But that victory speech was practiced, and worked on by many people. To say otherwise is just silly.

Even low level politicians have staff writers that can churn out decent bi-lines or mediocre speeches in their sleep within minutes.

A presidential candidate certainally has a team working for them.

I'm not sure one can fairly compare the speeches of today with the speeches of yesteryear.
If it's all that easy then why don't all politicians churn out inspiring speeches like Obama does?

Charisma and the ability to inspire is one of the most important traits of a leader - its what holds some back in spite of their intelligence and pushes others ahead of the crowd.

Let's not forget this isn't the first time Obama has been credited with an incredible speech. The guy knows how to talk to people and seem genuine and inspiring.
