So he might not be an idiot; perhaps he is just a really horrible speaker. However, I would expect someone in such a position to have ability in all sorts of areas, public speaking being as important as it can be when seeking credibility. Can people be bad speakers and still be intelligent? Of course! Would I expect that and not judge that in, say, a coworker? Sure! Do I expect the President of my country to be better than the average smart joe? You bet I do!

Then again, it might just be that he is an idiot!
