Personally, I think President Bush is far smarter than you think, has done an excellent job,.........

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")?

Well, we haven't yet had another terrorist attack here, he got Oday and Usay killed and Saddam captured, the Taliban are hiding in the hills, we have tax cuts and two good Supreme Court justices. All of these things are common knowledge.

I will grant that if you listen to the mainstream media, these things don't get much play. I do think the President's PR has been woefully lacking, and I hope that Tony Snow will cause an improvement.
