I agree with MTU. That raised chin thing is an annoying habit. Even so, that guy is a kick a** public speaker. Last night's speech wasn't one of his best in terms of delivery. It was good, but probably not up to his usual high standard.

When I first started listening to Obama, I didn't particularly like his speaking style. Affectations like the raised chin put me off, but he quickly grew on me. I thought by now I would start to tire of his style, but I really don't see that happening. Time will tell whether I'm right, but I think he has an honesty and substance that many of predecessors lacked. It's not a schtick, so it doesn't get old. IMHO.
