I just heard the broadcast of the press conference with Tony Blair and George W. Bush at Camp David. The difference in eloquence between them is staggering and, yes, embarassing.
Example: Asked about the recent shift in estimates of the duration of the war, Bush answered. "However long it takes", followed by a few reiterations of the same thought, with little information added. Blair reminded the questioner that with the glut of coverage, it's easy to forget that it's only been one week, noted in detail what has been accomplished in that week, stated why he thought that question shouldn't be emphasized while giving credence to opposing perceptions, and reiterated the key points again.
Overall, in the segment I heard, Blair had a word count ratio of about 10 to 1 over Bush. I was most impressed with the way that Blair acknowledged opposing positions while emphasizing his own. What a statesman.
