A simple "he's a person of below average intelligence", I think may be somewhat too benign for most who "dislike" President Bush to bother with. 3 positive options for Bush's inelligence for what probably amounts to 7-8 Bush supporters on this board.

I was thinking about that but I decided to include only one joke option that I thought would satisfy the issue, it's slanted towards he is genius because if I slanted it the other way there might as well not be a poll, I know that many people vehemently hate(loath?) Bush and anyone that wasn't serious about discussing it would simply skew the poll to render it meaningless. Although, I wouldn't go so far as to say that this poll is definitive or even the best poll that could have been made.
Anyway, to the point on hand it wouldn't seem logical at all that if Bush could learn to speak well he wouldn't. I think that Bush like some people just isn't good at giving really big speeches especially ones that are televised, although I have heard from many people that he is supposed to be pretty good in person, don't know if that is true.
As to the idea that George Bush is doing it to sound like a regular person, again that doesn't make sense to me. How could you not want someone who is great at speaking in the white house? I mean what possible advantage could speaking badly have over someone who can actually pronounce words, and get his point across clearly. Is this truly what most people believe, that we need an average Joe president or one that seems like he is? I thought good and great presidents were the ones that inspired, not the ones that confused people by their speeches. If I want anyone to run the country it wouldn't be someone who I believe is average, I want the best qualified and most apt, isn’t this what other people want as well?
