The Debate (#1) 2004
Bush didn't fail miserably, but when I heard clips on the radio and there was a clear difference in the perception of each candidate's confidence, Bush still failed.
Seven times Bush said, "It's hard work!"
It still can't be denied that we haven't completed what we said we'd do before we went. We should not be in Iraq as we are now. We should have found Bin Laden by now; someone should have cut off his money supply at least. Christ, where the hell is Osama? Doesn't he have a wireless phone company we can split up?
Anyway, Beth counted the filled pauses. Kerry was in the twenties while Bush went into the eighties for the number of times he said "uh..."
I don't agree with Bush on the war. He didn't do what he said the country would do, and we ended up destroying a country for different reasons than the president gave for going. True, the world is better off without Saddam Hussein, but that doesn't justify the president's lies, misleading information, and bad grammar. And with the current information, it certainly wasn't worth 1,052 lives of soldiers (so far) and the many other lives of civilians and reporters, and those poor bastards who blow themselves up because we're there.
So the president kept repeating that "it's hard work" being president (or something), and sending his military to war and putting sons, daughters, mothers, and fathers in harm's way was the hardest decision he has ever had to make. I call bullshit! I say we're lucky if he ties his shoes in the morning. It was harder for him to be patient about the inspections in Iraq than it was to invade the country. That's why we're screwed now with no post-war plan for Iraq. That's why we're still there.
But that's only my opinion. I am only an uneducated engineer.
