Speak up Obama
Obama gets a lot of credit for his oratory skills. I've seen and heard him speak, both with a teleprompter in front of him and without. When he's trying to think and talk on his own, he sounds like a stuttering fool. JMHO.

Re: Speak up Obama
Just a reminder that we have had some Presidents who oratory skills were, shall we say, lacking. Jimmy Carter comes to mind. Anyone else think of another?

Re: Speak up Obama
I'm not sure any of the recent ones had off the cuff skills except Reagan.

Re: Speak up Obama
Some are begining to call him Uh-bama. I've never heard anyone given so much credit for speaking ability when they use "uh" as much as he does.

For the record, I've got no real problem with his speech patterns, but his communication skills don't match the hype.

Re: Speak up Obama
Good or bad speaker? What does that even mean?
He's been able to raise more money than any other challenger (including democratic and republican), because of his oratory skills. I agree he pauses think. But if you aren't talking about some kind of real world comparison, saying he's a god or bad speaker is completely subjective and has no meaning. I suspect people that don't like how he speaks, just don't like the content of his statements, so attack it at a superficial level, |

Don't be silly. I think you give Hoppy way too much credit. People that attack the way he speaks never get past that to even listen to the content.
