Not Ranked
This was far from his worst performance. Not so good, but not as bad as he has been. Had he opened with his PREPARED remarks about Ft. Hood and then thanked those that were there for other reasons in a slightly more subdued manner, he would have been fine.
Instead he HAD to open like the eternal campaigning politician that he is, and there wander beyond his prepared remarks about Ft. Hood. Speaking, "off the cuff," Bush invented new words, Obama slaughters sentence structure. Amazing that one that orates so well with prepared speeches, stumbles and stutters in normal speech.
Reverse the order and tone down the campaigning and this would have been one of his better moments. Swing and a miss!
