Oh, you mean he was talking like one of us?
In that case, does that make me (two masters degrees, Lt Col in the USAF, who builds computers on the side) a "fricken idiot" because I use the same phrase in everyday speech?  Let go of your hate, man. Like "I feel your pain" was any better. |

GWB is proof that an average, everyday guy can become president.
I just think that America deserves better than an average guy. |

He is the President of the United States and you call him an idiot? What is your position in life? What degrees do you have and where did you get them?
Bush wont change himself to suit your needs. Thats the way we talk down here and thats what America elected. Have you ever seen someone who makes over $300,000 a year say "ya'll, fixin, gunna, and hafta"? I have, they say it because thats the way we talk. |

I agree with your line of thinking, I was kinda meaning of average smarts. Now if we could only get a pres who shared the morals and economic interests of average Americans... |

Umm, MBA from Harvard and former fighter pilot is hardly average smarts. We don't really like idiots flying multimillion dollar fighters, and Harvard has a reputation to uphold. Plus, he's outwitted the Democrats on too many occasions to count, though that's not really all that hard to do..... |

I dont care what you talk like, just as long as I can understand you. I have known some people who spoke perfect english who are complete retards and ive known some people who talked like complete hicks who are absolutely briliant.
Judging someone based on the way they talk is very petty and smallminded IMO. If you want to criticise Bush there are alot better things to use for your argument. |

Oh man. For all of the intelligent things you could have said about points you disagree with the United States President on, you had to blow it with some ignorant and dishonest/slanderous/disproven tripe quote from the Democratic Underground. Learn to think for yourself. We can all agree that there are things Bush has done that we are upset with, but think for yourself instead of regurgitating the propaganda. |

You're making this too easy. His grades, no matter what they were, were STILL good enough to get an MBA at Harvard, and qualify him to fly F-102s for years without turning into a smoking hole. And they were probably better than your grades on YOUR way to an MBA at Harvard, or during fighter upgrade training at UPT. ETA: At least this is upping my post count..... |

Debunked? Well, if you're from Texas maybe you were there. If you weren't, we're all getting second hand info from somewhere.
But hey, they're just "feelings...nothing more than feelings..." Let's support free speech (and that includes using the word fixin') along with supporting the right to keep and bear and carry and shoot and have lotsa fun wit guns. Yep, frickin' guns. |

I'm not going to comment specifically on Bush, but using the phrase "fixin to" in a professional setting makes you sound like a hayseed and you WILL be judged by the words you use - rightly or wrongly.

Well, this will be my last post on the issue, I'll let you all/ya'll fight over who has the last word.
OK, picking on his language is not so nice. But picking on the president is a right all Americans have enjoyed since John Adams (His Rotundity) was president. But it's nice to see the partyliners come out of the woodwork to defend someone who hasn't done squat for anyone. |

If you're the founder of the company, you can speak any way you want. But if I'm interviewing you for a job where you'll interact others and you say "fixin" then the interview is "fixin" to be over. |

A, supposed, White House employee on another board said that the President intentionally lays the "Aw Shucks" on thick for the cameras, but is quite normal in person.
One other interesting anecdote is that Condi wears designer perfume that is smells so good, that the various White House denizens covertly "sniff" her at every opportunity. Putin evidently sniffed his hand a couple of times after shaking hands with Condi.

Because your choice of reasons to disagree with Bush are petty, inane, and in most cases unfounded. If you want to disagree with him, make it substantive, not stupid. And legacies only get you in the school......they don't usually get you a degree. That's something you do on your own. Oh, and by the way, claiming "daddy's influence" for Bush's success--yes, that's what I would call it--at Harvard is yet another petty tear-down of a man who's obviously much smarter than you. |

If you lived in Texas then you'd be at work all by yourself then. On the flip side, if you come down here looking for a job at many places and you sound like a yankee then that's already one strike against you. |
