The eloquent and charisma is easy...delivering on the rhetoric is what most Americans prefer.

I always think a good measure of an individual is promises kept VS promises made.

For me personally I prefer good speakers, who know their subject and can talk from knowledge, not a script. Speakers who consistently rely on scripting are either not knowledgeable or want what they said documented...I really believe Obama is a deficient speaker, using what staff puts in front of him for what ever is the next group he is to face...or a shoring up of the personal status. In my humble opinion.
