I am not taking a shot at either the Dems or the Reps. I am just saying who gives a shit about how good of a public speaker the president or vice president is? He or she could be a deaf mute as long as they make wise decisions.

True, a great speaker does not necessarily mean he/she is a great leader. BUT, from someone who is running the country we should have a certain expectation when it comes to being able to communicate effectively.
