Do you think people really truly believe Bush* is a great communicater?
He is constantly being compared to Churchill and Abraham Lincoln. Do people really think Bush* is in the same league as those two? I am incredulous that that could even be a possibility. IMHO Bush* is the least articulate and intelligent President ever in the History of the United States. I had an extremely hard time even listing him as a President. He is not my President and never will be.

3. And The Ironic Thing Is...
lincoln, a far better, educated, and articulate man than the current Reident...never attended ANY formal schooling whatsoever. He was completely self-taught.

So much for Yale and Harvard...

4. A great communicationer?...depends on who is doing the comparing

Only Bush supporters would compare him to Churchill or Lincoln. I guess it is hard to admit that the person they voted for is a complete idiot and totally incompetent.

6. I hope they were joking.
To be a "great communicator" you have to be able to form a complete sentence and make what your saying coherent. "I... uhh uhhh... *long pause* uhh uhh.. am a war time President... uhh erm... uhh... *short pause* uhh... *long pause* ...I wish I could... you know... be a peace time President... but.. uhh.. you know... I can't be because... because... because of those evil terrorists folk."

8. Stupid is as Stupid believes.
The problem with stupid people is that they don't know they're stupid.

10. when did you last hear that?
I haven't heard that for a long time, any more than I've heard the
"popular wartime president" BS

the media is finally realizing that he's NOT popular anymore

he's in TROUBLE, as even the Gallup Poll shill said the other night

12. My 11 year old son is a more articulate speaker.
I'd have to agree with you. He's not my president, either. Never was and never will be.

13. Well, since the dead guys can no longer talk..........
that press conference where he was waiting for an answer to "pop into his head" embarrassed even the true believers, although they'll never admit it.

14. Of course not. They don't listen to him they listen to the pundits.
If they ever actually listened to him speak, they would be appalled. Their teevees and bosses tell him he is distinguished, eloquent and swell.

Edited on Tue Jul-20-04 10:49 PM by LibertyorDeath
The Entire World knows the man is not wired up right.

He is incoherent with the TelePrompter running for
fuck sakes what does he sound like with it of (shudder)

He can not speak of the top of his head for more than 5 seconds

He is the laughing stock of the Planet.
He can't even go out in Public he's like a trained seal they take to Military bases & other safe closed locations away from the REAL WORLD where he repeats Karl Roves talking points OVER & OVER & OVER
He is a sickening display of what the Right has devolved to politically .
He Sickens me to the very Core of my being every time I see his beady
inbred Eyes & that fucking smirk.

POS MF.....................................& so are the people who support him.

NUKULAR what a fucking Wanker......

17. These are spin specialists who believe that if you repeat....
...something often enough, people will begin to believe it. Bush is an idiot and every time he opens his mouth, he proves it.
