That's exactly my point though... he's not even qualified to make those actions if he can't even explain why he made them.

You're good at your job, right? So if you make a choice that people will question later on, could you explain why you made that choice? You should be able to. Even if you aren't good with words or aren't a good debater, you should be able to SOMEWHAT back up and explain why you made the choice you made. You should be able to somewhat convey a coherent response to the thing being asked of you.

These were fundamental questions to the biggest topics that have been front page material for the past year, so how was he not prepared? People ALWAYS question his position on the Iraq war and WHY they went there. It's not a surprise that people are questioning, "Why Iraq, they didn't attack us." Unless he lives under a rock, these are things he should be on top of and should've been on top of since day 1.

Not one single "surprise" question was asked.

He's had plenty of time to explain himself in a manner that would actually back up his position, and he didn't do that.

I watched these debates to actually get a view on the issues that wasn't some sort of media spin, but I was actually very disappointed when it came to Bush. I at least expected him to be able to hold himself up, have confidence, and defend his positions. He didn't do that.

So how you present yourself in debates is actually a good reflection of character when it comes to those topics in reality... and in the topic of the Iraq war, Bush was uncomfortable, non-confident, and flustered.

That doesn't sound like being good enough to fufill the job reqs to me.
