If America is to turn back to righteousness, a gift of oratory is desperately needed. Bill Clinton oozes insincerity with every word he utters. George Bush was sincere, but not an orator. We've descended a long way in twenty years from Ronald Reagan who refused to take off his jacket in the Oval Office for fear of showing disrespect, to one who gladly removes even his underpants. And we've descended from a man who showed the utmost integrity to the point when we've forgotten the meaning of the word.
Integrity is needed too.
George W. Bush is a poor orator. His misstatements have already spawned several web sites. But he can improve. He has no real views on anything, but he can be taught. At a pinch, he could learn ethics and teach them to his staff, but it's a stretch to believe it can be done in time for him to learn the advantages of righteousness before he takes the oath of office.
