I don't think he is a good public speaker at all, he is always stuttering. He needs to learn a thing from Hillary, who is a very good public speaker...

[2 points] 1 year ago by deleted user Replywell i guess if you consider stuttering and long pauses good public speaking, then sure, why not....
Listen to the WORDS, cool. It's the rhetoric that counts, not just the delivery.

[2 points] 1 year ago by deleted user ReplyOh, you are so decieved if you think Obama is not going to raise taxes. Keep sticking your head in the sand. Government must take care of you if he is elected. Tax everyone and dole it out as he sees fit to turn our country into a socailist nation. That is what would make him happy. It made Stalin happy.

[2 points] 1 year ago by deleted user ReplyAt the very least - he will make us look good. But I think he will follow through with all that Congress allows him to.
Look good how? He has no experience in world affairs and the terrorist nations are chomping at the bit hoping he will get elected because he wants to weaken our military. Let's all be friends. That would be great if the Muslim nations didn't want us dead!

[2 points] 1 year ago by deleted user ReplyHe looks ok on paper. He at least sounds thoughtful in his book, and seems to learn from mistakes.
Whether he will make a good president, dunno. If taken from the standpoint that a president should be like a CEO, don't see why not.
I don't really see much of a difference between Dems and GOP, though. Ultimately, they all owe their livelihoods to a corporatocracy. There will be very little fundamental change in the way government operates if Obama gets in.
Trust me he is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He hates the way our country is and hopes to destoy it from the inside out and turn it into what has already proved itself a faliure. Socialism. The workers take care of the powerful and the poor. On the backs of men are fortunes made. We have freedom and so many people are willing to give it away for a smooth talking man who has never been heard of before a year ago. He has no plan and is simply interested in POWER.

[0 points] 1 year ago by deleted user ReplyTo me, it seems that fighting corporatocracy and being a good speaker are his only selling points. Much more than that is needed I'm afraid, to make a real change: apart from fighting corporatocracy, big changes are required in foreign policy, the economic 'credit culture', and last but foremost in environmental policy. I'm afraid nothing much will happen when Obama is there.
Still, I think he would do better than the other candidate ...
agreed.
Corporatocracy as you call it is what has made this nation great. Some how, some people are convinced that being successful is evil, but it is the American way, it is what drives your 401k, your banking systems and everything else that has made our nation so great. Poeple in our country live better on minium wage than most others in communist countries where freedoms are squashed. We all have the opportunity to be successful, some just need to get up off their lazy asses and strive for the American dream. You may not get rich but you have the chance. The choice is up to the individual, I'm thankful for that!
Obama is a great speaker when his teleprompter is working. When it was not working, he hemmed and hawed and wasn't too good. The Hillary never went on stage when the TP wasn't working. If elected, will he need a teleprompter to tell him how to be president?

[1 point] 1 year ago by deleted user ReplyWas this comment to me? Sometimes it's hard to tell because of the number of peoples comments in between. The answer is I don't know who I am going to vote for yet. I don't like either major candidate.

[2 points] 1 year ago by deleted user ReplyPoint taken, but don't forget, it goes both ways.
It would be difficult to be worse at speaking than our current president. If only they would quit putting those big words in, he could read the teleprompter.

[1 point] 1 year ago by deleted user ReplyLet's be fair, throwing words around is how people get elected. They have to communicate to the electorate if they want to get anywhere. All politicians try and sound good, all of them say what their target voters want to hear, that crosses all political boundaries, ultimately this is a race and everyone wants to win. You can't get down on either candidate for doing it, they are going to give it their best shot, not leave it to chance.
As to the worth of the substance, guess you have to suck it and see. If you're lucky it'll be blackcurrant.
