Obama remarked recently that he plans to be president for 8-10 years.
Why is it that the media talks about him being such a "great communicator"? This isn't the first serious gaffe he's had. For instance, when he mentioned that he had campaigned in all 56 states except Hawaii and Alaska.
It grates even to listen to him. Granted, I don't agree with any of his ideas. But I think that it's the unpolished delivery. I've listened to people that I don't agree with one bit but nonetheless had a smooth, polished delivery.
