>>the low abilities of Bush

I did not vote for Bush, but would you care to back up this assessment with some evidence? I would agree that Bush is not articulate, but articulation is but one ability, and is certainly not the only ability needed as a President, in my estimation. Harry Truman was regarded by the literati as low; Eisenhower was considered by the intellectuals of his day as a utilitarian cypher, hardly statesmanlike. Lincoln was much ridiculed as a bumbling hilljack. His gangly stature and shrieking voice did not deter the press from finding him risible.

Not appearing polished in the dominant medium of the day (in our case, television) apparently is, to some, a crime tantamount to treason.
Well, I suppose that Bush hasn't shown his ability- it isn't like he has done anything really difficult, like swing-trade stocks or write a stock newsletter.
