The man is so stupid, what else can you expect from him? Because of him, we are the laughing stock of the world. And, he has caused so many people to hate Americans. If only we didn't have 2 more years of him! But, then, we might get Cheney to finish the time out, and that would be worse. Heaven help us!!!!

George W. Bush's spoken English will be a humiliation to the Queen of britain. American English is a a lot less formal English language, yet George W. Bush's incorrect usages in vocabulary and grammar are obtrusive. although, having stated this, i'd like you to take yet another check out your own e mail put up to this website. you're an social gathering of 'the pot calling the kettle black'.

Have you ever been to Texas? I am native born and bred. Even with a degree I still find myself falling into the vernacular that I've known since birth:
How are ya'll doin?
Did you getcha some?
And the list goes on and on. As a rule, it also means we talk slower because we draw out words. Doesn't mean we're ignorant, we're just Texans...

Don't hold it against the guy. According to half the English speaking world we're doing it all wrong too!
Oh wait! I'm sorry since I didn't degrade the President I'm getting two thumbs down, and ironically the ones with two thumbs up are all negative.

2 reasons:
1. He is an idiot.
2. He thinks it endears him to the masses.. like he is "one of us" and not an ivy league rich kid born with a silver spoon and a multi million dollar trust fund.

It's not just Bush, but (it seems like) everybody does it! All you have to do is look around on Yahoo Answers to prove that point.
