His voice is strong and even and the inflections on certain words make it sound good.  If you're going to criticize him for throwing in an occasional "uh," while not appreciating what he does very well, you're not being very reasonable.

Take this video, for example:



Even though it's a mash-up and has clearly been edited, listen to what he's saying.  Everything he says is specifically crafted to be inclusive, to make the average person feel empowered.  His voice has energy.  He employs a common literary technique known as the tricolon, which you'll notice is what Abraham Lincoln used much of in the Gettysburg Address.

You don't have to like Obama or his constituency to appreciate just how well he can speak.

It's a step in the right direction in dealing with inflation, IMO. When we were on the gold standard 100+ years ago or whenever the **** it was, inflation was like ~.1 percent, then we left it and the rest is history.

If inflation were the only thing to worry about you'd be right, but economists agree that the new system meant more prosperity as well as more inflation. Basically, banks can afford to lend out more now, so there's more risk and reward.

Even if he's one of the exceptions that has a large part in writing his own speeches, he just isn't all that appealing to me. I admit, he uses certain techniques and devices very well, but overall it just isn't captivating to me. Or maybe that's because I know it's mostly all just crowd-pumping. The breaks he uses I often find are too long, especially if he's trying to appeal to the younger crowd. He uses them so often in his "impact" speeches that they become less intense.

He's definitely a far better orator than any other american political figure today, but that's really not saying much. I guess I just measure speakers against amazing figures like MLK, Margaret Thatcher, Hitler (I know you can admit he was a great speaker), Joel Osteen, etc, and it's really not fair.

That's perfectly fine, and I do agree that sometimes he can come off as a bit disingenuous.  But despite our personal preferences, I think it's pretty clear that he's able to move crowds on an emotional level incredibly well; and, isn't that the measure of a great speaker?
