Never has been.

Not a knock on him, vast majority of people are not.

He's adequate at this, at best.

MHO.

I'd rather not get into specific criticisms, he's a great man.

This type of oration is just not really his forte.

MHO, ymmv.

I couldn't believe I was hearing someone praise the "accomplishments" of the former guy as a straight line and not a comedy monologue.

Not a lot of I and me. Even his speech stumbles are a bit endearing.

The guy who was king of England during World War II had started out life with a massive stuttering problem. He hired a speech therapist and overcame his stuttering problem. If you listen to his speeches, slow and measured and full of hidden pain and obvious empathy, he learned to use his disability to increase the power of his communication to England and to the world. I think Joe Biden is doing something very much like this.
