Another conservative with some 'advice' for Obama.
http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/11/022038.php

Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn't raise his standards, he will exceed Bush's total before he is inaugurated.

11. Don't forget about the OB/GYNs "practicing their love" on their patients!
:rofl:

Seriously, is this guy crazy? Bush is a careful, deliberate speaker??? I may have to leave now, I think I have heard everything. :eyes:

6. "remarkablehow few gaffes or verbal blunders"
Let me guess--English is this cretin's fourth language, and he doesn't know it too well.

7. At least he speaks English.
Guess the conservatives no longer recognize the language.

8. "..how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed"? Yes, enough to fill about dozens of books!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushism

"Bush's misuse of the English language has spawned dozens of books that document the phenomenon. The majority are written by Slate magazine editor Jacob Weisberg. The first, Bushisms, was released in 2002. The Bushism books have been received well around the world, with editions released in Germany, France, and Italy landing on best seller lists.<3>"

9. Just like everyone else; I think PE-Obama understands that.
Especially as a diplomat, and a lot of people ARE asking questions -- which often isn't a bad thing.

But that's just my guess.

12. That's pretty funny
considering he was a supporter of an inarticulate buffoon for the past 8 years. This idiot giving language advice to a best-selling author is the height of willful ignorance and intellectual dishonesty. Spare us the "concern", troll.

13. This is a joke, right?
I mean, the one thing Bush will almost certainly be remembered for is his penchant for treating the English language like a Taco Bell toilet. There's just no comparison between Bush and... pretty much anybody, and Obama is on another level in terms of intelligence and reasonability.
