Barack Obama

That's a totally different debate. I think the question here is about viability.

I'd like him to run if for no other reason than that he speaks well. I think oration should be a requirement for the Presidency and I think they should write their own damn speeches. America ends up having to listen to a President quite frequently for at least four years. I want a good public speaker.

Just so it's clear, that's not my main requirement. It's not even the #1 priority. But it's in the mix.
