Here, we have some articles from respected news organizations:
...about how dumb the US president is. Apparently, the first one is about a recent speech he gave where he stated the line "Childrens do learn." The second one is about how he needs a pronunciation guide on his speeches for names of foreign heads of state. Entire articles were written on these subjects. The entire time Bush has been in office, it's been the same thing. "Listen to how stupid our president sounds!"
Alright already! We get it! He's not the greatest orator in the history of the world. His father wasn't either. The question, though, is why do these high-profile news organizations have to act like children and tell everybody about stupid mistakes the President makes in speeches? If a news organization was to follow me around all day, they'd probably notice quite a few flubs in my speech. Everyone slips up now and then. I could count at least 10 times in last night's dinner conversation that someone mixed some words up or switched around a letter or two while speaking. Realistically, should the president be held to a higher standard than the average American? In my opinion, no.
So just leave him be, and report the important stuff.
