I'm not a republican, and you know it.
And even though Shrubbie wasn't anything to brag about in the public speaking arena, he didn't carry out any pretense that he was.....Unlike the current occupant of the WH.
Not only is Obama a good speaker, he's very informed and thoughtful. It's insulting to him that you would even attempt to make the comparison.
I didn't think you were a repub but sometimes you seriously come across that way.
I'm not a repub either. I'm admittedly registered with them, but I don't vote for their mainstream candidates. In fact, since I've been regged with the party, I've only voted for two repub candidates in any election. One was Ron Paul, and the other was a man who ran for the nomination in NJ's gubernatorial primary 2 weeks ago. I only vote for conservatives that are actually conservatives.
Otherwise, like I seem to have to tell a lot of liberals on here, you'd be surprised at how many of my positions you'd probably agree with.
