You are exactly right! GW will never be as smooth a talker as Slick Willie. Few are. But by his own admission people know where he stands on issues, and to me and countless others, that puts him way out in front of John F'n Kerry. We are all very fortunate that GWB was CIC on 9-11. He led well then. He leads well now. He will lead well in the future.
even his father was a good debator. GHW didnt show up for the 1992 election but in 1988 he was merciless against Dukakis.
