John D, I heard the same thing this evening. It was a great speech! Probably the best he ever gave. Did he shed a tear at the end? It looked to me like he did. If you like polish, then listen to Bill clinton, but to me, he never seemed genuine. Bush on the other hand isn't as good a speaker, but he seems always to be genuine.
I agree that he seems older, but name a president that didn't seem to grow much older in office. Clinton seemed to age before our eyes (or maybe he just quit dying his hair). Who's watching the telethon for the victims tonight? Alos did anyone see that the Louisana Maximum Security Prisoners raised $11,000 dollars for the victim's families! I can't belive how we have all come together here! Unbelievable three weeks ago!!! To bad it had to come at the hands of a terrorist!

Bush definitely looks like he has aged quite a bit since January. That has got to be one of the most high-stress jobs there is, leading a country. Thankless, too...*sigh*

Sorry, I have to agree with Staralfur here.
Maybe it's the speech teacher in me, but Bush hurts my ears. Mind you, I consider myself a Republican and a Bush supporter. But when I heard him doing press conferences earlier in the week, he was just plain awful. I wish he'd take a cue from Reagan and know what the reporter's questions were beforehand. This speech was very well-written, but to me it definitely sounded like a speech writer or two had a major role in forming the speech. I don't consider myself an authority on the subject, but I did take a graduate course studying Presidential speeches. It depends on the president. Some use speech writers extensively, some hardly at all. Reagan used them a lot. Kennedy hardly at all. I'm not sure where Bush, Jr. falls in line. I'd have to research it to know for sure. ------------------ Most Subtle Official Straightman of the Laughing Hyenas -- Grammarian Brigade.

I agree with Sir T and John D (hey they ryhmes) . He seemed genuine to me. Bill Cilton or Al Gore I dont think would have done near a good of a job Bush is doing.

THE BUSH IS A BURNIN'!! sorry, ever sence he wa president I wanted to say that.. ------------------ So if in the forest look behind you, because that where the ranger is going to be Grand-Jester of Laghing Hyenas Messenger of the Emerald Dragon May a pregnant yak chew on your ear for all eternity. |
