The President Has to be a Great Speaker

“Delivery, Delivery and Delivery” Demosthenes

Presentation is the biggest quality of a President. I don’t mean the sexiness of the suit or the cut and shade of the dress — although these things certainly may embellish. I mean, that the President has to be a master of the delivery and the art of speaking. Look at Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, John Kennedy and both the Roosevelts. They all could command attention and convey a message powerfully, tenderly, sincerely and eloquently. These skills were not incidental, but vital, to their winning of their office.

However talented (and wealthy) Mike Bloomberg is, he is not one of the above — he speaks like an advisor.

The 2020 candidates speaking abilities

Bernie Sanders scores well for delivering his message confidently, deliberately and honestly (independent of the content of the message). The bellowing raised outstretch of arms has made Bernie iconic — the “real McCoy” of the left wing. His performance is simple, well practiced and never fails to arouse. Elizabeth Warren, too, has a gift. But her manner and voice are impatient and lack the fundamental ingredient — that of being able to listen! Here, Warren fails miserably, and will vehemently reply, even before the question has been asked — “this is not so”. Applause for her thousands of selfies, however, these are a “this I can do” substitute for real connections with people. Amy Klobuchar is a competent speaker. Determined and sure of her lines, but shy on delivering the big picture. Klobuchar talks from the workings of the trenches instead of projecting herself from the hilltop — more a “How To” than “What can be done” book. Vice President Joe Biden, in his best performance, can not string two sentences together without a fumble (regardless of the reason — it does not matter). Perhaps he never could — and now that he is in his late 70's? Well, Joe Biden is not an I Claudius. Pete Buttigieg probably has the best speaking ability of all the 2020 candidates. He embraces the attention of all he encounters, and can be heard listening — just like Obama, JFK and “I feel your pain” Clinton. His fewer years and lack of Charles de Gaulle or Lyndon Johnson physique, only make him bigger.

Pete Buttigieg will become older, stronger and even more articulate in his journey to the White House.
