"speeches are an indication of leadership and substance. "

Wasn't there a German guy in the 30s that could talk up a storm and drive folks crazy?

As I read through the post here I couldn't help but think just as you have when I got to your last line in your post. I am not saying Obama is the "Fuhrer" but the ability to unite a people based on a promise systematic change sound familiar to me as well. Hitler's reputation as an orator grew and it soon became clear that he was the main reason why people were joining the party. This gave Hitler tremendous power within the organization as they knew they could not afford to lose him.

Hitler's aim was to create an air of mystery about himself, hoping that it would encourage others to come and hear the man who was now being described as "the new Messiah".
