O'Reilly and Fox ask "How Has Bush Changed After 4 Years in Office?"
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,145111,00.html

O'REILLY: Have you seen a — have you seen a change in four years? Just — I want to kind of focus it in the last four years when he took the oath of office in 2001 fresh off the governorship from Texas until now?

LANNY DAVIS, FORMER WHITE HOUSE COUNSEL: Well, I have seen changes, but I still see the same George Bush I remember from 40 years ago. So the change — certainly, there is a transformed George Bush after 9/11. The speech he gave to the joint session — I really didn't recognize him, and I think he grew into that situation very admirably. But it's really the same down-to-earth, friendly, open, authentic George Bush that made him so likable when we were in college together. I didn't vote for him, as you know, Bill, but I always liked him and I still do.

O'REILLY: All right. Mr. Smith, have you seen a change in the president?

RICHARD NORTON SMITH, PRESIDENTIAL HISTORIAN: I think so, although I have to tell you, Bill, I think George Bush has changed less in the last four years than we have and in our attitude toward George W. Bush. He has said in recent days that one thing he's learned — I'm sure Lanny knows this — as every president learns, is to weigh everything that he says. He said specifically if he could take back the bring-it-on line or even referring — using gunslinger language to talk about getting Usama bin Laden dead or alive. Every word that comes out of a president's mouth has significant consequences.

1. I've noticed recently he sometimes forgets to talk Texan.

Or what he *thinks* is Texan. It ain't like any Texan I've ever heard.

5. I haven't noticed that until you brought it up
and it's true. He lost that *accent.* Listen to someone like Jessica Simpson's family and then listen to him. So different! :crazy: I think he's just much more evil. :spank:

4. If every word really had consequenses, he'd be long gone.
Or at least, had the consequenses they rightfully should have, which would be for everyone to go, "Hey, dude! You're stupid, violent and incompetent! You're out of here!"

9. WTF??? Is the first term supposed to be HOW TO BE PRESIDENTIAL 101?
FUCK THIS LEARNING SHIT...

Either one is a Leader or NOT.... Clearly, Bush, after 4 years, is still learning...and a bit slow at it I might add.

4 year report card::: Bush still sucks except at:: Fooling, so he can continya Rooling.
