To all you Bush haters who made fun of how G.W. spoke, what do you have to say about our current president, Barack Obama? He might be a gifted orator when the TelePrompter is running, but it is quite another story when he is speaking off the cuff or extemporaneously (apparently David Letterman, no friend of G.W.'s agrees, as you can see in the video below or at this link).
I tried to listen to him in his first prime-time presidential address on a Monday in February, but I find myself not being interested in what he has to say. He talks about wanting bipartisanship, but it can come about only if Republicans agree with him.
When President Obama was asked if he had abandoned his promise of bipartisanship because of how he was hammering at Republicans, the president commented about how there were still bad habits in Washington.
Ask Bush 43 about those bad habits. He honestly tried to change the tone of Washington politics by not demonizing anyone, despite almost daily attacks from Tom Daschle, Dick Gephardt, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid over the course of his two terms as president.
I hope Obama proves me wrong and this albatross of a stimulus package wrapped around our necks will really work. But, we're not going to become prosperous by going into debt or increasing taxes.
