Relief that our President will be able to string words, and thoughts, together in a manner befitting a great nation.



Ever heard him speak something non-rehearsed? He's no better than Bush aside from word usage.



Yes I have, many times. Even when speaking extemporaneously, his ideas have clarity and amazing forethought.

Without a doubt he has studied the issues and is incredibly prepared.

Yeah, he pauses a lot and injects his speech with "umm..s" and "aaahs". Its only because he is exceedingly careful with his words when he knows he is on the record. Personally, I wish he would loosen up a bit in these cases, but that is the "politician" in him (not wanting to get caught with gotchas).

However, I have seen behind the scenes footage of the DNC Convention where he is just clowning around and his speech is much more flowing as he is not discussing hard policy issues (that require concise wording).
