Well, if I thought he was a talented publice speaker my opinion might be different.
Further, my children are too young to have a teacher express their personal views in class.
And could someone point me to the speeches that Carter, Reagan, Bush #1, Clinton and Bush #2 all made? Let's then do a comparison of the content of those speeches and the content of Obama's peech.
