I agree, but there is one thing I am getting VERY tired of hearing:

"Now there's a president who may not be as good with the words as Clinton was ... but he acts."

Bush is a fine speaker, though some people think his Texas drawl and a penchant for simple statements somehow belies this. Clinton was certainly good at PARSING his words, but his major speeches read like high school term papers from a social studies class.

Dubya says what he means and acts on his words.

Listening to Clintoon makes me ill. He's Mr. Schmoozer. I've never found him to be charming as so many people are fond of reporting. Can you say "phony"?

He gets my vote next year, but to me it's like fingernails on a blackboard every time I hear him say "Nucular" instead of nuclear.

I agree with you about Bush's speaking. His speeches just get better and better. Recently he's been hitting them out of the park. And yet the left keeps saying he can't speak. Liars.

Thank you. My sentiments exactly. Clinton felt no need to answer a question, he would give indications that he would address the question, but in the end, there was no substantive answer. Dodge, dissemble, gobbledygook. The worst part is that his penchant for doublespeak gave every pol the same right, the nineties were frustrating years of non-communication, with W, straight talk has returned, and it is SO refreshing.

Dubya can't spin and lie Clintonian style. To the sheeple and the Commies, that's a lack of oratory skills.
