Seriously, he doesn't say anything but unrelated phrases and cliches over and over with smirks and winks.

Or maybe this one:

"Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain -- and most fools do."

You think he's incoherent because of all the media bashing, and you then tend to look for any diction mistakes by him. I would hope people would not judge a person's capabilities as an orator to be a prerequisite of a presidential candidate. A. Lincoln had a terrible speaking voice, and also was ridiculed by Easterners.

Kind of like the incoherant bashing and cliches from the left on YA......does this reflect the below average mind of the Democratic voters? Never mind you proved it!

President Bush was elected after 8 years of Bill Clinton. He was smooth talking and dishonest. Clinton and his administration lurched from one scandal to another year after year. His detractors sometimes called him Slick Willy.

After 8 years of Clinton, Bush was seen by many as plain spoken and forthright. So his less than smooth speach was seen as refreshing. Over the years though, that impression about his speach has worn off.

You don't have to listen to his speeches. That is your choice and I am surprised that you listen to a man whom you obviously loathe. Great orators do not necessarily make good statesmen.

I agree, it's an act. He's MUCH more articulate and informed in one on one interviews, even with hostile journalists such as Brian Williams.

He's not just incoherent - he's downright illiterate...! Oh, and quite probably dyslexic as well...

And it's nothing to do with his Southern accent, either...

But hey...! - never mind his speeches...! His Mid-East policies are even less coherent. Especially in Iraq. Not just choking on his own foot - he's got the foot of every American right in there too...!!!

Maybe the reality is that you don't have the cognitive skills to inderstand him.
