Bush and his speeches

Is it me or has anyone else noticed how much Bush looks like a puppet reading speeches someone else has written?
I'm sure all major politicians have speech writers, but I wish for once they would just speak from the heart - the hundreds of speech after sep 11th made me annoyed.
The word "Americans" was used in his speeches time and time again to rally the people of the USA even if they were untruthful.
In one speech Bush said all the peole that died in the bombing were Americans - we all know that there were people from all over the world that died that day - but it doesn't sound as powerful a speech to mention other nations when the US president addresses his people.
So anyone else sick of listen to these carefully written speeches?
Which world leader do you think speaks most from the heart?

Therefore Bush, as one of the worlds most significant world leaders, can't just say what's on his mind.
And actually Bush's head of speeches (name has slipped my mind) has gotten a lot of recognition, with currently the "Axis of evil" being the only speech which has been truly criticised.
Guess that the only politician who can get our trust, and still be 100% 'real' is Jack Ryan
Btw, good to see you posting in here as well. I like the threads you start.
Thanks that's so sweet - I have an opinion on everything - I guess I don't post too much on Politics cos it gets me too mad...
I just can't stand those carefully worded speeches, granted if bush had set at his desk and written it himself I'd be fine about it but he's obviously got himself a professional speech writer - I just hate the thought of speech writers - it just feels so false and maybe because Bush isn't as charasmatic as Bill Clinton it shows more that he's just reading off a piece of paper or from an electronic auto-queue.
Here the Queen's husband is always getting in trouble for making off the cuff remarks and saying the wrong thing but I think it makes a nice change.
By the way I liked Michael Douglas' President in the American President with Annete Benning, I really enjoyed that movie.
In any case you couldn't possibly trust the man to write a speech himself. Gems like "My fellow astronauts"( ) or "they misunderestimate me" give an insight of the mental powers and literacy of Dubya.
PS Love the new Av AL..........:D
Oh, make no mistake, the world knew perfectly well what actions the Bush administration planned from the beginning.
Just because you announce in advance what you plan to do it doesn't make it any less wrong.
Definate connections to Enron.
But he did say exactly what he was going to do in the W.O.T.
LOL... you took it out of my mouth J.
Yes, there you are pnj. Adolf Hitler: a bit nasty wouldn't you say, but you can't deny the man was brutally honest. I mean, he outlined his thoughts and policies very clearly in Mein Kampf, as early as 1925. Plenty of warning about what he thought of other races and the disabled.
So in your book he wasn't such a bad chap then...
