At the risk of having people think I am insane, if I give President George Bush an honest appraisal of his speaking skills as demonstrated in the 2008 State of the Union Address, I have to give him a sold B+. Bush used to rush, squint his eyes, freeze his body, speak in a monotone fashion and look scared. He no longer commits those blunders. Bush is now pausing, changing his speed and tempo, moving his body, and gesturing. Judge for yourself.
