Bush is not a good speaker. He made a lot of blunders, which apparently his family was accustomed to hearing and had been a family joke before his Presidency.
Obama is an eloquent speaker, however, his speech writers do not research thoroughly enough. 57 states is another I recall. More disturbing is staged performances like that with Henrietta Hughes who turned out to be a property owner not a homeless person.
What is dumb and ignorant is blind acceptance of fine rhetoric without delving for the substance, or lack of substance of the words spoken.
