I am listening to the debate on C-span. YOu might want to watch it again. I thought President Bush did very well. PErhaps you were expecting Bush to clobber Kerry--You know all the arguments they made I had heard before except for the global test that Kerry mentioned.
And tho he had a what people call a smirk, he smiled when he started speaking. What was coming out of Kerrys mouth was pure garbage and I think I would purse my lips as well having to swallow such nastiness.
No need. Kerry was much more on point, although wrongly, but Bush was on "talking points". Who the hell advised him to do that?
No, I was hoping for Bush to use SO many openings regarding the WOT to make a more forceful point. What I saw, was platitudes and soundbites. Look, I've known from 2000 that President Bush is not a great orator, but he's had almost 4 years to refine his "talking points" and they were simply weak.
However, knowing that a strong manager is not always the best PR voice for an organization, I will continue to support him against our WOT.
