Globalist: It's a tough act, sure, but Bush pulls it off

<snip>

George W. Bush came to Vegas and it was all too much for Lisa Stroud. After the president spoke in a packed arena, Stroud, 42, stood there with tears streaming down her cheeks. "He's a good man," she said. "And he knows what has to be done to keep us safe."
.
Bush connects. In front of ardent Republican crowds, he pushes the right buttons. Gone is the changeable man of the three presidential debates, by turns smirking, swaggering and smiling. In his place, a confident commander in chief combining glib ridicule of his opponent with stirring evocations of American greatness.
.
The lights dim, the crowd roars, and Bush appears, sleeves rolled up, hands hanging a little too far from his thighs as if displaced by some invisible holster, a man intent on what the baying crowd demands: "Four more years!" He speaks in short, vigorous sentences, his timing well honed, his delivery folksy and forceful. Genuine fervor greets him: real man, rodeo king, rock star.
.
"In the last few years, the American people have gotten to know me," Bush says. "They know my blunt way of speaking. I get that from Mom. They know I sometimes mangle the English language. I get that from Dad. Americans also know that I tell you exactly what I'm going to do and I keep my word."

Much more......

8. You are right. And the article is not really written to praise him.

The reporter seems to be disgusted by his hypocrisy and awed that he is pulling off a bald faced lie in his persona. He also is amazed that the candidate who had the least to offer the middle class poses as one of us.
