What's up with you people? So what if the president needs help saying a few words? Can you say Kyrgyzstan correctly off the top of your head? Leave the president alone, he works very hard for all of you and he deserves your graditude.

[Warren DeMontague]

3. Leaving aside the misspelling, "Kentucky Fried Movie" comes to mind.

Master Klahn has our gratitude!

[Captain Hilts]

4. He's a HUMAN BEING - CAN'T YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE???????

[earthboundmisfit]

7. "You're lucky he even showed up to make a speech to you BASTARDS!"

"Leave President Bush ALOOONE!" *sob*

[PetrusMonsFormicarum]

5. He may work hard

but it certainly ain't for all of us.

Welcome to the American presidency, the only job where being well-spoken and articulate is a serious drawback.

6. Works hard for me

Ha that would be a joke if it wasn't so insulting. I think the guy that posted that is an aid for Cheney

[spotbird]

8. Bush is the President of the United States

forgive me if I expect more from him. Oh yeah, if I were President I'd learn how to pronounce the other nations' names, even if it was boring.

[Frustratedlady]

9. We'd like to leave him alone, but he keeps showing up for work!

He can be alone in Texas, Paraguay, wherever he wants to go...just get outta the WH!

Simple, see?

[MrCoffee]

12. Works Hard ??...Are we talking about the same Guy that has had more....

[rockymountaindem]

UPDATE: It should be noted that, despite the best efforts of his speechwriters, President Bush did end up botching a few pronunciations. FP's Joshua Keating caught the president flubbing Aung San Suu Kyi (though he quickly recovered) and "Kerzigstan". He did manage a nice rolled "r" on "Peru," however.

Here are three short mp3 clips from his speech:

* Aung San Suu Kyi
* Kerzigstan
* Perrru

15. Leave Bush alone

Just leave him ALONE. HE's a HUMAN BEING. He's going through a tough time. His approval ratings are down. He loves his children. JUST LEAVE HIM ALONE!


Sorry, couldn't resist. Gotta love the Chris Crocker defense, it is so lame.

17. There are several versions

This one's not bad.
