your = possessive adjective
you're = you + are

You guys are dumb. The 9/11 commission's report says that our biggest problem was a lack of imagination. We didn't think that the terrorists would take our own places and crash them into buildings. That's what he's alluding to. That we are now doing our best to think of ways that the enemy would harm us so that we can see the signs when they're there.
I'm the bawss.

He should at least pretend he's a smart person.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

Apparently whoever wrote that speech didn't realize how petty and stupid you would all be to think he means his administration wants to kill Americans. I think it speaks less of yourselves. I knew exactly what he meant when I read the text of that speech.

And talking stupid would somehow not make them stay stupid?

I think you are scraping the bottom of the exuse barrel, NodBugger (and Crimson).
We all know Bush can't handle those long, confusing, hard-to-pronounce words...or those shorter difficult words. He is a man that always tries to use a low vocabulary, because if he doesn't, he runs the risk of getting confused and making up a word, like "misunderestimated".
This has nothing to do with the size of his vocabulary. He said something that grammatically, no matter which way you stretch it, meant that "the United states never stops thinking of ways to harm Americans." There was no allusion to anything, just idiocy.
If you think that a man who doesn't have a firm grasp on his native language is fit to run this country, than by all means...vote Bush.

I have disagree there. Someone who doesn't have a firm grasp can be fit to lead, though usually not very well overall. I bring to the table as an example, the former Canadian Prime Minister. A common joke up here is that he knew neither official language. Sure he could speak it, but either due to the partial paralysis in his face, or some other factor, he would easily slip up. He was in power for a number of terms, only recently stepping down due to a "misplacement" of funds. I'm not saying he's the best PM we've had, far from it... but it doesn't mean he wasn't capable of the job.

You are petty and stupid. I can't believe this is even worth a discussion. The 9/11 commission said that we lacked imagination. They said they we didn't think of the possibility of them hijacking our own planes and using them as weapons.
Then Bush says that his administration is now thinking of ways that our enemies might harm us. It makes perfect sense to me. It shows that the president is ACTING ON what the 9/11 Commission recommended be acted upon. But yet again... this wouldn't help you libs, so you have to nitpick on one possible interpretation of the words he used instead of their meaning.
I think "I actually did vote for the 87 million before I voted against it" ranks up there in the stupid phrases category. Knowing what Kerry MEANT by that changes the interpretation of those words, but the words themselves sound like he's saying "I am a flip-flop". I fail to see how you can differentiate the two sentences.
I'm the bawss.

Then why do you defend his phrases so much, then say I'm "scraping the bottom of the excuse barrel" when I do the same? Double standards? Hypocrisy?
