Obviously Mickey's posts reflect his opinion, POV, and partisanship.I just have to ask, in your 100% honest opinion Mickey.
When you see a video of Trump speaking at a rally and you see a video of Obama speaking at a rally, do you really think that Obama is the one that sounds utterly incompetent? I just find this absolutely amazing if that's the way you feel.
I take it you're not planning to vote for Obama in November?
Must have been a slow news day at Gateway Pundit if they're worried about the guy who's leaving office in 6 months.
I hope that he'll take HRC with him.
Obama is our best hope right now.

But just after seeing that speech yesterday on CNN, it did occur to me the President's ability to deliver excellent rousing speeches has seemed to slip lately.
I was strongly taken by the utterly bland plasticity of the optics and audio provided at the event!
It just seems anything to do with the former Madame Secy comes-off as contrived & set-up.
I think you are definitely right in his abilities vis a vis other politicos.I didn't watch the entire speech, just the clip provided, but I highly doubt his ability has dropped has declined much. It didn't look like the type of event that suited a rhetorical masterpiece of a speech. It was a stump speech. Like most. To me, Obama's speeches on a bad day trump any speech making ability of any of the people that have run in 2016, including primaries. Hillary and Trump can't hold a candle to him. It's just reality.

I've noticed his speech-making being more bland & blase for awhile, though.
Not that he's bad - not at all, but his usual standard is so amazingly high!
To the bolded: :lamoYou could be right. He ate everyone's lunch in 2008. His speech on race in america was one of the best I've ever heard from anyone in my lifetime. A normal stump speech might very well seem bland compared to his more grandios speeches. But I'm not sure how well one of those would have gone over. And as president I'm sure he's wary of upstaging the current candidate, which he could do in a heartbeat imo.
He will be living rent free in your brain forever.
He won, twice.....get over it.

Hope for what? Ineptitude?

But you know, you may be on to something here.

Yes, agreed."contrived & set-up", "bland plasticity" I agree. She's not very genuine in her speeches. Comes off as a complete fake, telling people what they want to hear and then turning around and changing her position a few days later. (i.e. Put coal out of business, and then begging for their votes later :roll.
Obama is going have to do better on the campaign trail shoving Hillary down the nation's throats.

I know you aren't asking me but I think that many people haven't really listened to most of Trumps speeches.
Yes, agreed.
In terms of some of the basic performance mechanics, Hillary is a poor candidate.
She can be reasonably decent in debate on occasion, but if not fired-up and challenged even here she's prone to slip into boring mendacity!
