To be fair, Rush is not objective. I believe that Fox News is. As for the President, it is too true that he fails as a strong presenter. His public speaking could use an overhaul. But that doesn't make him stupid, and it won't affect his presidency except in the eyes of john Q public. The masses believe the network "news". They are easily swayed. If public speaking were the chief criteria, then I guess we should vote in Jesse himself, since his eloquence at a podium outshines any current politician on either side. But is that what you want, Uncle? Probably not. Afterall, you didn't vote back in November. Nader had as much of a chance to win as I did. But when we get to vote for Consumer Advocate of the Year, he will certainly get my vote...
