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.

Zer0 used executive order to get his way. He couldn’t sell Girl Scout Cookies.
Oratory powers? LOL. Lately he’s only capable of hissy fits.
Heck, it was Obama who put the “leave” vote over the top with his oratory powers.
Who knows. Maybe he'll be elected the President of the EU, get a salary from Warren Buffet, and giving us constant wisdom about the virtues of global warming terror, anti-colonial tyranny, and open borders.
Yeah - spouting demeaning and insulting lies is “oratory powers”...
Any one who thinks obama is an orator is a
brain dead moron.
The agenda or "project" as they like to call it in Europe is clear out in the open now. Therefore, since the secret efforts are exposed, they need to now "sell" the thing.
Obama isn't trying to sell the country, but only those who put him in office. Who knew this was the "project" all along and the thrust of his Presidency? This is kind of a surprise to those who thought they were voting for something else, labeled as being "progressive". And it sounded like someone and a whole political party was genuinely interested in their lot in life.
Instead they learn (or rather, it becomes apparent) that what was needed was just their vote bought for a price to get on with the "project" of globalization.
Bottom line, Obama and the Dems are selling globalization to their own before there is a landslide for Trump who along with the Brexiters pulled the curtain back on the ongoing efforts.
He reads a TelePrompTer...that’s “oratory?”
Another MSM myth.
“Obama Will Need His Oratory Powers to Sell Globalization”
What “Oratory Powers” does Ophonybama possess other than “hem,” “ha,” “um?”
And, of course, Mafia style threats!
