The great orator strikes again

I have given many examples that put the lie to the claim that Barack Obama is a great orator. He can give a great speech if he can read it from his teleprompt screens but his off the cuff comments and answers to questions are often barely better than gibberish. John Crace picks up on this, here's an extract but do read the whole piece:

""I, I, would say that, er ... pause [I HAVEN'T A CLUE] ... if you look at ... pause [WHO IS THIS NICK ROBINSON JERK?] ... the, the sources of this crisis ... pause [JUST KEEP GOING, BUDDY] ... the United States certainly has some accounting to do with respect to . . . pause [I'M IN WAY TOO DEEP HERE] ... a regulatory system that was inadequate to the massive changes that have taken place in the global financial system ... pause, close eyes [THIS IS GOING TO GO DOWN LIKE A CROCK OF SHIT BACK HOME. HELP]. I think what is also true is that ... pause [I WANT NICK ROBINSON TO DISAPPEAR] ... here in Great Britain ... pause [SHIT, GORDY'S THE HOST, DON'T LAND HIM IN IT] ... here in continental Europe ... pause [DAMN IT, BLAME EVERYONE.] ... around the world. We were seeing the same mismatch between the regulatory regimes that were in place and er ... pause [I'VE LOST MY TRAIN OF THOUGHT AGAIN] ... the highly integrated, er, global capital markets that have emerged ... pause [I'M REALLY WINGING IT NOW]. So at this point, I'm less interested in ... pause [YOU] ... identifying blame than fixing the problem. I think we've taken some very aggressive steps in the United States to do so, not just responding to the immediate crisis, ensuring banks are adequately capitalised, er, dealing with the enormous, er ... pause [WHY DIDN'T I QUIT WHILE I WAS AHEAD?] ..."

I assume that the BBC did not cover this question and answer even though the question came from their number 2 toady Nick Robinson.

Barack Obama is not as clever as he is made out to be, not as good a speaker as he is made out to be and is considerably more dangerous than most people could believe he might be.



UPDATE:
This appears to be part of the video of the above Barack Obama answer or at least the result of another Obamamessiah teleprompt failure.
