Can this presidency be saved?

Asks The Washington Post:

He could give meaning to his statement of seven months ago, in an artfully staged speech from New Orleans: "We have a duty to confront this poverty with bold action." That's the last we heard of it; what if he decided to show it wasn't just a sound bite to get him through hurricane season?

To which I would respond, how can a man, who can't speak a word of sense without a teleprompter, say anything with meaning?
