BUSH IS NOT A STRONG LEADER!
A strong leader doesn't sit reading to a group of children when an advisor tells you the country is under attack.

A strong leader doesn't go for the easy way out of serving his country by not showing up for duty to work on an election campaign.

A strong leader doesn't hid from a triple amputee, who has a message for him.

A strong leader doesn't bask in the glory of sign that says, "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED," when clearly the "mission" is such a failure.

A strong leader doesn't cut funding for children's afterschool programs.

A strong leader does not "talk" about his "compassion", nor give those with more, tax breaks, but rather "shows" "compassion" by helping those in need.

A strong leader does not leave our soldiers to "fein" for themselves, once the conquerer has "conquered"

This is George Bush, however...

A strong leader is wise, and admits when he makes them.

A strong leader DOES NOT HAVE TO BOAST ABOUT BEING A "STRONG LEADER."

A strong leader listens and then leads.

A strong leader takes control of his staff when they lie, cheat or steal.

A strong leader doesn't hide behind the cloak of others to do his dirty work.

A strong leader works for the good of ALL people and learns what "works" and what doesn't.

A strong leader VOLUNTEERS TO GO INTO BATTLE FOR HIS COUNTRY.

This is John Kerry.

I know I missed some, so add to it:)

1. Another one:
A strong leader looks to medical science for new technology.

2. Isn't it interesting how much "leadership" has already been used at RNC?
Yet another PR move on the part of Bushco.

4. We shouldn't use the word "strong" in the same sentence with Bush...
BUSH IS A WEAK LEADER. Perhaps the weakest in our country's history...all of our history.

BUSH IS A WEAK LEADER, but I have heard the GOP hammer this home--and the definiton of a "strong" leader, Bush is not.

the word "weak" and "leader" shouldn't even be in the same sentence.

5. Rember the 2000 campaign when Bush was going to run the country
like a business?

I always thought he'd run with a goal that would be good for all employees - not just his key stakeholders. Even though some of his "managers" have fucked up royally - none have been fired. What type of CEO squanders good will and breaks every joint venture (alliance) in an attempt to help a few stakeholders?

Apparently, he's run the business of the US like he's run his other businesses - straight into the ground.

7. If he didn't have his "tough man"
persona that he tries to portray, he would have nothing.

9. Bush is a pack of cards
He reminds me of Through the Looking Glass.

If he didn't have slime Rove at his back, he'd be nothing.

11. "Don't think of an elephant"...
What's the Professor's name that gave this as an example of poor usage of words by the Democrats?
