He can be erudite, OR down to earth, or worldly, and varies it depending on whom he was speaking to.
The last Democrat who could really pull off being both down to earth and genuinely intelligent was Bill Clinton. You should have seen enough by now to know that Obama's communication skills and command of language have been painted as any of the following:
- "Just Words" - Teleprompter! - The sinister verbal trickery of a Kenyan Muslim Socialist who wants to establish Sharia law and/or a One World Government - Uppityness
I'm sure if I hung out in the farthest corners of right wing America I'd hear a few more.
