in 2008 Obama had the charm of talking his way into the WH with many promises, still unfilled.

What Obama has going against him, good speaker or not, is his 2008 promises not kept.

He is not all that good a debater. He is a practiced/scripted reader.....and very few are not.

All the appearances are canned performances.

While you are entitled to your opinion, to think the "heavy hitters" are staying away from 2012 is kinda incorrect....sounds good....good to believe if he is your man...but just not real. And that is my opinion on it!!
