The reason why he is lousy at speaking is because he is as dumb as a box of rocks and can't hold a single thought for more than a second.
Here's proof:
The study determined the following IQs of each president as accurate to within five percentage points:
182 William J. Clinton (D)
176 James E. Carter (D)
174 John F. Kennedy (D)
155 Richard M. Nixon (R)
147 Franklin D. Roosevelt (D)
132 Harry Truman (D)
126 Lyndon B. Johnson (D)
122 Dwight D. Eisenhower (R)
121 Gerald R. Ford (R)
105 Ronald W. Reagan (R)
98 George H. W. Bush (R)
91 George W. Bush (R)
The six Republican presidents of the past 60 years had an average IQ of 115.5, with President Nixon having the highest IQ, at 155. President G. W. Bush was rated the lowest of all the Republicans with an IQ of 91.
The six Democrat presidents had IQs with an average of 156, with President Clinton having the highest IQ, at 182. President Lyndon B. Johnson was rated the lowest of all the Democrats with an IQ of 126.
No president other than Carter (D) has released his actual IQ, 176. Among comments made concerning the specific testing of President GW Bush, his low ratings were due to his apparent difficulty to command the English language in public statements, his limited use of vocabulary (6,500 words for Bush versus an average of 11,000 words for other presidents), his lack of scholarly achievements other than a basic MBA, and an absence of any body of work which could be studied on an intellectual basis.

Now THIS is not a seditious post!
He has said some real wowzers, hasn't he?
I wish someone, a supporter, would collect them and save them somewhere for historic purposes. President Bush has a lot to be proud of, but being Americans, we like the whole story, even something as minor as this.
I hate the way people make them up as if they are somehow being clever. What a needy way to live.
Oh, the collection should also indicate which of them he said jokingly, as he did that several times.
