*** I put this in this forum, because it is SERIOUS and not humor ***


Now before you go and start defending the intelligence of President Bush, think about it this way. If any person here on this forum talked in such a way you most likely attack them and denounce them as a retard, but yet when its the President he is defending? How interesting isnt it?

Seriously too... If this was any other person, especially if they were trying to become the President of the Greatest Country on Earth, most of you would in fact laugh them of course, because who wants a moron for President?

I dont equate the absence of eloquence with absence of intelligence. Its helpful to have a slick willy, but it isnt required.
And seems I recall scores for his college entrance exams and tests for becoming an officer and a fighter pilot, being respectable. MARK

This isn't serious. Manner of speech is relative here and one womans interpretation doesn't mean anything. She is obviously being fecicious here and I think this topic/thread should be moved.

Gotta love the Libbys............................I suppose next they will be critizicing Bush on the way he wipes his @ss.

who yuo calin a liby? look bieng able too from a sentenc is esentall too comication caus its a show of intellet.

But hey I guess that is why there must not be strict formats in one writes a thesis to get a Masters or PhD right? They just let one right all garbled and unintelligible dont they? Im sure they do in some Pansy Liberal Arts College. Just remember in the REAL world being able to speak cleary and formulate proper sentence structure is most definitely a sign of intelligence, now doesnt mean someone is 100% intelligent, but it does mean if one is unable to perform and communicate above a 3rd grade level they are lacking in what it takes to succeed. Imagine if one someone of subpar communication skills tries to pursue a position in your company and will be talking and handling communications and what not with clients and customers.. oh wait... I get it, you would hire the moron wouldnt you?

Strange arguement to make regarding the twice elected President of the US. MARK

I always envied and respected the classmates and coworkers who got an Ivy League degree. Even my engineer friend with two degrees from MIT is fairly good with words. But really, that kind of off-the-cuff speech is unacceptable at Harvard, Yale, and the White House. If the quotations are accurate, the man should be kept away from a microphone. But, to his credit, in the only impromptu interview I saw him give this year, on a subject he was well versed, the President spoke well. It makes me wonder where they get these quotes.

Plain spoken truth!

Its obviously intended as humor. Moved to Political Jokes & Humor

indeedly so, we should in fact just nuke the middle east and move forward instead of just twiddling our thumbs around.



Its obvious that assumption is the mother of all F'ups, and you good sir have just been the victim of assumption. You should stop assuming you know what I, or anyone else, is thinking. Especially when the intentions were spoken beforehand to ensure there was no mistake... but nevertheless you still F'uped by assuming things. I would hate to have you as a leader and assume something is going to happen, cause in some cases like in a combat situation you would have gotten us killed with your lackluster assumption abilities.

If it wasn't intended to be humor, than I am telling you that its humor, and unworthy of serious debate, and the decision to move it here stands.

Ben, may I mildly disagree?

This poet is so uneducated I can scarcely believe it. We here in Texas understand everything W said in those quotes, and pretty much agree with him. This poet person has simply failed to learn the Texas language.

Another thought: A fun pastime here in Texas is making plays on words. I often use the term 'ubiquitous' and mis-pronounce it according to the situation for some oblique satire.

I would pronounce it "U-bich-Sequius" in this case.
I have many other favorites.
Ken

first off, I am NO poet. Look up what Poetic Terrorism is and then maybe you will understand. secondly, Bush is NOT a true texan.. where was he born again? Lastly, Texas is NOT the U.S.A. so maybe texans should learn english and drop the whole so-called texas language eh?

PS - I do give props to Texas for being the last and only state to still alllow allodial titles on land

Evidence, please. Public speaking is a learned skill, not a god given talent. Same for writing. I can name some very bright people, that can't ( whoopsie C_A_N N_O_T) speak in public. Elton John is a prime example of a genuis who is hopeless at anything outside of his specialty.
That is why the P-shrinks invente standard IQ tests. They need a level field to measure someones ability to learn. It doesn't measure native ability beyond the ability to lean.
Talant can, Genuis must.
By standard test PRESIDENT Bush's ability to learn (IQ) is greater then either Gore or Kerry, and I can argue that it's greater then 90% of his detractors, including those posting here.
Are far as his lanugaue goes, he speaks normal for west Texas. It's you daamm Yankees that speak funny.
That's OK too, now that PRESIDENT Bush has bowed to political pressure and will allow Iran to make atomic bombs, in a few more years yankees will be an endangered species. Irn will nuke New York, NOT Boise or Salt Lake city.

yea, well its the truth, adn bush relly is stoopid, though it is funny, so WUTEVER MAN!

The irony
