However, I am confident that I'm not the only one that saw President Bush as a little unfocused, distracted, unprepared, and drifting on several occasions. It seemed kinda obvious to me. Of course, I'm just giving my honest opinion.

Your opinion is right on the mark. It was obvious.
He did have some powerful moments though where he really came across good...and I think his message, which was one of conviction and committment was very clear.
But the moments of "drifting" were really bad and unbecoming for someone who is trying to reassure the nation that we are on the right track.

Please cite specifically where in the speech or the Q&A he was 'drifting'.......other than in response to the 'biggest mistake' question, which he didn't, nor should have answered.

He was speaking for over an hour, and I was paying quite close attention and only saw him 'drift' once..........and that was in response to a really stupid question which had no answer.

Thank you for you're honesty.

IMO, the president simply tends to stumble when he speaks. We've all seen this on many of his speeches.

I don't think it was any worse tonight and I don't think it was due to a lack of preparedness. If anything I think he stumbled less tonight and showed more moments of conviction and commitment.
