I have never been impressed by the speaking ability of Barack Obama, starting with the first speech I heard him make at the 2004 Democrat convention. His entire snake oil salesman approach with its strawman arguments and false choices does not impress me. But, it seem that most Americans, and maybe most people in the world, are impressed. I would like to see a poll on whcih people are impressed. I suspect that most blacks are, as are most leftists and liberals. This includes most people in the media. I may be wrong, but I suspect that most Texans are not so much impressed. Here is an analysis of the content of Obama speeches.
