Default Re: Corporate CEO Excellence == Excellence at Running Executive Branch?

Hmm

But surely a someone who would make a totaly crap CEO (due to lack of skill highlighted bu original poster) is more likely to make a crap POTUS.

Bush= a crap CEO though I wouldnt like to comment on his Presidency.

I dont mind people with bad grammer as if I did I would be a hypocrite.

I take special exception when they have thier finger on the button. In this case I like to be reasurred by as many signifiers of inteligence and education as possible.

As you therefore can imagine watching Bush speak reduces me to a fear wracked angst ridden mess.

I don't mind the remark about renaming the War on Terror. It was kind of funny and more or less accurate if you buy into their whole ideology.

I recall Dana Milbank getting totally cut off from the President and his itinerary for a while because of something critical he wrote... they'll probably shut him down again.

For the record I do think Bush's inability to use the English language is important, and I mentioned something about it in a post about seeing both he and Clinton on TV doing interviews. Of course, nobody responded, as they usually don't when I make a serious post without any inflammatory rhetoric or far-left arguments.

Basically, I think his particular failures indicate that he doesn't have a grasp on complex policy issues or basic definitions of everyday events. I think admitting that he gets the news from his inner circle rather than reading it himself further demonstrates how susceptible to manipulation he is.

Default One of Bush\'s worst gaffes

Don't forget as owner of the Rangers he approved trading Sammy Sosa.

Default Actually

...in that context it is acceptable to put the period outside the quotation marks when not implying speech, but rather quoting another.
A Grammar Lesson

In Canada/UK quotation punctuation follows logical reasoning, whereas in the USA, punctuation is always is inside the quotations.

Because you can't distinguish between different types of quotations, so you make a general rule? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
