Sorry Joe, but at risk of being flamed by Bush-bots, your wrong. Bush has ZERO ability to communicate a cohesive thought, littleless convincingly defend any ideas he may have. He is loosing the war of his credibility because he doesn't know how to communicate at all. You can see misstep after misstep. The Senate has been screwing him over, thats true, but what has he done to fight for his causes or defend his leadership. Social Security reform? Education Reform? Drilling in ANWAR? Abu Grave? Nothing! He tends to only boldly defend the stupid stuff that pisses his base off the most from Harriet Myers, to Ports Deal to Amenesty for illegals.
His speech on immigration was his first address to the American public (on a domestic issue) since 9/11.
In nearly five years (since 9/11) he has provided virtually no leadership on border security and immigration reform.
When he finally presents a plan, it's just what Ted Kennedy wants.
You better read the United States Constitution so you can find out who is really in charge. The House and the Senate are not the PRESIDENT, from George Washington to George Bush.
Bommer nails it directly. Bringing in Tony Snow is too little too late. The president is a horrendous communicator. There's no way he would be able to put together such a coherent idea as Tony Blair's recent defense of the War on Terror basically saying over in Iraq, the insurgents clearly know what's at stake but do we?
