Don’t flame me for this but #5 is definitely not true. Obama was an excellent commentator. It got him in the White House.

Of course most of what he did was not what we liked, but he was very good at speaking.

he [Obama] was very good at speaking

He was good at articulating speeches that were prepared for him by someone else.

“Obama was an excellent commentator. “

I would rephrase to this this: Obama protected and moderated by the media was an excellent commentator.

Remember, “the police acted stupidly” etc.

“Of course most of what he did was not what we liked, but he was very good at speaking.”

A real comparison to many speakers like Obama is Adolf Hitler who was capable of bringing huge crowds to exaggerated emotional outbursts. And like Obama, Hitler was the archetypal “charismatic leader”. He was not a “normal” politician - someone who promises policies like lower taxes and better health care - but a quasi-religious leader who offered almost spiritual goals of redemption and salvation. And Obama was a mirror image when it came to political persuasion.

LOL! - He was also “Clean and articulate”...

Why even bother to go there? Why is Obama your choice of a “man” who is a good speaker?

Flame on, little tinder-strip....

...Obama was an excellent commentator.

Obama was a teleprompter reader. He was a terrible commentator when speaking off-teleprompter.

He may have been excellent in the sense of communicating three or four word ideas or memes because his voters mainly couldn’t comprehend and retain ideas in phrases longer than that. Go back and listen to him....always three-four words, pause....and then three or four more.
