Re: OT Less we forget, our American heroes.
Me? Never ;-) Tucker Carlson recently said of Bush: "Watching Bush talk is
like watching a drunk man try to cross an icy street." Reagan had many good oratory qualities. He had good speechwriters and a strong delivery. I never really liked the way Clinton gave a speech, his timing was always off...like listening to William Shatner with a Southern accent. I do prefer the speechmaking ability of most any US President from the 60's and back than anyone since Nixon, but that might be just because everything I've heard of their speeches were probably just the better ones they gave. But the good ones, like Roosevelt, Kennedy, Churchill, they seemed to have a way of delivering a speech that made it sound bigger than it was, and made you hang on every word. Maybe it's because they came up in the radio days, and had to impart their speeches without visual cues (with the exception of Kennedy, of course).

Re: OT Less we forget, our American heroes.
His speech style is more like "see ---- run" rather than anything even resembling inspirational leadership. It's just pitiful what poor public speaking style he uses. He might have any number of good qualities but inspiring people through public speaking just isn't one of them. So instead of having a Bush teamed up with a Quayle idiot we just got the idiot leading the team with his puppetmaster off in an 'undisclosed location'. Sad, really sad.

Re: OT Less we forget, our American heroes.
Apologies in advance for stoking this way off topic thread.
I've certainly been unimpressed by his smug oratory style in the past, but having heard the speech Bush recently delivered here in Halifax on his Canadian kiss-and-make-up tour to muster international help for cleaning up his Iraq mess, I must give him and his writers high marks for pushing all the right Canuck buttons: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...0041201-4.html "a great vision for the future, two prosperous, independent nations joined together by the return of NHL hockey" "There's a prominent citizen who endorsed me in the 2000 election, and I wanted a chance to finally thank him for that endorsement. I was hoping to meet Jean Poutine" (Bush showed his utter lack of foreign affairs savvy in 2000 when a comedian posing as a reporter got him to thank Prime Minster 'Poutine' on Canadian television). "thank you for your kindness to America in an hour of need" "our two peoples are one family, and always will be" "I proudly ate some Alberta beef last night and I'm still standing" "The values we hold have made us good neighbors for centuries, and they will keep us as strong allies and good friends for the centuries to come" "America respects the skill and honor and the sacrifice of Canada's armed forces" "building effective multinational and multilateral institutions and supporting effective multilateral action" (isn't 'multilateral' a dirty word in Republican circles?) "Canadians can be proud of the part you have played in the advance of human liberty [in Afghanistan]" "a member of Canada's Parliament said in the 1960s, 'The United States is our friend, whether we like it or not.'" "it's not always easy to sleep next to the elephant" Probably his best stroke at justifying the Iraq adventure was reminding Canadians that they took on the Nazis preemptively while the US stood by and waited to be attacked: " In the early days of World War II, when the United States was still wrestling with isolationism, Canadian forces were already engaging the enemies of freedom from the Atlantic -- across the Atlantic. At the time, some Canadians argued that Canada had not been attacked and had no interest in fighting a distant war. Your Prime Minister, McKenzie King, gave this answer: "We cannot defend our country and save our homes and families by waiting for the enemy to attack us. To remain on the defensive is the surest way to bring the war to Canada. Of course, we should protect our coasts and strengthen our ports and cities against attack," but the Prime Minister went on to say, "we must also go out and meet the enemy before he reaches our shores. We must defeat him before he attacks us, before our cities are laid to waste." McKenzie King was correct then, and we must always remember the wisdom of his words today. Very clever move to dig that up. http://www.collectionscanada.ca/prim...h4-4068-e.html http://archives.cbc.ca/IDC-1-109-138...30s/1939/clip4 Granted, Bush looked really dopey when he paused after several key remarks to wait for applause that didn't come, but overall his delivery was improved over what I've seen before. Expect to see similar speeches across Europe in the new year as he goes after the Francs and Deutschmarks he needs to get out from under Iraq.

Re: OT Less we forget, our American heroes.
While true the isolationism was popular in the US prior to WWII, it's
incorrect to assume that the US "waited to be attacked" before it got involved in the war; it was quite involved prior to officially entering the war. The US Atlantic Fleet was quite active protecting Lend-Lease shipmaents to England from German U-boats, a number of such were lost prior to Dec 8 1941. And before and during the Battle of Britain, many US Army Air Corps pilots were flying in the RAF in England's defense. I would submit that Canada was actively fighting in the war prior to the US's official entry mainly because of the closer cultural and political ties to Great Britain...wasn't the King of England soveriegn in some way over Canada at the time? > Probably his best stroke at justifying the Iraq adventure was reminding > Canadians that they took on the Nazis preemptively while the US stood by > and waited to be attacked: > > " In the early days of World War II, when the United States was still > wrestling with isolationism, Canadian forces were already engaging the > enemies of freedom from the Atlantic -- across the Atlantic.

Perhaps, Bill, but a sign of a good leader is someone who can communicate
well, and using language correctly and clearly is part of good communication. Part of being a good leader is also looking at an issue from multiple points of view, but that's a different argument. ;-) "L.W.
