The Wall Street Journal reports that Bush has changed his speaking style:
The Texas strut and drawl may have worked well to win votes and given Mr. Bush a regular-Joe appeal in his first four years when he still faced re-election. Now that he is trying to sell an ambitious second-term agenda — overhauling Social Security and the tax system, in addition to helping bring democracy to the Middle East — his remarks are often more conciliatory and appear to be targeted more at congressional critics and European leaders. Playing to that crowd means Mr. Bush portrays himself a bit less as a Texas Ranger and more as an Ivy League-educated chief executive — which of course he is.
