Bush 10 years ago vs. Bush now.

That's not that glaring if it's the one I've seen before. They should have used clips of Bush's 10-second or so pause in thinking.

Heck, looking at Bush's post-9/11 speech to now is a huge difference in speaking capabilities.
 
Well, that's glaring enough for me. Bush obviously has some cognitive deficit. It is probably relatively minor from a health standpoint, but the effect is pronounced. We all slow down as we get older, but for most of us it happens in our late 50's early 60's.

Uh, who is this Bush, anyway, uh is this CNN, who is that redhead <wipes dribble from chin, turns on oxygen, falls asleep>..... 🙂

I think it depends upon how much rest he gets prior to his engagements. I posted on this a few weeks ago regarding a letter to the editor in the Atlantic monthly. The letter indicated that bush may suffer from parkinsons and should be evaluated. In case you missed it here is the linky.
 
did you watch the 2nd debate? He looked and sounded like he did back in 1994. And you can't prove bush took cocain or even find one person that witnessed him do it.
 
Booze and cocaine has a devastating effect on the brain over time. Bush actually seems like he is a lot smarter then he is perceived to be in the 1994 video.
 
There was a post here last week about a doc that wrote a letter to an editor saying he recognized the signs of presenile dimentia in Bush.

I can't find one person that witnessed OJ kill his wife, either, which I guess means one day he'll be President too....

there was physical evidence showing OJ did in fact kill his wife and her friend. However, there isn't even evidence Bush took cocain besides what some liberals like yourself assert with absolutely no fact or basis.

Strike 2, I'm a registered Republican. Doesn't keep me from seeing the truth though. Why do you think Bush never denied it anyway?

September 18, 2004?In a letter to the editor of Atlantic Monthly, October 2004, Joseph M. Price, M.D. of Carsonville, Michigan, comments that James Fallows' July/August Atlantic article on John Kerry's debating skills ("When George Meets John"), "was interesting, but most remarkable was Fallows's documentation of President [sic] Bush's mostly overlooked changes over the past decade?specifically 'the striking decline in his sentence-by-sentence speaking skills.'" Dr. Price understands Fallows' initial "speculations that there must be some organic basis for the President's [sic] peculiar mode of speech, a learning disability, a reading problem, dyslexia or some other disorder."

Quoting Fallows, Dr. Carson also agrees with him that "The main problem with these theories is that through his forties Bush was perfectly articulate." Yet, Dr. Carson stated he felt "that something organic was wrong with President [sic] Bush, most probably dyslexia, but . . . was unaware of what Fallows pointed out so clearly: that Bush's problems have been developing slowly, and that just a decade ago he was an articulate debater." He was as Fallows said, "artful indeed in steering questions and challenges to his desired subjects . . . [one] who did not pause before forcing out big words, as he so often does now, or invent mangled new ones." As Dr. Carson suggests, "Consider, in contrast, the present: 'the informal Q&amp;A he has tried to avoid,' 'Bush's recent faltering performances,' 'his stalling, defensive pose when put on the spot,' 'speaking more slowly and less gracefully.'"

Dr. Price suggests that "not being a professional medical researcher and clinician, Fallows cannot be faulted for not putting two and two together. But he was 100 percent correct in suggesting that Bush's problem cannot be 'a learning disability, a reading problem, [or] dyslexia,' because patients with those problems have always had them." The doctor. goes on to say, "Slowly developing cognitive deficits, as demonstrated so clearly by the President [sic], can represent only one diagnosis, and that is 'presenile dementia'! Presenile dementia is best described to nonmedical persons as a fairly typical Alzheimer's situation that develops significantly earlier in life, well before what is usually considered old age."

Dr. Carson adds, "It [presenile dementia] runs about the same course as typical senile dementias, such as classical Alzheimer's?to incapacitation and, eventually, death, as with President Ronald Reagan, but at a relatively earlier age." Dr. Carson adds, " President [sic] Bush's 'mangled' words are a demonstration of what physicians call 'confabulation,' and are almost specific to diagnosis of a true dementia." His advice: "Bush should immediately be given the advantage of a considered professional diagnosis, and started on drugs that offer the possibility of retarding the slow but inexorable course of the disease."

Not to pick at semantics but "liberal" isn't a political party
