(And I'm a little disappointed that we (Australia) only come in 5 ahead of you at 32 and we've got state hospitals, medicare, bulk billing (well if you're poor)) It was better in the nineties. )
I seriously get the impression that some people want a president who doesn't actually look or act like they should be president. I feel like Bush would be fun at a party, but the guy who's fun at a party doesn't deserve to be president.
It's like the teleprompter thing. They make fun of Obama for using a teleprompter -- of reading the speech off something that makes it easier for him to engage the audience. I can't decide if they'd really prefer him to read it off paper or if they're really dim enough to want him to memorize HOUR-LONG SPEECHES.
Maybe they don't realise his speeches go longer than the sound bites they pick up on the news.
Considering they're Fox News junkies who probably get fed four or five minutes of a speech in sentence fragments and figure that's enough to understand he's a socialist communist fascist Muslim pagan jaywalker, I don't doubt that they can't focus their attention on a speech that lasts longer than they can go through a can of PBR.
You don't know me, but someone on my friends list shared this link. It's fabulous.
I have insurance with my job and it's considered "good" insurance. Recently, they stopped covinering the only cholesterol medication that has ever worked for me. At the same time ethey also stopped covering the allergy medication that worked best for me.
But it's better than no insurance or having to pay for your own coverage. I've been there, too.

There was a genius here in Minneapolis yesterday with this sign to protest Obama's visit:

"Oh, do you like puppies?"
"Yeah, I love dogs."
"You know who else liked puppies? Hitler."
I mean, come on. So now any leader who was REALLY good would write shitty speeches? Seriously.

The ability to a) read, b) stick to a well thought out speech, and c) sound as if he understands the content, isn't a prerequisite for the job?
