@derp - Well it doesn't matter at all if I agree or disagree with you on the issues. I don't vote in America. Of course, I have a preference, as I think one of the two would be better for my country, but that is outside the scope of this argument.
I haven't heard of that movie. To tell the truth I expected it to be a Michael Moore movie based on the title. lol. Just read the synopsis, and will try to find it someday. Thanks for the suggestion.
@Uzi - Don't be a bellend. You have to think Gestalt to read my post. You can't isolate one aspect and tell me I am wrong or foolish. First off, Obama is a better speaker, hands down. But that in itself won't win an election, so don't remove it from the rest of the post. Obama being caught off guard is a bit of a rarity in the big picture.
Al Gore was a far better speaker than Bush the Younger, for example. Gore could smoothly string a sentence together, for instance, while Bush could rarely handle three words at a time... and about 10% of those words weren't even in the dictionary. Bush took the election, though, due to several other issues and more than a few screw-ups.
@Papi - Yes. And I answered your question. That is my take the voter base. Of course, some of my statements were slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I do think they are of worth. You need to be careful, though... some of your nuances betray the integrity of the thread
@Gladier - Well said. Obama's history of well presented speeches has set a bar for comparative failure. Press will pick up on the occasional "uh," and label it as being unprepared.
I don't know much about how Sandy was handled, but it sounds like a solid point. If the comparison is Bush and Katrina... Obama could do no wrong.
