| | If bush was sooo smart why didn't he fly that jet to alabama like he was supposed to? I think he took the easy way out and had someone else sign in for him. Yeah that sounds like a good enough excuse for me. Or maybe he was tooo drunk to attend class. Maybe he covered up for his wife, I understand she couldn't drive tooo good when she was hitting the bottle. That might just be hearsay though. Remember fellows for every Bush there is a Kennedy, and for every Kennedy there is a Bush.

| | I hope the liberals keep bringing up Bush. It is like  . They cannot seem to get past the fact that Bush is not the President. He is not responsible for TODAY's problems. Those belong to Obama and the Democrats.
It is our job to remind everyone at every opportunity that Obama, Pelosi and Reid own the economy and the terrorist threats.
Tuesday's election is a portent of things to come in November.

| | Today, the Flieser-Kincad scores are out, how well a President's speech scores by sentance length, complexity of words, etc. He scored fourth lowest since FDR, and two points below Bush. Obama's speech at the SOTU was eighth grade level.
Funny stuff, Obama is a tool, nothing more. He has a good voice, and that is all they are banking on. | | |  | Senior Member | | Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: Brooklyn, CT Age: 49

| | The thing I get a kick out of is how many liberals blamed Bush for September 11th after he was in office for 8 months ("What did he know and when did he know it?!!") but Obama has been in office for a year and NOTHING is HIS fault. Is there a statute of limitation concerning blaming the previous administration? I don't seem to remember Bush blaming Clinton for every problem after he took office! | | |  | HMFIC | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: SE Texas Age: 55

When you do a speech or write a report for the general public (IE:not lawyers or Engineers) -- you are suppose to shoot for the 10th-11th grade on Fleischer-Kincaid scale, as that's the level the average American reads at. I use to have to write presentations, and was often modifying, to stay at the 10th-11th grade.
You have to look at who it was that voted for Obama, as that's who he's targeting. Most are pretty much uneducated, and even the 8th grade might be two or three grades over their head.
But this thread was a report on the Book about Bobby and Jackie, and strayed pretty far afield from it with Bush and Obama. | | |  | Founding Member | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Northeast Florida

| | I was in a bait and tackle store in the deep south when he was assassinated. The fellow behind the counter summed it up by saying, "It's to bad a president gets assassinated but it couldn't have happened to a better person." However if you go to Puerto Rico about every other person's house had a picture of Kennedy hanging in the living room.
