Now I know why we have never heard them speak before. I had to leave the room. Why did they put them out there?

Public speaking is not heir strongpoint. I think they wanted to be out there for their father though. While their delivery was lousy their sincerity is not.

They should have spoken before their Mother, and Mrs. Bush before Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Seasoned actors and orators would have trouble if they had to follow a great speech like Arnold's, much less a couple of kids who have never done much public speaking.

I think you have to look at their appeal to young voters. Imagine how you would feel if you are 18, 19 or 20 and voting for the first time. I think they may have great appeal to first time voters.

It humanizes thier father, which is a good thing. They werent put out there to give a political speech, they were put out there to give thier father a human face. Look, Bush is a real person, a real father, with real kids.

While not seasoned public speakers, they really weren't all that bad. I liked the humanization they brought in, especially the quip about their hamster Laughing

Arnold gave a fantastic speech, hard act for anyone to follow. Laura's was good too, but the Fox panel seemed to think it was poor. Maybe they expect another Hitlery?

I think some people have far too high expectations of the girls,
they spoke about their family and themselves. They do not make
many speeches and this was a very tough first one for them.

Give them a break, they are great kids, who wanted to speak for
their dad. Simple as that. Who are we to tell the world they were
awful?

Besides, I like to see Laura and the twins doing what they are
doing because they care about the president, and everyone should
be so lucky to have this family.

I don't think they lost any votes for their dad as I am sure there are
people who enjoyed them, I guess it is in the eye of the beholder.

it was plain to see that they were themselves. At first I was a little uncomfortable for them but then their sincerity and good nature turned into a huge plus.

I would much rather watch them than some fictiional Hollywood produced movie about Senator Poser.

Navy_Navy_Navy was right I think. "They should have spoken before their Mother, and Mrs. Bush before Arnold Schwarzenegger."

They are kids, fresh out of college. Give them a break. Bless their hearts, they got out there for their dad. Smile

Well, neither one of them drooled, which is what I would have probably done if I was put up there. They are pretty normal kids, I'd say. Very Happy

Let's face it, someone else did the writing and the scheduling. The girls had to try to pull it off. It would have been a hard one to do.

I would love to have those darling girls as my daughters. Jenna is a little vixen and I just adore her!

My son (23 yrs. old) said he's gonna vote for Bush just 'cause his daughters are pretty.
