Besides you and your mom who else knows him as that?
He and Himself. Michelle. Probably Valerie Jarrett. I'd guess about the 10-15%of the population who are Obama acolytes. It's pretty much his term, you know.
So far we got just you and your mom.
has big ears that nevertheless are incapable of hearing or processing anything said outside of his own utterances
Just which occupant of 1600 pensylvania ave was different?
While most Presidents have some narcissistic traits, Obama is a pathological narcissist, as evidenced by his inability to accept disagreement without getting incrediblity irritated and angry; his pathological use of the first person pronoun, his desire to insert himself into every conversation or speech, etc. It would be hard to find one who compared.
It is good that you acknowledge your ignorance but it would mot be a difficult search to find those who surpassed him in arrogance. Washington and jefferson come to mind quickily as do jackson and both rossevelts. Polk and tyler are in a class by themselves one moves a hooker into the white house while his wife is dying then marries a teenager after her father died in a "tragic"  explosion from which tyler was conspicuously absent the other starts a war that nearly doubles the size of the u.s.
LBJ may have been an arrogant, SOB and prick, but he did listen to you before punching you in the mouth.
When exactly did lbj ever have the balls to use his fists on anyone besides his wife?
Obama is sui generis.
and is fairly articulate when reading speeches written by others.
Which resident of 1600 pensylvania avenue has ever written his own speeches?
Reagan wrote a number of them.
I think you are mistaken so I will ask for some sort of validation.
In the days before speechwriters, almost all Presidents did.
I had asked you to tell me which presidents did not use speach writers...Monroe had j.q. adams to write many of his speeches and all of the ones concerning the monroe doctrine. This is not a new phenomenea. For you to ascribe it to this big eared looser is historically incorrect.
I leave it to historians to indicate when that trend changed,
I am and I just did. It was not a trend. It was and is common practice. Buchannan never uttered a word that was not scripted for him except to his boy friend.
but certainly from the Republic's founding through most of the 1800's and probably the early 20th century.
The word "probably" indicates that you have no clue aboout that which you speak.
The other has smaller ears that actually listen to people
Who besides carl rove?
Rove is a blowhard who is often wrong. It's not worth my time to defend him.
and is fairly articulate when speaking off the cuff.
So the only one he listened to was in your opion a moron. Wouldn't it stand to reason that if the only advice you listened to came from a moron that you would be a moron?
"is our children learning"
Incoherent speech is worse than ungrammatical speech and I'm a grammar Nazi.
They both spend too much though, by a lot.
Perhaps that is because there is no difference between them. We are still in the sand box and we are still in gitmo. Same shit different flies.
The fundamental difference is ideology. Bush loved America. I think Carter once did, including when he was President. Obama is anti-Western, anti-American. So he's much worse.
Besides you and your mom who else believes that he is anti amerikan? What precisely has he done besides being a member of the possie you ain't

Very interesting site. Among the quotes:
Starting with George Washington and his farewell address, many presidents have sought others' advice on speeches and other public communications. Judson Welliver, "literary clerk" during the Harding administration, from 1921 to 1923, is generally considered the first presidential speechwriter in the modern sense - someone whose job description includes helping to compose speeches. Emmet J. Hughes, who wrote speeches for President Dwight D. Eisenhower during the first year of his first term (and again briefly in the 1956 campaign and into the Ike's second term) was the first staffer to officially be called "speechwriter."
Each president brings different gifts to public communications. JFK had a strong sense of style and a flair for improvisation. Richard Nixon spent more time than any other president writing his own speeches. Ronald Reagan jotted long sections of major speeches himself, especially early in his first term. Bill Clinton could extemporize and interpolate seamlessly, moving back and forth between his prepared text and his ad-libbed remarks. President George W. Bush has a strong sense of order and structure. One thing that most presidents have in common is a strong ability as an editor, both in terms of clarifying and streamlining prose but also in terms of translating it into language that is more natural to them.
