From the beginning, in the 2008 election campaign, and ever since, I never could make it past the opening minute or two of ANY of his speeches - it was a non-rational sense I have. Now I know why.

Two options, you choose: (1) we be hypmotized by Da One; (2) His speeches are utterly banal and inherently contradictory

My knowledge vs his world view and his political view was, by themselves, enough to make me change the channel within the first 30 seconds of any speech he’s made (to keep my blood pressure in check). But, there was something else - something reason alone could not qualify - in his oration, that I could never put my finger on, that just said to me that this guy was - in his speeches - 100 times slicker than “Slick Willy” ever hoped to be.
