I know so do I and voted for him twice (though the last time it was more against Kerry, than for W) and though he is not articulate, I wish he would (and would have in the past) take a page from the Gipper's book and bypass the MSM and begin speaking directly to the people.
Of course, he would have to have a message that resonates and his unwillingness to address the root cause of terrorism (ISLAM) as well as his intransigence on Border Security, leaves him with little to articulate about which anyone (other than the left and libs) will respond to.
The vast majority of Muslims don't follow radical jihad and "death to infidels" crap.
I'm sure the three of us realize that without the President gravely stating it in a fireside chat.
Like you I'm a two-time Bush voter, and still support him, as in wanting him to exercise the leadership I know he can. But something has gone haywire. That weird Harriet Meiers nomination for SCOTUS was a sign of it. And he has simply sold his soul on the border security issue.
