I was outraged at the “brilliant orator” part. I couldn’t stand to listen to him, nor watch him give a speech. It was like a tennis match was going on in front of him. Hubby used to comment: “Look at teleprompter to the right, look at teleprompter at center, look at teleprompter to the left” -— and you could just keep repeating that thru the entire speech.
Obama IS a smooth con man. Very smooth. Screws up from time-to-time but the reprobate liberals can’t figure it out. He is the equivalent of a Nigerian Scam Artist.
