Reply #41: I don't think speaking abilities are a fair way to judge someone's passion

Some people are totally full of it but can successfully convince anyone that they believe what are they saying 100-percent. (Some of them are sociopaths...)

Others sometimes stumble over every other word even if they're speaking straight from the heart. (I've had this difficulty at times myself.)

I can't say what I think of how Obama came across because I haven't seen this speech. I just think that, in general, the way that someone comes across in a speech is not necessarily the best way to judge their honesty/passion.
