Truth be told, Barack Obama may be the most charismatic and articulate public speaker in America today.

This is such nonsense. He's an average reader of teleprompters who starts and stops in 4-5 word bursts in an annoying fashion. His content is non-stop transparent lies and analogies based on false history lessons. He's a blatantly arrogant salesman, and a lousy public speaker.

Good public speakers inspire, educate, tell the truth, and speak mostly from memory...in long flowing sentences with proper rising cadences. I'd give Obama a 4 for public speaking.

If that's true, the standard for "charisma" has been lowered to limbo level.

Of course, Clinton was said to be charismatic, too. Yet, I never detected what they were talking about -- unless "charisma" was a synonym for "exceptionally good liar".

In Obama's case, maybe "charisma" means "demagogue"...

” I’d give Obama a 4 for public speaking. “

I’d agree on the rating, but change public speaking to reading.

Watch him, that’s all he’s doing, and his side to side head movements show he’s skilled at switching to give the apprearance of actually looking a somebody.

I’ve yet to see him stand there, and give a complete answer while looking directly into the camera

I agree...when you're right, you're right...

Unfortunately, by the time this clown is up for reelection the country is gonna be such a hellofa mess that it'll take at least a decade or more to begin repaying the national debt and turn this whole mess around. At least when FDR left office, we had a growing, working Middle Class capable of bringing the economy around and paying off the national debt... a luxury that we don't have now and will not have in four years if ever again...who says “Communism is dead!”
