Worthy of repeating:
President Obama’s strongest talent is not his speechifying, which is frankly a bit of a snoozeroo. In Europe, he left ‘em wanting less pretty much every time (headline from Britain’s Daily Telegraph: “Barack Obama really does go on a bit”).Heh. It's Mark Steyn at National Review Online.
That uptilted chin combined with the left-right teleprompter neck swivel you can set your watch by makes him look like an emaciated Mussolini umpiring an endless rally of high lobs on Centre Court at Wimbledon.
Each to his own, but I don’t think those who routinely hail him as the greatest orator since Socrates actually sit through many of his speeches.
