The simple truth is that Bush is not a great speaker.

Isn't that what I said?

But it is clear that he is a first-rate thinker, first-rate manager, and has an excellent skill set for the job he was elected to do.

Sorry, but I can't take your word for it......I have not yet seen those attributes manifested. He sounds more like a product of group think rather than of his own thinking.

But he isn't slick.

I don't disagree.

I might add, Clinton was no great speaker, either -- the main attributes of his speech were slickness and the ability to drone on for hours. Further, Bush's opponent was apparently a less-than-impressive speaker -- he clearly lost the debates.

The difference is that Clinton sounded like he knew what he was talking about, Bush does not.

I know it difficult for you to comprehend, but you have been gullible for eight years.

Gullible? I don't think so......I was living in LA for many of those 8 years. If you are gullible in LA, you die! Its that kind of town.

Now, instead of a list of empty promises, we're getting reality.

The empty promises are your imagination.......the reality is we had an economy ramping on all cylinders. I can't blame the recession on Bush but I don't count on him getting us out of it either. Making war seems to be what the Bushes do best.
