What matters most to me is that President Bush is not going to back down on the war and on the June 30 issue. He made it very clear.

While you might make a case for Bush's shortcomings as an off-the-cuff speaker; I would say that there was another historic figure who, despite being a poor speaker, proved to be an accomplished leader - Moses.

Didn't Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt have a very high pitched voice? Perhaps they weren't the best speaker of their time?
