LOL@ the idea of Obama doing a talk show.

He's good at reading a prepared speech. But he's no orator like Ron Reagan was, or JFK.

OTOH, he's certainly a far better speaker than Gerald Ford, and he hasn't fallen down any stairs lately :)

I'd rate Obama's oratorical skills at roughly the LBJ-equivalent level. Before you object, go back and watch Johnson's Great Society speech; I'm sure it's available at YouTube.

Reagan read prepared speeches too. In fact, given his age, I'd be surprised if he said a single word unscripted. Every president reads prepared speeches.
