And the writing with the Pen thing I think made him look more Presidential.
Anyway....Dubya did so poorly you could go on forever saying why. Here’s just some observations:
To the relentless suggestions by Kerry that the President has no allies in the world: the President didn’t bother to talk about his excellent relationships with other leaders until the very end where he mentioned in another context Putin (and he had to be directly asked about him). No mention of things achieved by working globally. No mention of relationships with allies. Not even a mention of Tony Blair for Chrissakes.
Lost opportunity to talk about Afghanistan. He could have had a great explanation in response to Kerry’s repeated “You let Afghan Warlords do the work for us.” The President didn’t even respond once.
A fuller explanation of how the 6 party talks would fail if bilateral talks were pursued with North Korea.
Um…a little too long winded about all the things he admires about Kerry. Dubya’s admiration for Kerry seemed to be one of the only topics he got excited about.
A better explanation of HOW Kerry changes his positions would have been nice. The “Wrong War; Wrong Time” got old and was not very strong.
All the talk about where the GREATEST terrorist threats are located: how about mentioning right on US soil? Excuse me but were we not simultaneously attacked – the center of commerce and even our Pentagon, with another plane headed for the White House. And the continued threat and sleeper cells…..
One of Dubya’s worst “comebacks”: “Hey; I know who Osama Bin Ladin Is!!!!!” Well, that’s nice.
Ugh.
