Power Line’s John Hinderaker wrote, and I’m not linking to his post, but rather to Steve Benen’s post on Washington Monthly, because any page views that Hinderaker gets will just encourage him:

Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn’t raise his standards, he will exceed Bush’s total before he is inaugurated.

I’m sure that someone from The Onion read this, and had to check and see if someone on their staff had actually written it.
