Bush Talking Like the Pope

I know Bush has an iffy relationship to the English language... but isn't this a little harsh?

I know Bush has an iffy relationship to the English language... but isn't this a little harsh?

This was the title of the article from a Catholic high school's newspaper website. It was composed by a priest in charge of educating young minds in these days of anything-goes. I'm sure most of the Catholic schoolkids that he speaks to are less tolerant of free and easy abortion than their government schooled peers, but its important for him to show the kids that the President is an admirable figure (like they find the Pope) on critical moral issues.

How else to deal with the baby-killer propaganda (concerning the Iraq war) that these Catholic schoolkids hear from their socialist-educated friends from the public schools? Some of them will be old enough to vote in November, they should be reminded that Kerry is a fake Catholic.

A historic figure who has such impact must command all the skills of the spoken word. That is the case with President Bush. He speaks as confidently before factory workers as before scientists. His words strike deep into the hearts of farmers and city-dwellers. When he speaks to children, they are deeply moved.

The magic of his voice reaches men's secret feelings. He translates historical philosophy into the language of the people. He has the ability to call up long forgotten history and make those who hear him feel as if they had always known about it.

There is no element of superiority in his speaking, the kind of thing one sees in the speeches of the educated.
