You are right, Victor, that anyone can be made to look bad by selective editing. However, in this case, one merely has to look at just about any footage of Bush speaking spontaneously--not just the snippets in the movie. The broad image thus created is not a flattering one in term of his linguisitic ability, and muddled linguistic abilities in one's native language is also a often a reflection of one's cognitive abilities.I cannot adequately judge whether Bush is a warm, caring person--but his intellectual inabilities seem blatently obvious to me.
That being said, I know that this topic, and discussion thereof, is not going resolve the polemics--we'll simply have to respect each other's opinions and disagree, and move on to the next movie. :)

I will absolutely agree that Bush is not a good spontaneous speaker - no argument there, and I wish he was better in that area.But whether this correlates to the ability to make right decisions - that is not a given. I know a couple of people - quite bright - who are lousy public speakers. In addition I know I am very prone to stage fright, but I would not consider myself dumb and unable to think logically... how's that for nasty jokes invitation?
Bush is not free of problems, but that is not what the election is supposed to be about... it is about the guy with more right fundamental approach. His conservative one is more right in my view, even if he faulters sometimes... that's all.
