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.

As spoken in Le Grande Nation: "Muet comme un poisson"...Cela va sans dire!

True, and ridiculous of them.

I can see why President Bush is compared to Truman, no Elitist or Rhetorician. Another comparison is Eisenhower...not politically, but personal qualities and style (or lack thereof, in terms of rhetoric).
