    I see that the majority are either confused by your question, are not educated, or just need to get a dictionary and look up the word " orator."

    Not only is he a great orator but he says what the sheeple want to hear. His voice resonants and he is a good looking man. So why doesn't everyone like him? Because making a lie sound good and telling the truth are not the same thing.

    Perhaps dear FumbDuck, you have been conditioned as I have by the GOP and the TEA and the many Dems and politicians of the past to listen with jaded eardrums. But the worst of them all are the Libertarians who aren't really so much politicians as they are anarchists. I think you have been dumbed down by the right wing. Just because you've come to believe as much is drummed into US that some things are just not feasible, but just because we're taught to believe certain concepts are not possible, doesn't mean they aren't.

    Funny you should use the term "sheeple" because you definitely are responding like one. I spent years working in bars, all people give clues to their sincerity and level of honesty by gestures, facial expressions, and postures. Watching all the candidates...they're all lying at some point, but Obama exhibits the least dishonesty I've seen in decades. He's clear, concise, and the only dishonesty he shows in the least is when he expresses some of his hopes, this makes me know he sometimes realizes the formidable opposition to his good governance, other than that he's a very honest and sincere guy.

    Ron Paul is another man who's dead on sincere on what he's talking about. However he is stretching his knowledge considerably, what he's taking for truth is s...

    Ron Paul is another man who's dead on sincere on what he's talking about. However he is stretching his knowledge considerably, what he's taking for truth is some ironic idealism. But he's not stupid by any means. I think that if he can't deliver what he thinks he can, he'll be informing the nation of that post haste.....but unlike Obama, he lacks the creativity to continue to try to; "MAKE IT WORK", as Obama has been really straining at. He's up against HUMONGOUS money who have been accustom to getting what they want at any cost. And the GOP mostly have been giving it to them....and now, their little pet TEA Partiers are place in the position to fall right in the trap, so they're shall we say? SPOILED ROTTEN. Obama and the Democrats have thrown down some serious trumps, and now most of the nation knows we're failing because of GRAFT pure and simple.

    The one you absolutely do need to vote against who ever you choose, is ROMNEY. If ever there was an untrustworthy hatchet man, that's the man. Massachusetts who are actually really and truly staunchly conservative for an historically Democratic state, can and have voted Republican. However, today........they're so dead set against ROMNEY, who was their Governor, so they should know, they're like 80% against Romney but only 65% for Obama. What does that tell you? Romney lies with his whole being. He's a true life Eddie Haskel of Leave it to Beaver. I kid you not. PERFECT arch-typical wolf in sheep's clothing.

    If you just can't stand Obama, at least vote for a genuine man....Paul's your choice. I will stick with Obama.

    Without a teleprompter he's a dunce. He lies about stupid things that don't matter, like President Hayes being opposed to technology in an attempt to discredit his political opponents. He has researchers on staff, why can't they find valid examples to support their boss rather than have him make &hit; up.

    DUDES, That WAS Hayes' first reaction. But it was Grant who actually said it. Obama's joke writers were stealing some old Reagan material:
    In 1985 Ronald Reagan used the remark attributed to Hayes as part of a joke about his own longevity [RRHT]:

    At a recent ceremony in which technology awards were given, Reagan recalled that President Rutherford B. Hayes once was “shown a recently invented device.”

    “‘That’s an amazing invention,’ he said. ‘But who would ever want to use one of them?’ He was talking about a telephone. I thought at the time that he might be mistaken.”

    He needs to join Toastmasters. We actually had a discussion about his poor, off promoter speaking skills during a meeting. It didn't matter what the political opinions were, and they are varied, but we ALL agreed he needed to find a club.

    People want to throw out the fact that he depends heavily on a teleprompter (which he does), but guess what? Not everyone can read a written speech with eloquence. There's a reason why most of us will never have a career in radio or reading the news.
