You're right, it isn't, but it is definitely a sizeable part of it. One of a presidents main jobs is pretty much public relations. He represents the US everytime he gives a speach. And him having the public speaking skills of a 9th grader certianly doesn't reflect well on our nation.


I personally can't stand the guy. I don't agree with the majority of his policy in regards to the war. I just think he's afraid that everyone will think he's weak if he changes his mind about anything. Which brings me to the next point, the man is a dumbass. Now obviously you can argue that just because he isn't a public speaker doesn't mean he's an idiot. Alright, sure I'll give you that. But just look at any of the numerous episodes of retardedness when he's in a Q&A environment. Not only are his responses often incoherent, but on more than one occasion they've displayed that he was in fact oblivious to what the subject matter even was.

Now would I like Kerry better? Well, I'm not positive, but I'm going say probably not. I liked how South Park portrayed the last election, between a turd sandwich and a giant douche.

PS This is all coming from someone who is generally moderate with a republican lean.
