I give her tons of credit. I don’t know how anyone can give a major speech every single day. She’s a very good public speaker too.
I’ll admit there was a time I believed grudgingly that Obama was a good public speaker (during the primaries) but when I listen to him now I get the same feeling I get when I am being lectured to by my profs.

I agree, as well. I actually never understood his appeal as a speaker. To me, any politician’s speech (really, any person’s speech) is only impressive to the extent it’s backed up by action. Just never saw any action in the IL State House or the US Senate to back up the rhetoric…
