Same here. Mangled syntax aside, when I listen to Bush, he always sounds like a) he feels he knows better than everyone else, especially his audience and b) if you disagree, you're clearly a lunatic.
Of course, I disagree with his policies too, so maybe that's part of it as well. If that's the case, though, then are there "great orators" we can all agree on? And if so, what is it that they do that makes them great orators?
I mean, I think Obama's a great orator, but maybe you guys on the other side of the aisle disagree, in which case he's not a good example.
Winston Churchill? FDR?
