28. Bush's major defect is that he doesn't do press conferences.
And when he does, he only answers canned questions.

We've seen examples where the British government roasts their leadership.

It should be a rule that a President must do an unscripted live town-hall every two months at least where citizens may ask questions. It should move from state to state.

For security, he doesn't even have to actually *be* in the location...just use one of those magical CNN video screens. That would take two hours out of one evening every two months. It would be a great CSPAN event.
