Worse public speaker: Bush or Paulson

I’m not quite sure.

#2

Paulson for sure…

#3

Bush was pretty good 8 years ago. There’s a youtube video showing him speaking at various times, and it almost seems (not trying to be partisan here) that he’s suffered some sort of neurological problems in the last few years.

I was extremely surprised at how well Bush held his own in a debate with Kerry in 2004. It was the most fascinating thing that entire year. :slight_smile:

Paulson is the worst. Bush is just lame but frank. The best has got to be Bill Clinton. He beats Obama in public speaking by all measurement…

#7

I disagree with Clinton being such a great speaker. I always found him contrived and disingenuous.

#8

I like Bush’s speeches these days as it seems like he is putting little to none political-BS-fluff into them, which I despise greatly. I could care less about the eloquent political fluff that comes out of some of these people’s mouths these days.

#9

Clinton was good…I really believed he didn’t have anything to do with that woman when he said it =)

It is funny how people in this country flock to stupidity, we just got rid of baby Bush and already people are talking Paulson in 2012…do we really need to inflict any more damage on ourselves? Bill was the best, very natural.

#12

I think Bill charges $100K or so to come and give a speech these days

#13

He needs it, Hillary’s actions made them both broke, lol.

#14

Bill was a smooth talker. Some comedian said that only Bill Clinton can convince anyone to believe, “Isn’t here just there without a t”.

Paulson was actually an English major.
