Remember what a goor orator Obama is? And still he was bludgeoned by those who didn't like teleprompters, who didn't like he stopping to gather his thoughts with so may "ahhh" 's. It would take a virtual God to have it be universally accepted that someone gave a good, comfortable, flowing speech......it is inevitable that her speech will be slammed, not for it's content, but delivery. Just waiting.
