Observation

It became so obvious yesterday that one of the problems that George W. Bush faced over the past eight years was not his ability to make very hard decisions, but his failure to communicate his intentions in a smooth, confident and positive way. His inability to be the "great communicator" was a huge factor in his inability to inspire the nation with faith and confidence in his decisions. Even if Obama makes some bad decisions, his communication skills are going to allow him much more flex room than George W ever was accorded....not to mention...of course...a media that will never look beneath the surface and will give him every benefit of the doubt...another positive that W never had. So sad for such a bright and compassionate man to be so misunderstood.
