Who’s a Great Public Speaker? Barack Obama, that’s Who!
By Doug Weller
Whenever anyone asks me “Who is a great public speaker?”, I always give the same response…Barack Obama. 
Obama is amazing; his public speaking and media skills blow me away.
His presentations are brilliant. Always articulate, always engaging and always to the point.
Barack Obama speaking about Donald Trump’s presidential ambitions demonstrates his skills.
His answers about Trump were short and sharp, clear and to the point. His language was easily understood. He paused in between messages allowing the audience to process what he said. Instead of speaking too fast, he allowed his messages to resonate.
A lot of people make basic mistakes when delivering presentations.
They rush through it talking too fast, but not Obama.
They deliver jargon and acronyms that hardly anyone can understand… but again, not Obama.
Barack Obama masterfully delivers clear, understandable messages.
Sometimes, the President will speak ‘off the cuff’ but other times he reads from a teleprompter/autocue, as he did in his Selma Bridge Speech.
No matter whether he is ad libbing or using a prompt, he always looks and sounds credible, genuine and understandable.
A really good way to learn a skill is to study others doing it well. Watch the clips included in the links above, and any other Obama speeches you can find.
Speakers like Barack Obama don’t come along every day – he’s brilliant.
