Even looking at Bush gives me the creeps. It makes it hard for me to pay attention to what he is saying because I feel myself constantly wincing. While I know I should be more knowledgeable about what is going on, I generally find it all too frustrating / depressing and turn on Comedy Central. But I’m working on it.

I miss Clinton, although my reasons are not really related to his politics. For one, he wasn’t too convoluted by societies unrealistic standards to have a thing for a cute, chubby girl. Secondly, he was charismatic, and could hold his own ground while eloquently arguing the most benign issues - without a teleprompter!

Is it really too much to ask for our Commander and Chief to be able to read text without bumbling and constantly scape-goating?
