There is nothing I can say to you that will change your mind, I am sure. Perhaps the next president will be one to your liking.

Personally, I think President Bush is far smarter than you think, has done an excellent job, and will go down as one of the great presidents in history.

I'll grant you your opinion, but in return will you at least admit he's done a pretty good job of hiding it from us ("is far smarter than you think, has done an excellent job")?
