He's a *horrible* speaker and if he wasn't so disingenuous, I'd almost feel sorry for him.

I expected to hear violins in the background when he started with his parents and his poor stories. Yeah, he's a man of the people, just an ordinary guy.

He looks like he needs a drink of water, too. He's licking his lips. He's presidential.

VERY awkward. He also uses his hands way too much while speaking. Distracts from what he is saying.

Yep, the water grab will be the most memorable moment. I think Bobby Jindal's felling pretty good right now.

When he rushed to that water he looked very rushed. He needed to give an illusion of calmness at the least. Can you imagine him in a debate after this?

Not as bad as Jindal, maybe, but he's not going to be the candidate, I don't think. Even if he does know who Tupac is.

"A little bout of nerves." If he were a college student, yes. But he's a senator who is touted as presidential material. Yikes.

At one point I was wondering if Marco Rubio's speech was worse than Bobby Jindal's speech? He (Rubio) was constantly wiping at his face and he stumbled on a number of occasions. It did not help that he did not seem to be responding to the speech President Obama actually gave.
