No script? Obama falls short like any other actor…

Do Obama’s struggles without the aid of a carefully worded written speech indicate an inability to synthesize cohesive thoughts?

Here’s the latest example of Obama struggling to find the right words to say and missing the mark by quite a bit:

Not only did he appear, once again, to not be able to honestly speak from a set of core beliefs, but his explanation was ludicrous.

Contrast this performance to the preacher-like manner in which he holds sway over large audiences when reading from a script:

In each of the examples shown in the video above, Obama was either reading froma script on a podium or from nearby teleprompters… and frankly doing so quite well.

This is a valid concern.  Can this man do anything more than read what is written?  No matter how well he reads, it won’t help when it comes time to actually lead this country.

Maybe Obama said it best:

To quote Sen. Obama from 2004:

I am a believer in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job, and I think that, if, I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the senate.  Now there are some people who might be comfortable doing that, but I’m not one of those people.

He has discounted his experience prior to serving in the senate, which is appropriate, so what experience does that leave us to consider when deciding if this man is ready to be President of the United States?  Are we really going to vote based on how well he reads?

Other interesting examples and a similar take from Gina Cobb here.
