Embarrassement? Last 8 years? The Obama administration has been one embarrassment after another!

Bush also undestood protocol. Apparently the Obama's haven't ever heard of protocol.
You must know that making any comparison between Bush & President Obama is leaving you open for all kinds of attacks on your credibility. If that is all you can find on Obama's eloquence than you are a mere flea in the world of awareness Even the most hard-core GOP mouths: Limbaugh\ O'Reilly\ Hannity all acknowledge that Obama is a very smart man & probably the best orator in the White House in more than a century. Do you turn off FOX when they clearly proclaim that this president is a world-apart from the inarticulate dunce who proceeded him. When Obama mentioned Bush the audience booed in France just they audiences in the US curse Bush & the Dick Cheney

Oh, really? And how is he "rising above it"?

The comparison is that Bush didn't make idiodic statements, and he didn't embarrass the U.S. with giant protocol blunders. His "uhhhhh", "and, ahhhhh"s are agonizing, as he waits for the teleprompter to tell him what's next.

Bush rarely had to even refer to his notes when speaking. And he often spoke extemporaneously.

Eloquence? What eloquence? I don't find him in the least bit eloquent. He cannot speak without a teleprompter, and he makes these horrendous blunders! That isn't eloquence. It's ignorance.

Wrong. Smart, yes, they have said he is probably fairly smart (I would guess about average). "Best orator"? No. They are not saying that. No one is saying that. Show me the proof. He relies solely on the teleprompter. Without it, he's lost.

I couldn't care less what the French think or do. They are socialists, and they would naturally love someone like Obama who "speaks their language" (so to speak). They weren't interested in helping us in the War on Terror. They aren't interested in helping Obama in that effort either. And I seriously doubt that anyone on Fox "proclaim[ed] that this president is a world-apart from the inarticulate dunce who proceeded him". Show me the quote. Who said it, when, and in what context? I doubt you can come up with a link to any such quote.

By the way; since when do you watch Fox?

Oh, PUKE! Speak for yourself.

The guy is a total embarrassment. He can't open his mouth without offending someone, or saying something stupid.

Man, have you been drinking the Kool Aide. I'll bet you believe everything he says.

Here's the thing...I liked Bush, but I realize he wasn't perfect. He wasn't a conservative. But I did like him, and I thought he was a very good president (except for the excessive spending), and I liked that we had a president willing to defend the United States against our enemies (I have no such confidence in Obama). Even so, I didn't gush all over the place and wet my pants over him like you people do over Obama. This stuff is just really a bit much. It's way over the top. Almost in an unnatural way. The guy isn't God. And he isn't exactly the brightest bulb, either.

But you dont like that... you'd rather he be arrogant and ignore or dictate to the other representatives, right?
It's a JOKE! An absolute joke. And you people are so enamored with him. Go ahead; follow him. Right over the cliff.

Sheeple!

I guess you didn't watch the morning talk shows this morning. Sounds like he can't decide who to bomb first, North Korea of Iran...He's starting to sound a lot like Bush...
