reflects badly on your own character.

he has to diverge from the tutoring and practice given to him by Karl
Rove or when the pressure is too much for his traquilizer (they have
to give him a slow-acting one to avoid the possibility of abuse and
addiction).

Dbu, GWB isn't just any ol' guy off the streets, he is the *president* of the USA. He's in the spotlight, worldwide, representing our country. He makes errors which go beyond minor, which change - or obliterate - the meaning of the sentences in which they occur, errors which sound ludicrous, and which are out & out embarrassing. Under his watch the education act has been ratcheted up with NCLB, but he appears to be in need of being educated re: some of those higher standards himself, esp. in the ELA dep't! Cathy Yes he is the President and will continue to be the president for some time, thankfully. I've seen him make some flawless speeches. You only look for errors in his speaking, that's petty stuff. I don't *look* for them; they're so obvious - & often so ludicrous - that they positively leap out all on their own! Cathy You are obsessed with GWB aren't you. One needn't be obsessed to notice his language problems. One only needs ears & a brain. Or eyes (if in print vs. audio) & a brain. A person'd have to be *totally* out to lunch, or comatose, to not notice his language blunders. (Nevermind the political blunders...) And his blunders create problems for huge numbers of people. Cathy I'll bet you've "blundered" a few times in your life. Or are you perfect too. |
(However, must say I've never said that our "children is" learning!) I seem
to be particularly adept at uttering spoonerisms from time to time. OTOH,
I'm not the president of the United States, making speeches that millions of
people the world over will hear.

asked, 'is our children learning?'" He was obviously praising our
education system for teaching proper English to Americans; he was not
making a drunk cokehead's stupid mistake of the type that should have
disqualifed him for the presidency.

Where do you see Bush making speeches? Evening news perhaps. I've watched entire speeches on C-SPAN, uninterruped and unedited. All of this talk about Bush and his public speaking is fixation. That's not mentally healthy for you. -- |
the face of reality is not mentally healthy either.

I'm not someone who is that critical of someone else. He makes errors when he doesn't have a script. You can tell he doesn't have a script because there's no podium, and it's usually when he's talking to reporters and has no idea what questions will be asked. I know of no other president in my lifetime with this defect. Do you consider yourself perfect? Of course not. |
