Lookout, I can see how mere inarticulacy could be forgivable. What would concern me more is his seeming slowness of thought. When questions from the press core veer from the agreed lines he is unable to think on his feet. On one occassion he was asked by surprise "have you made any mistakes in Iraq? Could you have done anything differently?"

His response was to grin and look perplexed and then say "I keep waiting for something to pop into my head but.....no...nothing yet" or words to that effect. that's not inarticulacy that's slowness of thinking. Does that not worry you a little?

that question was a landmine. any pol worth his salt should know that it is a trap, pure and simple, especially in an election year. i would say that is an example of one of his moments of quick thinking.

Actually, I think that's quite a nice way of putting it. I wouldn't go so far as to say our Commander inChief is flat out stupid, but maybe just a little.....slow.
