"They hate us because we are free." Possibly the dumbest thing ever uttered by a President not named Clinton.

What is there about this statement that offends you so?

People don't hate abstractions, and freedom is an abstraction, especially to those that do not have it. It's like hating "hope". They may wish they had it; they may do what they can to get it; but they don't hate others becuse they have it.

One of my favorites was during the campaign. I think it was at the AL Smith dinner in NY. Gore was there, I think its a traditional thing. Anyway, Bush is speaking and he brings up the NY Times. He says "I like the Times. They're predictable. If I win next week, their headline will read 'Gore Wins NY. Setbacks Elsewhere'"

It doesn't offend me. I find it laughably stupid.

My interpretation of what he was saying, or intending to say, is that the leaders in those societies consider our societies to be libertine, resent it, and take drastic steps to prevent such liberties in their societies. They live in theocratic States. Do you think I'm being too generous? Or are you being too critical?

I'm not sure what words were said, but I think one of the President's finest moments was in the days after the attack on 9-11, when he went up to Ground Zero at NYC. He was standing on a stage of some sort (may have been a pile of debris) to address the nation, and one of the firefighters was up there with him. When the cameras came on, the firefighter started to get off of the stage. The President grabbed him, hugged him, and kept him up on the stage. It was a terrifically touching moment.

I also liked, at one of the Naval Academy commencement addresses, when the Anchor (the Middie that finished last) got his degree (and his commission? Is that when they get their commissions?). The kid was so happy and thrilled, and the President just enjoyed the moment. Again, not words exactly, but they show his character.

I think the biggest gaff he ever made is when he was on the campaign trail in 2000.

He was on a stage walking around with a microphone and he said "My opponent thinks Social Security is some kind Government Program" and their was 3 or 4 seconds of complete silence and he didn't even realize he screwed up, he just grinned and moved on, Gore used it against by saying "Well DUH!"

One of the only times Al Gore had one up on GWB

Well, it wasn't phrased as eloquently or clearly as it could have been.

Says a lot for Gore that the best he could come up with was, "Well DUH". I quit saying that in the 7th grade.

His appearance at the World Series, immediately following 9/11, still gives me goose bumps. I was simultaneously very fearful and filled with admiration.
