Something else that will be nice after next Tuesday.
We will have a president that speaks properly and doesn't use slang or expressions.

1. "Lipstick on a pig", anyone?
I kid. You're right, an intelligent president sounds so inviting!

5. What matters here
is that O knows when the use of "slang" or "expressions" is appropriate. Any thankfully, I believe he does. How wonderful to have a president who will not embarrass us. I still can't quite believe it.

6. That would mean he knows the use of those is never appropriate.

2. It's already nice. When I watched his interviews with John
Harwood on CNBC and with George Stef on Sunday, I was so grateful that we have an intelligent, well-spoken President who actually speaks like an educated adult. No more bumper-sticker slogans as answers to serious questions. He has already raised the level of discourse in this country.

3. And we will finally have a president that is capable of pronouncing the word "nuclear".
I dont think you should be allowed to be against something until you can pronounce it.

4. Bush does know how to say it properly, he didn't in public to gain the sympathy of the ignorant

So the ignorant could see the "elites" making fun of how he spoke. Thankfully we have let the ignorant know, there will be no more pandering to them.
