But a person should be elected on their beliefs/thoughts/plans, not on how well they speak in public. Many fine leaders have been very poor orators. Like 250 said, not everyone is comfortable or can speak well in front of an audience. I am one of these people. I have been giving speeches and presentations for University and work for 10 years and I still say umm and err, and lose my place, and a variety of other things. I have tried to improve this by taking speech classes, reading books, practising with friends, but they do not work. I have to finally admit, I will not be a great orator but that will not stop me from succeeding in any aspect of my life!
