    I just don't get it folks! I hear people saying he is such a great speakers/communicator, etc.. WTF?!?!?!
    Are you kidding me!
    I admit he is smart BUT not a great speaker/communicator!
    He reads from a teleprompter 90% + of the time. He speaks slow and intentionally stutters evey 5th word. The past Pres. Kennedy, Bill and Hillary Clinton do circles around this guys speaking ability and I am being VERY SERIOUS!
    I just don't get why so many people think is is such an awesome speaker!

    Not too quick on his feet.  His improv career is dead.

    He's a very smooth talker, and has a nice resonance to his voice...EVERYBODY knows now that he is a big fat LIAR, so nobody is listening to him anymore...I really don't understand why people think he is smart. What did he ever do or say that was smart?  He''s a good LIAR, and he reads other people's words and thoughts well...but what exactly is so smart about him?

    Obama is to Clinton as Bush is to Obama.

    Doubt we'll see another orator like Bubba for quite some time.

    like all presidents, his speeches are written for him so his orating skills shouldnt be important, bit maybe he's being compared to bush who had the grammatical skills of a 7th grader.

    The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred in our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society."

    "Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions." --exasperated by reporters after a news conference

    "You're likeable enough, Hillary." --during a Democratic debate

    "In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed." --on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people

    The truth is the majority of the country feels that blacks are beneath whites when it comes to grammar, education and speaking properly. Say what you want, its the truth. The same thing with black athletes. Especially in college, if you see a black athlete that doesnt speak with that Miami slur, or speak like Shannon Sharpe [rock chewer supreme] and he speaks good English he is seen as being articulate, and a standup guy. It's expected for whites to speak proper english. Obama is black and he speaks well so it is seen as impressive, thus he is deemed a hell of a speaker. I am sure I could have phrased this better but I think EVERYONE understands what I am saying. When a yt speaks good english its as normal as 1+1=2. When a black man speaks proper english he is educated and a great speaker.

    IMO Bush was an embarrassment as the individual who represented our country for 8 years.

    Obama isn't quite to that level yet.... Yet.
