re: Obama's verbal eloquence...
When you try to scrape that close to the bottom of the barrel, don't be surprised if it doesn't accomplish your goal. All you did was remind us that Obama rarely uses notes or a teleprompter, except for formal speeches, and that he's always thinking on his feet. If he didn't occasionally talk himself into a blind alley you'd know it was all scripted.
Hell, John W. McBush sounds like that when he's reading from a teleprompter! I can't wait for those townhall meetings McBush is insisting upon.
