Bushisms
 

Seriously why did the American people vote to hire this guy as our president?

tee hee

Those this looks alot like flame bait ;) I did find it amusing.

Everyone has messed up a speech before, and think of how many a head of state has to give

Because the possibility of misstatements isn't an important factor in selecting a president. Hell, I think it does more good than harm. The Daily Show gets better material if he's reelected.

Every time he makes a "Bushism" his poll numbers go up because the people find it "folksy" and amusing and believe him to be more down to Earth or whatever.

So you tell me, is it the way he truly talks or is it well rehearsed?

Who knows. I'm sure at first it was just mistakes, but now I would say they probably do write some of the stuff into the speach.

Personaly I love bushisms. That whole debate skit SNL did with bush saying all this stuff about strategery, and gore with his lock box thing was classic. I say even if he was the worst president ever (which I don't think he is) he would still be the president that has provided the best comedie.

the thing with this bushism is that it makes me wonder... was it that he said it wrong or was it a truthful slip...?

To quote a poster from another website, "Given the choice of a President who speaks poorly over one who would govern poorly, I'll chose the former each and every time."

While I am no fan of Bush, singling in on these things is kind of trivial. Yeah he's not a good speaker, but keep in mind no one is flawless either. If you were paying attention to Kerry's speech during the convention, he said something to the effect of "And we will train to have special troops for terrorist operations... COUNTER-terrorist operations...". I say stupid shit all the time and I'm an intelligent guy. There are plenty of better reasons to hate on Bush!

And to believe that some people want four more years of this idiot who can't read from a fucking teleprompter!

And my vote goes to it being a truthful slip!

I misspeake all the time, and frankly it's not that big of a concern for me. My vote is based on the issues, and not whether or not someone misspeakes every now and then.

He is definetly anything but an articulate speaker. Basically the oposite. It really doesn't matter in the long run, but it does not make him look any more intelligent then alot of people already think he is. No one ever voted for him because he is a smart person.

Why don't we just forget all about the primary process and campaigns and institute an eloquence test for all candidates?

Oh wait, we can't do that because then people would actually have to think about important issues. Nevermind.

eh, most people don't do that anyways... at best i think many voters either vote just party or just based on one issue. all the others are registered "independent."

/over-generalization

i mispeak constantly because i start to think ahead to what i am going to say later that i start to skipthe things imbetween it gets kind of anoying but no one is bothered by it

in the begining i bet it was mistakes but i bet now with what they know i am betting they are planed

Well thinking about ways of harming ourselves is actually a good idea, if we can figure out what they can do to us first we can put the right things into place to protect us from it. but yeah I don't think he ment to say it that way though

But what about a guy who does both???
