true but obama can't talk without babeling without script
he managed to talk to O'Reilly.
I did read somewhere that he likes to keep his thoughts hidden. "Friends" said that he liked to ensure that nobody would know his mind. That explains why for most of his campaign is rhetoric. But he can talk if he wants. In 1-1 situations. Maybe with crowds he is different, trying to inspire them.
It was interesting one time when he did try to talk sensibly in front of a crowd, maybe answering a question from one of them that he wasn't expecting. I don't know how he got onto the topic, but he made hilarious mistakes. He put it down to lack of sleep. He confused a breathalyzer with an inhaler, I think saying something along the lines of give the baby a breathalyzer, it was a classic. A number of hilarious mistakes in one brief speech.
