OK, we all know the President isn’t the most elequent guy ever and that a lot of people really like is ‘down home’ talkin. But when the leader of the free world can’t even put together a series of coherant sentances while trying to explain his plan that we should all buy in to, there’s something seriously wrong.

From a ‘townhall meeting’ last week in Florida, GWB tries to explain how is Social Security plans will fix the ‘crisis’ he and others in the GOP keep harping on about:

Q — really understand how is it the new plan is going to fix that problem?

THE PRESIDENT: Because the — all which is on the table begins to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There’s a series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting those — changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to get what has been promised more likely to be — or closer delivered to what has been promised.

Does that make any sense to you? It’s kind of muddled. Look, there’s a series of things that cause the — like, for example, benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we calculate — the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if those — if that growth is affected, it will help on the red.

Okay, better? I’ll keep working on it. (Laughter.) – whitehouse.gov

So I was all like trying to — ya know — figure out what he was ahh, talk about. But then, ya know, I see a bird — and a skinny bird, hardly worth eating like the turkeys we used to grown on the ahhh, ranch — and the bird… Well it was a bird. HAH! *wink* (Laughter)

Adorable!
