WHAT ORATOR? He sounds like a nervous jackass. What is sooooooooo great about his oratories? The stuttering, the lack of specifics, and the same tired points what is there to gush over?

Actually Bill Clinton was an awful speaker, if we're talking about oratory.

His 1996 acceptance speech, "Bridge to the Future," did what it was supposed to, but the rest of his speeches and his delivery weren't particularly impressive.

Apparently he was better at informal communication, and of course, the "one on one."

And why always drag in Hitler? That's where a lot of people tune out or turn against one's argument.

They presume that Hitler gets brought up because one doesn't really have a very good case. Godwin's Law and all that.

Well, this is the society that can take a plain ordinary woman and market her to become a movie, music and TV star. Marketing is the world we live in and it is showing.

Great speaker? Not even with a teleprompter. He comes across as phony as it gets.

And that voice? (fingernails on the blackboard)

I haven’t even gotten to the impromptu stuff yet . . .uh, er, ah, hmmmm . . . .oh yeah, he’s out of his league there.

I am always amazed at the people who claim that ZeroBama is a great orator and chalk it up to the fact that orators such as Everitt Dirkson are no longer on the public stage. He.was.an.orator.

ZeroBama is average for a teleprompter speaker and I am better than him in an off the cuff speech.

0bama is not a great speaker. He can read but his delivery is flat and he drones on and on top of that his voice is bothersome and unappealing.

If he was in the radio business he would have been fired long ago.

McCain is too soft spoken, too monotone, he speaks and you snoooooz. Obama speaks and gestures, he speaks to his audience and is animated. As a military person, McCain ,just doesn’t have that command voice or presence that motivates. Sorry, if this offends anyone but that’s how I see it. I’ll vote for him because he seems down to earth and honest.

Moses did not have the gift of being articulate, but, he used his brother Aaron to do his speaking for him. He was no less of a leader because of this. Maybe Gov. Palin can be McCain’s Aaron.

Simply put, liberals especially are prone to STYLE over SUBSTANCE or IOW it is NOT what you say or believe as long as you LOOK and SOUND good saying it.

That being said a young Democrat today on FOX's live streaming "Strategy Room" was asked why she was voting for OBAMA and her answer stunned me.

She said her and EVERYONE she knows that is her age grew up on the internet and that the WORLD wants OBAMA and that our standing is the world is awful and his election will elevate that standing.

IOW the world thinks we suck and therefore we must suck and the only way we won't suck is if we elect someone the WORLD doesn't think sucks!!

A true college graduate nitwit, indoctrinated by the left. A truly lost soul!!
