No, THIS is DUMB. ------------------------------------------------------------- WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: 'I don't really understand. How is it the new plan going to fix the problem?' Verbatim response (PRESIDENT BUSH): 'Because the -- all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculated, for example, is on the table. Whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer delivered to that has been promised. Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look, there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, supposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red.'

If you feel that way about Kerry, who actually can speak without text, seems to me you've got no one to root for, as president. This especially since Bush never saw a teleprompter he didn't like--and even with one still manages to blow it. politicalhumor.about.com

I've seen Kerry speak a half dozen times. He never used notes or a teleprompter once. Never fumbles his words, and is always right on target making strong, concise truthful points with common sense strategies for solving problems. Bush without a teleprompter or written speech has very little idea what to say about anything. That's because he really has no core beliefs he can openly admit. They only ones he has are entirely selfish and for rich fat cats only.
