New topic:My cat looks just like Hilary Clinton!!

I have always considered this forum a place for intelligent discussion...perhaps I should reconsider

Perhaps you should leave and never come back.

actually no, people often times mistake a good public speaker for an very articulate one. That is not the case. George Bush is a great public speaker, sure he has the Texas accent, and doesn't pronounce big words especially well, however he's extremely captivating, he can steer a crowd, he can make a crowd relate and identify with him.

Frankly I love watching GWB speak. Public speaking is not what you say but how you say it. He's very good at how he says what he says. I'd argue it's the very reason he beat Gore in 2000.

The speech he gave the night before the US launched the initial air strikes on Iraq was used by our public speaking teacher for many years.

Precise, to the point, and effective. Even if it turned out to be a load of hooey.

Good thinking Burninator

On that note thread rating = terrible

According to you...a thread where we discuss possible trades with the Penguins would be horrible too.

Seriously, read the title...and if you don't like it, don't click on it.

Better than trolling.

Ohhh Wahhhhhhhhhh... You've pretty much taken a fun thread and made it terrible so I along with you voted terrible.

Congratulations.

Can anyone think of another candidate that spoke with so much charisma and authority as Obama? I can only think of one that I would have put Obama in the same level. JFK.

This guy is unreal. If there is one man that can unite a nation by words, it is this man.
