Communication - Presidents

It is very interesting to note the communication styles of president's and how it influences the people and the media. It seems that the communication skills of presidents have a huge impact on what people think of them and their politics. It seems that if a president lacks in the ability to consverse eloquently, he is seen as incompetent and does not bode well. However, regardless of the results of his actions, if one can communicate well, then it does not matter and their public rating is high.

President Reagan, was great at communicating with the American people. He made sure to speak to the country as a leader. He explained what he was doing and he explained the policies and conservatism for the country as a leader should.

President Clinton , was great at communicating as well. He was able to "lie" perfectly to the American people also. He was so great at it. He was loved by democrats all over because of his ability to communicate well.

President Bush, was not conservative at all (as far as his administration went). He had poor communication skills, but if you know the man, he was a very decent and respectful man. He always had great intentions. He failed to communicate not only what he was doing, but failed to communicate a lot of key things which lead to his detriment and the people feel so much less of him. However, I think if he had better communication skills that people would have more respect for him.

President Obama, has great communication skills. They are forced though, he seems to require a teleprompter all the time. He had to get 2 teleprompters so now he can move his head from left to right as he switches from one to the other. He has made several mistakes though, as he reads from the teleprompter incorrectly. He has at times, read the other person's lines. He introduced himself (someone else was supposed to do that), called people by the wrong names, etc. It is a little funny. Even Joe Biden at one military engagement, made a joke about the teleprompter one time, it fell over, he said "Oh know, what will Obama do?". But truth be told, he has a great communication style; This communication style in his case seems to matter more, people listen to what he says but don't actually care because he sounds so professional and responsible, they don't care to take the time to actually look at what he is doing and find out if his results and the things he does match up to his statements, his promises and other comments he makes.

What we need is a conservative President who can articulate what it means to be a Conservative. We need people in Congress and the Senate who can articulate what it means to be a Conservative. We need people to express the truth about our history and what makes our country great. Unfortunately, the people in this country do not look at results, they only give someone credibility if they can speak well. Further than that, a President can hide the real truth about his agenda, what he is doing if he demeans the people in communicating clearly a false reality of what he is doing. Imagine the power if we had people in Washington with integrity, no corruption, speaking eloquently !
