I understand the nature of your question, and yes, when something requires precision Bush may not be the man for the job, Bush is a broad stokes kind of guy. However, in my view being a President is about character, values and principles. I would rather have a President who communicates with clarity over a President who lacks clarity but is an exceptional communicator.

However his down home charm makes people feel, there are a lot of people in the world that are scared witless of his apparent cavalier attitude with language.
Then they fear the wrong thing. They should fear the man who is a smooth but deceptive communicator.
