i think he's a crap public speaker, but he is far from being an idiot. I voted for him, twice, and I can't speak in public, so why should I hold it against that guy????
Because communicating with the public is a key part of the job of any world leader, especially for the President of the world's sole superpower.
Because so often it's not only what you say but the way you say it, and the way our president says it seems to be uniting the world against us.
Because a President who is a poor public speaker is not doing his job properly.
Because our own personal abilities shouldn't matter. We don't excuse lifeguards if they can't swim just because we can't. We don't shrug our shoulders when our favorite football team's quarterback can't throw a pass. People are accountable for the jobs they are paid to do.
