He can read a teleprompter, but that's about it.
He shuns press conferences because he knows that he will have to think on the spot and he is unable to do that. If it isn't scripted, he can not handle it.
On the odd occasion where he does speak, i find myself pulling the blanket over my head because i can not bear to watch anyone struggle so much.

Listen, I can't stand Bush but calling him a moron or evil is too simplistic and frankly easy. Is he a good public speaker? No, in fact he makes me want to pull my ears off when I listen to him but that does not make him a moron. I know that people are using the term "moron" to mean someone who makes poor decisions or fails to grasp large ideas, but that is not a moron. He has often been accused of having no intellectual curiosity and staunch almost bull-headed beliefs, which I feel is more accurate and certainly more irritating. People can't help it if they are dumb, but someone who is intelligent and refuses to consider alternatives is much more annoying (and in this case dangerous).
As far as evil, I truly do not believe that the President is evil, only misguided. Now Karl Rove is a whole other story, that guy is scary.
F.Y.I. - Technically you have to have an I.Q. in the range of 50-65 to qualify as moron.
