“All a Perry will need to do is say something like “Yes, Obama is a fantastic Orator. Did I mention that Texas added more jobs in the last 4 years than the rest of the US combined?””
Good points. Perry could even make light of his speaking shortfalls in a good way; if it was done well.
It's too bad we have to elect a orator instead of a leader. But in today's age; speaking skills are very important.

Actually, he has great speaking skills. He can get the room so wound up they’re screaming and whooping. He’s just not good at a 30 second sound bite because he’s a slow talking man. Americans actually LIKE slow talking men, but they’re not good at debates.

Perry gave a VERY good speech Sat. night. He even took a jab at his debate performances. He handled it just right.
It would be too bad if we choose a president based on his debating skills. Obama can't give a speech without a teleprompter.
