A president of the United States does not have the luxury of projecting a bad image for his country. Use of 'that word' is the height of ignorance once one spends three years in an American school, starting with kindergarten. Disgusting.

Bush is the guy with the big missles. If he can't communicate those missles might just get launched when all along he just wanted lunch...ok, but is it too much to ask that our president is articulate. It's embarassing. Perception is nine tenths of the law. If he sounds stupid people will think he is. And how embarassing for Yale...my goodness!! Well, let’s try again. Bush is the guy with the big missles.

Bush has suffered from being the rich kid from a connected family and no one had the courage to expect more from him in elementary school, so he never developed the "ear" to hear when a word or phrase sounds grammatically incorrect. That continues today with no one, including his wife, allowed to criticize Bush, much less tutor him.
