2. Depends on how one defines "better"; plus, their speaking is entirely different genres.

Barack does political speeches. Wright does sermons.

It's kind of like asking who's a better violinist: Roy Clark or Isaac Stern?

3. Personally, I'd rather listen to Wright as his speeches aren't confined by politcal constraints.

And as such are open to a wider variety of topics and ideas that never get talked about in politics.

4. "Better" depends on context...Wright is more fun to listen to.

As said above, he's not bound by political constraints, so his sermons are more interesting.

...and I'm a upper-middle-class white male atheist...
