GWB is not a great public speaker. His use of the english language is deplorable. Listening to him say 'evil do-ers' made me cringe and think that while the whole world's attention was focused on us, we should have had something better than a semi-functional illiterate to speak for us. Among others, I think Guiliani would have done a better job. Hell, what about that Blair chap? Why should we restrict ourselves to Americans? Nobody better? I think he was talking about nobody-better-who-was-President-of-the-United-States-at-the-time. Lame.

Nowhere did I say you had to agree. I just asked if there was a possibility that he did do an outstanding job since someone that faced a similar situation and who you seem to respect holds the exact opposite view from your own. Your rant on Bush's speaking skill seems to indicate a predisposition to allow factors that don't pertain to the handling of 9/11 to influence your opinion.
As far as your theory that Giuliani would have done better or that Blair could have, perhaps you're right but just as you are entitled to your opinion, so is Ustwo. Why can't he believe and communicate that Bush was the best person for the job in his opinion?
