I guess there is no way that the right wing can accuse him of using a teleprompter. I haven't heard a politician who can speak like that since President Kennedy. Can you imagine the sounds that would have come out through the speaker, if that speech had been given by a president Romney?

I can hardly wait for the presidential debates to begin in the Fall.
