Think about it, the ability to be a slick speaker was almost a GIVEN before George Bush...ALL politicians were slick speakers. But now, after Bush, suddenly, what was once common, now seems gloriously refreshing! It's amazing. to articulate grand ideas and visions and help make them > concrete for people, His grand ideas and visions were mostly pie in the sky.....there wasn't really a lot of concrete underneath them. But we didn't care. Because of where we were as a country, "pie in the sky" was exactly what we wanted to hear......thanks to the most un "pie in the sky" prez in recent memory. > his ability to organize and mobilize large > numbers of people, A large number of people who had already been united in their dislike/distrust of Bush...all they needed was a leader.........enter Obama. > essentially his leadership would have given him a > serious run for President at some point in his career. Bush was just > the motivator for the time being now. Way to seize the moment. I certainly agree, Obama has a LOT going for him without Bush's or anyone else's help....but only George Bush had the power to turn Obama's one true weakness....experience....into an asset.
