"w"orst president ever obviously isn't very articulate. Maybe being articulate can now be made a new basic requirement for the job of the "world's most powerful man." Why would we ever give a non articulate leader a chance after this disaster of a president? We can't afford to elect anymore drinking buddies.

1. Wasn't Used As A Slur Though.
Regardless, yes; The president should absolutely have to be articulate.

3. I think they're trying to twist it into being a slur now that Herr Rove is using it
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 12:43 AM by billbuckhead
Rove was being dismissive about Obama's depth. Kind of a joke compared to chimpy, but then these people are oblivious to irony. I can see this on the Daily show and Colbert next week.

Here's a link<http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Video_Karl_Rove_describe_Barack_Obama_0309.html>

4. Oh Ok. I Admit My Ignorance To That.
I thought you were referring to Biden. I had no idea Rove had used it lately and since I don't know the context I can't really make a call on it. I take my initial reply back based on false presumption. :)

5. Articulate would be nice.
Think about it: We live in a nation of 300 million people and the best we could come up with is a guy who can't formulate a sentence in the English language--his native tongue--unless some else wrote it down for him.
