I know English was good enough for Jesus! It should be good enough for Bush!

Even though several have already pointed this out, I cannot resist. Cavemen could not speak English at ALL. Not "good" English, not bad English, but NO English.
Secondly check your own grammar first before attempting to criticize others (namely YOUR President), for theirs.
Lastly...I would relish watching you speak on international television, meet with international diplomats and leaders, or large formal gatherings with even the slightest bit of eloquence. You'd probably pee your pants. I'm so sick of this cheap, stupid shot. Grasping!!! Can you not form some original thoughts?

I doubt cavemen spoke English of any sort, but I get your point. And, yes, everyone has strengths and weaknesses, but don't you think the President of the United States should be articulate and give the impression of intelligence?
And, I believe "speak good English" might be acceptable. "Good" is modifying the noun "English;" it's not being used as an adverb modifying "speak" in this case.

Pick a GOP candidate, one you think will win the nomination and might be the next president. Now...concentrate on hating that person. Practice a lot.
Bush will be out of office in a little over a year, and you're obsession of always bashing him is getting old and making you look ridiculous.

Do yourself a favor and look at a video of him speaking while he was still the Governor of Texas and then look at one from today. There is something wrong with him. He used to be very eloquent.

Bush´s stumbling over language is one of his very very minor faults. Have you not noticed any of his major faults? Do you really need a list? Remember- we only have 600 characters to use!

I've known plenty of people from all walks of life that don't seem to have a grasp of the English language... it isn't just limited to Bush. Good examples, however, would be some people from the inner cities, and some people that live way out in the sticks.

The article says Neandertals could talk, it didn't say what language they spoke. You are right, though, in Bush's inablility to speak English.

They weren't speaking English.

Only on the "low-rated" sitcom "Cavemen", do they speak English,or whatever language the "writers" give them to speak.
Don't be such a "dumb@$$",DV.

I am certainly not a Bush fan but his slight speech impediment and his less than awesome public speaking abilities are the least of his shortcomings
