#1 Quite true that Hussein Obama is a great extemporaneous speaker. He has a deep, rich speaking voice. His experience as a lecturer in front of law school classes is serving him well. She, although a law dog also, never really practiced law. She did paperwork in law offices. This does not require quit wit as acquired when pleading to a jury, where a few skillful words and phrases can turn a proceeding totally around. So, Obama is much better in front of an audience. But, what about formulating policy ? This requires cold blooded consideration, especially when dealing with the likes of Putin, who has consolidated his iron grip in Russia. Obama thinks he can "reason" with everyone and things will be fine. Maybe look deep into his soul like G.W. So, maybe the little homemaker is a better bet in the long run.

#2 She is simply not very experienced at responding to cross examination from the media or opponents.

She actually has plenty of experience, but she has simply not been very good at it and is not getting any better.

#3 For a long time we got leaders from the Senate which means our leaders could verbally spar. Then we got leaders from the Governers mansions around the nation because they had executive experience but governors do not really debate so our leaders seemed a bit shallower, all we really got were sound-bites.

I think we need a combination of the two. We need politicians to set up a career track of becoming a Senator and then a Governor if they think they want to be President.

This points to the problem with W. Good on the vision thing, lousy on the communication thing.
