Sadly he's had too much practice but this is quite well done.

(13,421 posts)Obama is a gifted speaker--call it practice if you wish, but that really is a gift he's got. His humanity and compassion ring true in every word, and his ability to give the listener what they need to hear at the right time is WAY more than training.
I just want to live in a nation where we don't need consolation or comfort anymore, and I think most of us are more than ready for it to happen.

(13,421 posts)That blew me away completely. I got it turned on a bit late, but I saw at least two standing O's during Obama's speech. Amazing.
