Would Senator Kerry have made a good president?

I think Kerry would have done at least a C+ also. When that election was going on and he and Bush were debating I was immediately impressed with Kerry.
He just seemed more human. He got his thoughts across without acting like an asshole. He seemed to be someone who would be a good negotiator and communicator. And I was impressed with what he had to say.
Bush always comes across like he's talking down to everyone, like he's bothered by and annoyed at all the reporters asking questions at the press conferences. Arrogant and conceited and with the wrong mentality. Sorry, I don't respond favorably to people like that.
And I'm not even "book smart", I never went to college but I have lots of life experience and street smarts. I trust my intuition when it comes to people.

You trusted right. Bush's admission to and progress through all kinds of prestigious schools certainly didn't leave him any kind of smart.

I dont think he would have been a great president, but I have a feeling he would have been better than Bush.

Too bad we can't find out.

I think anyone else that was in the top 2-3 of the hunt for each party's nomination for either side would've done far better than Bush in the 2 administrations he's had.

Domestically, Bush's tax breaks only proved one thing, rampant inflation is the rule when you announce people will have more money in their hands, it becomes a mad rush for the wolves/sharks to get to it first. Then when those wolves/sharks don't back off, it becomes a feeding frenzy on those that are working class, is it any wonder you wind up with exactly what we have right now.

And in case anyone asks, I don't think 9/11/2001 happens if Bush isn't our President. That's not to say the plan wouldn't be there/attempted by the terrorists, I think the continuity of transition from Clinton to Gore would've been better than the disruption that Clinton to Bush was. Bush wasn't and still isn't qualified to be leader of this nation, regardless of the number of votes in his favor.
