I think Bush has made several severe judgment errors, and his low ratings are to some extent justified. I hope he can turn it around, but sad to say, he hasn't given an effective speech in a very long time.

Speeches aren't going to cut it; we've heard a lot of meaningless piffle from Republicans over the years, with damn little to show for it.

Communications skills are important, but yes, judgment errors are something else again. I saw that as a proud RINO. But Bush isn't running again. We must make the best with what we have, and move on.
