I can't wait to watch the Republican Convention just to see just how much I don't understand of their language these days.

There are many brilliant orators who are and were despicable people, able to persuade with passion or personality.  I am NOT suggesting Obama is a despicable person in the least so don't read it that way.  I find that reading what someone has to say in a speech takes the magic of personality and charm or whatever the individual possesses out of the equation so I can focus on what they've actually said.
