Bill O'Reilly was commenting about errors that both Bush and Kerry had made during the debates. I admire Mr. O'Reilly but his comments robbed me the wrong way.

The bottom line is that some of the questions that were being presented to the candidates weren't anything, in my opinion, that could be reasonably addressed in the limited time frames that were alloted to the candidates in the first place. I'll bet that if O'Reilly where asked to jot down what he would regard as appropriate, informative answers to some of those questions that, if he were to then read his replies aloud, he would inadvertently go beyond the time alloted for the responses.

Bush had problems trying to condense the complexities of the war in Iraq and how that war relates to global terrorism because, if anything, he is more honest with himself about the complexities of these things then Kerry is. Kerry may think he has solutions for everything but I'll bet his model of reality is also oversimplified.
