Presidential speech is always for the public, no matter if it's in a press conference or an actual rejected speech by the regular networks. Is Bush a gifted speaker?

::::::::

Opine! Opine! Opine! Ad Nauseum!

It embarrasses me to hear a light brain, using words to impress. At the end of one of President Bush's press conferences, he told the reporter, "Negroponti and I is going out to eat." That's embarrassing. But there is something that embarrasses me even more. That is when a light-brain gets up and tries to impress with his/her word knowledge by using big or unusual words. Case in point, "opine." It seems almost every press conference and even in speeches, Bush feels the need to use that word.

Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. The man never used that word, in press conferences, speeches, or ad-libs. Hillary doesn't either.

"I'm your girl!" she said. "Knowledgeable" Republicans are "puffing" Hillary, because they know that she cannot win the presidency.

"She is too devisive." Support her and the Republicans will win.

"You go girl!"



Fred Thompson, yesterday, talking about Bill Clinton going to sleep on the military. Thompson is too busy to go to sleep, keeping his medicine cabinet full of Viagra to keep his "trophy-wife" satisfied. "Viva Viagra!"

But get this, can you imagine Ronald Reagan ever using the word "opine?" Even good old Ronnie would be embarrassed by our present, language-impaired president!
