Take notice of this, and let me know if I'm wrong.

But even saying they're his saving grace is
too easy because there is no way to prove or disprove it. We can't just bench "the team" to find out, and the fact that he doesn't give speaches doesn't prove it to me.
You'll
never hear me argue that he's a great orator . [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
Kind of like the argument over his college transcripts. He's not a genius, but he's competent. Personally, I'd rather have a president who can pick and then actually
administrate his administration than one who sounds good and can put on a show for the press and public. Both would be nice, but if I have to choose...
I do realize your arguments go deeper than this though, and your point is taken.
