. I would rather have determination and resolve...and intelligence...and someone who actually gets things done.
