what are these results of which you speak? thomas jefferson couldn't deliver a speech, yet he wrote our declaration of independence. some think obama's best characteristic is that he can deliver a prepared speech. what does that matter? for the record, I would take a "c" average in the naval academy when mccain was there over an "a" average at harvard when obama was there. although I'd like neither of them.

maybe this is why McCain & Bush don't like diplomacy?
because our educational system has been on a downhill plunge for quite some time and I think that when mccain was at the naval academy, in 1867, he probably received a better education.

We are not just talking about ability to speak, We are talking about the ability to think.
I want someone with the desire to excel at whatever they do. We have all been around people who do just enough to get by. I don't hire people like that for my business & I certainly don't want my president to just get by.
We should demand & expect better!
