Possibly two sides of the same coin, ohio.

Elitists love Rhetoricians. Even in their disagreements with Reagan - and they clearly had them - they could and did trust much and forgive much compared to their misunderstanding and distrust of this President.

You are right that some of them think President Bush APPEARS dumb...don't know how many think he IS dumb but they sure see him as appearing dumb, due largely to his lack of rhetorical skills and flourishes. (If he had more of those, he could get away more with marching to the beat of his own drummer, I think.)

In THAT, they agree with the elitist LEFT. Not good company to be in...

I have seen many posts of those who are 'embarrassed' when the President makes verbal gaffes...........as though being silver tongued is somehow naturally attached to intelligence.

I call that elitism.
