Hello, everyone. This thread is getting a little heated and interpersonal.

Could we please bring the discussion back to a less hostile and interpersonal state. Thanks!

i have mixed feelings about Obama, but he is a great orator. poor tone is not in his league. there is a shortage of parliamentarians with those skills atm in oz .. bill is only good when he gets fired up, and he seems fairly laid back most of the time.

You beat me to it and someone else too, or was that an echo?

You can't be serious! Obama without his autocue is totally flummoxed, can't talk except in one sentence rote. There is plenty of film out there showing the classic Obama  melt down without his autocue.
