    Mostly people called Obama very articulate. That wasn’t so much a dogwhistle as the bigotry of lowered expectations.

      But he was/is very articulate?

      Don’t forget his presidency came off the back of W. We were all sick of hearing gibberish from the president of the united states. Everyone was happy to have an articulate man in charge

        And honestly, he is incredibly good at giving speeches. I wish he was half as good as president as he was at inspiring people with his speeches.

        And then 8 years later they elected someone who made Bushisms seem like linguistic mastery.
