I saw Dubya at a fundraiser a year or two ago. I was maybe 20 feet away from him. He was full of awesome. He called the terrorists murderers and thugs that don't understand negotiating and talks. He was on fire.I hadn't seen him like that since 2001.

I don't know what throws him off during a televised appearance. Maybe it's the cameras, maybe it's his speechwriters who tell him to knock off the "wanted dead or alive" lingo. Shame really. He would have much higher support among the populace if he was more natural-IMHO.

That is SO TRUE!

Well said.
