Don't knock him for his oratory
I would like to congratulate you for writing that a candidate who can move and inspire by using the spoken word should not be considered a hindrance. Barack Obama critics have tried to say that because he can make a moving speech, he has no substance - what a foolish notion. All of our great Presidents from Lincoln to Roosevelt to Kennedy have used their oratory powers to lay out issues and motivate people. This is the job of a leader.
