Communications: Bush raised the failure to communicate to a governing principle. This goes far beyond his linguistic pratfalls—such as Tuesday’s reference to helicopter pilots as “chopper drivers.”

That's not so bad. I've heard pilots refer to themselves as drivers. But anyway, W is a terrible communicator.

“But anyway, W is a terrible communicator.”

I think he second-guesses himself now.

“That’s not so bad. I’ve heard pilots refer to themselves as drivers. But anyway, W is a terrible communicator.”

Imagine being a speech writer or a press secretary. How do you get the message out if your president really has no message. Tax cuts got him elected because everyone likes tax cuts. There was no limited gov’t message there. His response to 911 got him re-elected because most Americans wanted to put some harm on those countries that were part of the problem, payback. There wasn’t any organized proactive message there. It wasn’t ever a war on terror, it was a war on islamofascists yet Bush didnt have the guts to call it that. As for social and economic policy over his eight years, it was duck bob and weave. No message and no conservative ideas.
