Well, at least he was a GREAT speaker. I think that his speeches were spectacular. [/b][/quote]Definitely a great speaker. I was only 12/13 when he began his campaign. He was so charismatic that I had to listen to him, even at that young age. He was the one who got me interested in the whole political process. He had charm and such a great wit. I don't know that I'd be so harsh to judge his performance, since he never finished a first term. Maybe not great, but we will really never know how history would have played out had he finished his term and gotten elected a second. At least he was a president who could put a sentence together. :p
