Good point.
I wouldn’t walk across the street to hear him speak.
I'd walk across the street to *not* hear him speak.
I get "Fortune" magazine. Current edition has a face-off between McCain and Obama. Could be the prejudice of the writers, but McCain come out looking pretty good, Obama looked like a lightweight.
I don't like either of them....I'm sure that it wasn't any of my own prejudices coloring the articles. :-)
I actually did walk across the street (figuratively speaking) to hear Gore speak in 2000. Gore is positively the worst public speaker I've ever heard. Even worse than Dubya who I heard speak that year.
I even turn off the TV or the radio if he is speaking. Will not listen.
