isnt that amazing? remember what it did to Jimmy Carter in but a few short years?

he went in looking like a middle aged businessman...
by the time his short stint was over, you'd have thought he'd been in office for two decades. I cant imagine a job that could age a person faster.

I can't believe this thread is straying from my original demands. I must rebuke each and every one of you.

Anyway... as long as we're on the new subject, this is a picture of Theodore Roosevelt just days before his inauguration (or so I'd like to believe):

and here he was last weekend:

Did you watch the video, it starts with it. Of course, it also compares a scripted presentation with an extemporaneous one. Bush has given many scripted speeches during his presidency in which he does just fine on the delivery.

Wow, that was a pretty cheap and petty shot. I wonder who it was directed at.

I don't know how I'd go about finding it though.

Remember the SNL Reagan parody? Phil Hartman played Reagan: In front of the press and public he was an old, doddering fool who appeared to be 'handled' by his cabinet, but out of the public's eye he morphed into an incredibly sharp, commanding president who fired off orders and had all the men around him cowering in fear.
