I think it's nerves more than anything else. I do not believe Bush is stupid. I don't have much reason to bel;ieve I would do better in front of millions, or billions, of people with so much at stake. It does look horrible, though, lol.

I believe Jimmy carter may have been the most intelligent president that leads me to believe that intelligence doesn't necessarily tranfer to doing a good job in office

Yeah, but Bush has been in public service for decades and he still can't put together one grammatically correct sentence? "Nerves." The guy's *already* been president for 4 years. By this time he should have worked those things out.

teddy is understood to have supported big bidness privately. the trustbusting he did is probably more important symbolically than practically. less of a busting than a necessary temporary correction to avoid the east inda company-redux. us-steel exists, most of the country chooses between sumner redstone and charles dolan for cable and some strain of bell/at&t for the priveledge of using their phone lines. throw in microsoft and the fact that the overall trend in the last 100 years has been large companies merging, from banks to media conglomorates. this isn't necessarily bad, panicked competition and short-lived companies are less preferable than having to publically scold larger, stable companies when they get too predatory.

i'll put him on my top ten easily, top 2 for conflict/wartime leaders. he could lead, but he was a shameless media whore and there's ample cowardice behind his legend. still, despite a few dumb things, he got stuff done in his tenure. probably more than what you'd expect from 3-4 different presidencies.
