WASHINGTON — When President Obama travels to North Carolina and Europe this week, he will press an argument that could define foreign policy in the last six months of his presidency: that Americans and Europeans must not forsake their open, interconnected societies for the nativism and nationalism preached by Donald J. Trump or Britain’s Brexiteers.
Few presidents have put more faith than Mr. Obama in the power of words to persuade audiences to accept a complex idea, whether it is the morality of a just war or the imperfect nature of American society. Yet countering the anti-immigration and anti-free-trade slogans in this election year will require all of his oratorical skills.
In Warsaw, Mr. Obama will sit next to Britain’s lame-duck prime minister, David Cameron, whose political career was ended by his miscalculation over holding the referendum on European Union membership. But first, in Charlotte, N.C., he will campaign with Hillary Clinton, his former secretary of state and the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, who reversed her position on Mr. Obama’s Asian trade deal, formally called the Trans-Pacific Partnership, after many in her party turned sharply against free trade.

rumor has it he has very good oral skills
Regardless, this article is incoherent.
He don’ gots no ofatory powers ....
It is not about free trade it is about control. Our guys are going along with it out of greed. They are proving Lenin’s dictum that the capitalist will sell the rope to his own hanging.
His track record goes back to his failure to win Chicago the Olympics, like 2 days after her got in office.
“In Warsaw, Mr. Obama will sit next to Britain’s lame-duck prime minister, David Cameron,”
I love the way Cameron is the lame duck but not Obama.
Yes indeed. It will take more than that two-bit carny hypnotist.
“Put these shackles on; it is for your own benefit”
Remember, he got the 2016 Summer Olympics for Chicago, his home town. As of now he’s persuaded all the gang bangers to turn in their guns, sit down, hold hands, and sing Kumbaya. Not only that, due to his efforts, no Chicago gang bangers were shot in all of June and the Bloods’ girls and Crips’ boys went onto the Magnificent Mile and had a totally nonviolent giant
Love-in.

"or will we have to buy his own?"
His oratory skills don’t include much more than, “uh, I, mmm, me, hmm, I, uh, me, mmm, I, uh, me...”
Oratory powers? That is a laughable description. If kryptonite doesn’t work I just don’t know what will happen!!!
Verbal diarrhea and political flatulence is no longer accepted as ‘soaring oratory’ Obama Circa 2007. The country is going through Hopium withdrawal. Enough!
NO sale, .. Check the tag ...
There was his effort to get the Olympics. Oh, wait.... :=)
I hope his teleprompter malfunctions and I hope he has the guy who did make believe sign language.
