More and more I believe he makes these gaffes because he doesn't have a fundamental understanding about what he is talking This is bull and you know it. In case you haven't noticed, the story is reported by Reuters. This is the same liberal news service that chose to quit referring to the 9/11 attackers as "terrorists", with the remark, "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF LIBERAL BIAS IN THE MEDIA. Reuters. What idiots. The story is totally without credibility. The yen dropped from 132.80 per dollar from 132.55; hardly what I'd call "sending the financial markets wobbling". Interestingly, they managed to criticize Reagan (the best speaker of all modern presidents, and arguably the best president), Bush I, and Bush II, in the same article, without once referring to Carter's Playboy Magazine gaff or any of Clinton's absurd remarks. This is the reason we should always be careful to determine the source of a news story before reading it. If it is from Reuters, ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN, it is better to skip it and move to a less-biased source (if you can find one).

I actually have stopped finding his gaffes funny. More and more I believe he makes these gaffes because he doesn't have a fundamental understanding about what he is talking Would you criticize Stephen Hawking's ability because he has difficulty speaking? Which do you respond to -- talk, or action? We had eight years of slick talk. It got us nowhere. We are now in the midst of a foreign policy crisis made worse by the previous administration. We are now in the midst of a recession that began under the previous administration. And, as a nation, we are still reeling from the parade of eight years of Democrat scandal. The simple truth is that Bush is not a great speaker. 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. But he isn't slick. 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. I know it difficult for you to comprehend, but you have been gullible for eight years. Now, instead of a list of empty promises, we're getting reality.
