Bush came across as a whiner. He wasted several of his 30 second rebuttal
periods repeating himself.

Let's hope that wasn't because there is no greater depth to this man than we
saw on TV last night. Without his advisors propping him up, he doesn't look so
sharp.
Seriously, you have to wonder if this "encourages" our enemies. If you know
exactly what the POTUS is going to do, and know that once he has set off on a
strategy he is going to "stay the course" come hell or high water- doesn't that
make it easier, not more difficult, to defeat us?

He let pass several opportunities to nail Kerry.
Not
a good job for Bush.

Kerry was very 'presidential' for a lying scumbag.

Damn, John! You do have at least a slightly open mind. Good for you. :-)
