While not the best speaker in the world, Bush managed to convey his message to any who would listen.

Many who would not listen drew their own conclusions based on his poor delivery. If you listened to what he was saying, agree or disagree, he had a sound case for action.

I see two groups of folks in this thread. One, made up almost entirely of people who have always been very critical to negative of the President focus on his delivery and demeanor. The other group of historical Bush supporters tend to say that we got the message and appreciate a President that stands on his principles.
