I have to admit I haven't seen Bush, the time difference and a busy schedule stopped me. It's out there on the web, but I've read several reports already and don't think I'll bother. If you agree, you might try to convince me why you feel he was so right. I only heard, from people I find believable, that it was all utterly directed, even the pauses were fake, the words sounded just as the people would have wanted. I can't believe in a president who hasn't got the skills to be there, just the connections. Whatever he says. It just means that the real power is somewhere else. Which scares me even more, because I don't know who it/they/he/she is, what the hidden agenda is about.
But I completely agree on the fact that it is good that at least we can discuss. Was it Voltaire who said: "I do not agree with what you say, but I'll defend your right to your opinion with my life", or something amongst these lines. Freedom of speech is a huge right!
