I’ve had the pleasure of listening to some magnificent orators in person; Alan Keyes is one of many, and I absolutely do NOT understand how anyone could consider obama an eloquent speaker.
If you must include inappropriate pauses, Uhmmmms, etc. in a speech that is being read from a teleprompter, my money says you probably sat on the bench as a member of your debate club.

Yes I agree, I liked Alan Keyes. I voted for Forbes during his time though. The one that speaks straightforward and with a sense of authority of course is Col. Congressman West. I realize he is in his first term. But I could see him as VP very easily.
When you hear someone speaking that you KNOW is lying to you, no matter how smooth the presentation it’s still a lousey speech.
