as we've seen for the past 8 years, if you can't speak you can't lead... And why do you think that ability to lead doesn't rely hevily on ones ability to speak?

Being able to speak, and use language is a highly favorable trait in a leader, it allows you to communicate with your country men, and the rest of the world.

I think the thing i want most from a president right now is one who is able to go out and talk to the rest of the world, someone who can start making amends and repairing our global image.

so how again is it a bad thing that he can speak?

hitler was perhaps ONE of the best public speakers. look at what he accomplished as a leader.

get reeeeaaaaaaaaaaaalllll.

there is a difference between making the right decisions and being able to eloquently communicate yourself in front of a crowd.

p.s. don't spend a lengthy time on your rebuttal because i couldn't give a shit after this post.

I think you're worng there, when 'good leader' comes to mind, you don't picture someone who can't orate

MLK, Frederick Douglass, JFK, FDR, Churchil, Carter, Lincoln

great speakers, great leaders

i'm not saying that the ability to speak determines your ability to lead, but it is an important characteristic of a great leader.

but i guess if you're coming from the point of view that he has nothing else going for him the it doesnt really matter

You saying not to reply to this post means you are afraid to back up your claims.

Are you serious comparing a good public speaker to being like Hitler than you should probably go back to retard 101. As for accomplishments he united a country, brought Germany out of one of the largest slumps the world has ever seen (ie getting assfucked from the Treaty of Versailles) and created an empire from the rubble. He was a wackjob yes, but this shows that the ability to speak to and unite the people means a hell of a lot more than droning on and on about policies etc.

Now im going to correct myself, policies matter more than speaking but if you can speak, your policies come out in a way which relates to the people much better.

Dude, he accomplished a fucken shitload as a leader (nothing good) so your proving his point yes hitler was a great speaker and set fuel throughout his nation and the nazis were such passionate patriots, Hitlers speaking ability motivated his people almost dominating the world.

then why even bother posting? yes hitler was a good speaker, and he did a great job leading germany down into the moral abyss your point fails to find relevence to what i said

Yes -- being a great speaker doesn't automatically qualify you to be a great leader, but it's not an attribute to hold against someone whos going to be a leader

You cannot be a great leader if you are not a great speaker.
people cannot railly around someone who is studdering and looks like an idiot while trying to adress a very serious issue. it becomes very distracting.
try to name one great leader, who wasn't a great speaker.

i am a joke. why the fuck dont you read about obama learn the fucking truth about the guy and then talk to me. learn about the people he associates himself with. communists, people that blow up the pentagon and nyc police station, people that steal millions of dollars in real estate deals, and that fuckin pastor of his jesus. then go and learn about all the shit he has done, start by going to www.obamatruth.com or whatever that site is.

wanna be black bahaha how so?? I mean i did grow up in a household full of black people so maybe that rubbed off on me a little bit, dont come on here pretending like you know me and you know what you are talking about. you are prolly just another 18 year old kid that thinks he knows what life is and what politics are.

Obama's membership in his church is no more an endorsement of Wright's distorted views than is a Catholic's membership in his/her church an endorsement of child molestation.

sorry kid, but your little "association" argument is pure naivete.

and if you buy into the whole "Obama is a Terrorist" fear mongering bullshit, all I can say is. wow...

"You think you know shit you don't"

wow, what an intelligent comeback

And really Obama isn't a terrorist? Thanks for reassuring me Mr. All Knowing and All Wise, I wasn't sure.

As for you're Rezko argument, you insist upon bringing up yet another smear story trying to draw a far line to mischaracterize his position and portray him as some sort of criminal. Bottom line, he never did anything illegal with Rezko, don't come back and argue me saying he did, if he did he would be under indictment with Rezko. And donations made by Rezko to his campaign were donated to charity.

You're beating the bush on a dead issue.

The arguments you give sound like the typical unfounded bullshit that the Clinton campaign spreads.

Smear story ya maybe it is, but really it just shows the kind of people that he keeps close to him. if you hung out with a bunch of preps i would think you are prep if you hung out with pot heads i would figure you are a pot head. obama hangs out with an ex terrorist, dude who makes illegal real estate transactions, a communist, a pastor that is basically anti american. i dont like obama i dont like hillary and i dont like mccain. u can find dirt on all of them. im just saying that maybe it is a smear story but it just shows the kind of person he is and i mean come on people fake fainting at your rallies that is just stupid.

Very true. While some good speakers can be bad leaders, there are no bad speakers that can be good leaders. Being a good speaker doesn't automatically make someone a good leader, but it is a requirement. I respect Obama a lot for his talent as a speaker and his command of language, but it isn't the only reason that I'm going to vote for him. His policies are what attracted me to him as a candidate in the first place, but if he was a bad speaker that would have turned me away. I would never vote for someone like Bush who can hardly formulate a coherent sentence.

Are you fucking serious?
I had no intention on really saying anything, but here's where you're very wrong. The whole Catholic molestation thing is a private issue, that being that they don't go before the congregation and say to have sex with boys. In fact, they would probably say the opposite. Are some of those people criminal hypocrites? Yes, yes they are. Also, many have lost their jobs.

Now with Obama, he chooses that particular church. Not to mention his pastor is the person who is like the teacher, the mediator, between them and their god. He preaches a philosophy of race, and by and large, hate. Once again, this is something that is happening now, openly, and has been for some time, and Obama chooses to be there, as if he, too, agrees with the philosophy. It would seem asinine for such large amounts of people to attend a congregation where they didn't believe what they are being taught. If you had the same thing going on with say McCain, you would have the NAACP on their ass or something.
