Precious and innocent? You do realize that mentally retarded and those with borderline intellectual functioning commit a significant amount of crime , don't you? They aren't all Corky with Downs Syndrome from that tv show.

Ms Lewinsky




Clinton's speeches were short groupings of 1-3 words. It was as if his teleprompters had trouble loading the next sentence fragment. It made him look dumb.

Either Teleprompter screens must have gotten larger since Clinton was in office or staffers decided that random mid sentence pauses did not make you sound more honest or serious.

Ron Paul sounds like a mad scientist. I like the guy but he's a terrible politician. Al Gore sounded terrible under most circumstances. Edwards was a more polished candidate as far as public speaking goes. Palin was actually better at rehearsed, practiced speeches than McCain IMO. Hillary sounds kind of like a mean bitch but she's not bad with speeches. She should try to redevelop some kind of southern accent if she plans on running.

Bush sounded like a good ole boy. Obama sounds like he's full of it. Reagan's acting background may have given him an advantage but he's had some bloopers. I'm having trouble remember if Bush 1 speeches.....probably because he was so forgettable. I was really too young to remember Carter.

Check it out. George Bush, president, look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. cut taxes, won elections. big spender, sho'. Not retarded. You know Gerald Ford, University of Michigan.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. fell down when he walked. But he charmed the pants off people and won football games. That ain't retarded. Jimmy Carter, terrible president. Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. Obama went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Wendy Davis, 2014, "Stand with Wendy." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed...

I can't believe there's 4 pages on this retarded OP. The answer is, Bush was a much better president than the media will ever give him credit for (though yes, I think history may come to show that Iraq was not a good idea) and Obama is a a mediocre president and a pretty milquetoast individual.

One indicator of low intellectual function is extremely slow speech. By far, the slowest speaker of all US Presidents was LBJ. The sentence: "My fellow Americans, I come to you today with a heavy heart." Took him about a minute and a half for him to complete.

A 30 minute speech by LBJ might be comprised of 6 paragraphs of text.

Think of it this way. A sentence might be structured: Subject, Predicate (verb), Direct Object. By the time he got to the direct object of the sentence you couldn't remember what the subject of the sentence was.

Bush is/was the opposite of Obama: he was horrible giving scripted speeches, but pretty good off the cuff. Obama is effective in a controlled setting, but horrible off the cuff.

William Henry Harrison caught pneumonia giving his inauguration speech in the cold, so that has to count or something.

His are more of a story than a speech. Plus all of his lines where he tries to sound cool to the youth of the country make him look like a jackass. But hey, at least he sounds good on the mic, even if it is mostly BS.
