Joe;"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."

Bigsky:Well, yes, this is the standard reply from the DUmmies. "Blundering idiot", "Cowboy", etc., etc. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. You're correct, you're not alone.

I think your implication that the only people who agree with Joe are "DUmmies" is not really a fair criticism.

I am the one of the most dedicated Bush supporters you will find on FR, but I agree that Joe is absolutely right on this.

Bush had some good moments and overall his message was rigth on the money.

But he really came across as "unfocused, distracted, unprepared, and drifting" several places during the Q&A.
In some places he looked like he was totally lost.

I think you need to watch the rerun, Jorge.

You must have been expecting something extraordinary to be so severely disappointed in the way he handled himself.

He was himself. Not silver tongued, but resolute, passionate and honest. Himself.

My criticism would be this: He may have drifted here and there, but that doesn't mean that's how he is in the White House as far as I am concerned. He drifted at probably the moment people were deciding to go channel surf toward their usual Tuesday non-news shows, and missed the dynamite finish at the end. The voters I speak about are still sitting on the fence right at this very moment. But, alas, it's still April, and alot can happen between now and November. Most voters wouldn't give a damn what he did or didn't say.
