I never understood why people thought Obama was a good orator. To me he had a terrible slow halting way of speaking. He's the only person who I could speed youtube up to 2x and still feel like he was talking too slow. Most politicians are hard to understand at faster than 1.5x.
I never heard that he gave Bill's wife advise on getting around emails. I guess that's one more thing to hate about him.

Half of the population are retards. You have to talk slowly to them.
He always reads. That's the pause. When he can't read he usually sounds retarded. His metered presentation is used to allow him to read and deliver without giving the impression he's reading.
You were told he was a good orator. That's why he is one.
Obama is the perfect case study in hype. Like rappers who will have someone just there to talk him up, Obama relied on seemingly independent pundits all hailing him as the coming messiah. Without the hype, his speeches are boring and corny.
Wikileaks revealed the email that proved Powell's advice to Hillary. Until then Powell had denied it. But Hillary had already put her private server in place before Powell's advice.
I'll be damned if wikileaks wasn't the single most trustworthy news source of my lifetime.
Yep, it sure is.
He speaks well for a nigger, though. Doesn't grab his dick and say "sheeeeit" constantly.
I read something quite a while ago on Obama's oratory skills and the general smoke and mirrors of his image. I vaguely remember the piece mentioned that he would model his delivery and speaking patterns on Martin Luther King, or generally any other American black pastor-type personality where they throw in biblical vocabulary and associated vocal "tricks" to make it seem as if he was preaching to the flock rather than merely addressing the electorate. I can't remember the exact details, but I do remember the article stating that many of his major speeches leading up to his presidency and those he made after he'd secured the election were high on emotion and rhetoric but without actually presenting anything concrete. It was very interesting, I wish I'd saved the piece.
