The issue is not about being a "gem".
The issue is about being merely adequate.
A "gem" is required when the Union is faced with military disaster after disaster such as First Bull Run, the Seven Days, Second Bull Run, Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg and a gem like Lincoln is able to keep up the morale of the Home Front until final Victory.
A "gem" is required when Great Britain is faced with military disaster after disaster such as the Battle of France, the British Army surrounded at Dunkirk, and the Blitz and a gem like Churchill is able to keep up the morale of the Home Front until final Victory.
Bush, on the other hand, was handed spectacular military victories.
Bush did not need to be a "gem". Bush only needed NOT to fail miserably at communication.
He did not accomplish even that.
We are therefore facing the very real possibility of an obscenity this November: Having America lose a war that has already been won because the President of the United States was so unbelievably inarticulate that the American Home Front voted to lose a war that American blood and military might has already won.
The communication skills of Lincoln and Churchil that inspired the Home Front to achieved Victory after multiple military catastrophies rank them as Great.
If Obama wins in November and the War in Iraq is lost, the lack of communication skills of George W. Bush that demoralized the Home Front to the point that it voted for surrender after such spectacular military victories will rank George W. Bush right next to Jimmy Carter under "Failed Presidents".
A war leader, cursed with military disasters, who inspires the Home Front through his oratory to final Victory is a "gem".
A war leader, blessed with spectacular military victories on the battlefield, whose who is so inarticulate that he allows the Home Front to become so demoralized that the Home Front itself votes to surrender is a failure by any historical standard.
Were I betting ...... yah.
Crazy something that a few years ago no one could ever imagine being asked to a sports man or women who it would have been taken for granted was proud to represent their country
I’m glad, Morgan, I really am because the alternatives are horrifying.
Bayh is a LIAR.
ain't that da truth?
It was on Meet The Press. I wish I had a better time for you :(
Boom Boom versus Duk-Koo Kim
He’s just the acting hardline, gravitas
expertise Snowbama doesn’t posses.
I have NO doubt he would be part of O’s admin.
Despite exam results and more people than ever having a college and university education IMHO the average person is far less intelligent or maybe informed than they were even 20 years ago. Far less people read or study history and how this impacts today and therefore when speeches or even just simple press releases are issued they do not understand the implications or historic background involving the issue and therefore cannot fully understand or appreciate the message being delivered.
They only seem to understand a politician if he or she says he will do this and that for them at little or no effort from them required.
Oooh looks so good snugs!
Sure looks like it Sal.
OMG this is oosoooo good! I will pass this one around!
Bayh said that? He's dumber than I thought.
There are some moral screws missing from Bayh's head.
That’s great ... thanks for posting.
You need to listen to the replay.
It was a shockingly excellent performance.
Blew me away, and I sure wasn’t expecting
anything like that from him.
He sold a whole bunch of Americans last
night, and the crowd reacted resoundingly.
