Obama wasn't great, but he was nowhere NEAR as historically bad as Dubya's catastrophically bad performance against Kerry in 2004.

Shrub could not fill the time he was given to speak.

highest intelligence/knowledge and has struggled against a House dedicated to defeat Obama at at all cost including for the betterment of this nation. It is a damn shame that approx.50% of the voting public pays little attention to what goes on re. the working government and politics in general until they get to the polls to cast a knee jerk vote
