How do you know it wasn't just a misstatement?

I don't care WHAT it was. In some situations, accidents are not
permissible.
Period. I can talk about gardening until people are ready to lock
me
in
a
closet. But, I wouldn't do it at a funeral while the clergyman was
talking.
Get it?

No. Your analogy sucks.

I guess we have vastly different views on quality control. If your boy
worked at my company, he'd be on the fast track to nowhere. No
promotions.
Minimal responsibility.

No. We have very different views about what is a reliable measure of a
person's intelligence. Public speaking is *not* a reliable tool to
measure
how "smart" someone is, IMO.

With the president, we have no other measure, unless we can find a way to
spend a day with him, asking him questions of our own. You may say we can
judge him by his actions, but that's probably not a good idea.

That's a very good idea. Judge him by his actions...not whether you agree
with them...but whether or not the end results were/are positive. Didn't
agree with the tax cuts? So what. There is hardly anybody dumb enough to
say that they didn't help spark the economy. Didn't agree with the war in
Iraq? So what. It's hard to find someone who believes the World would be a
better place with Saddam still in power. Don't agree with the Patriot Act
and the detention of all those bad guys in Guantanamo? So what. Since
9/11, there have been no major attacks on our country despite al Qaeda's
best efforts.
