Like people saying they wished Obama was "more articulate" 15 years ago. It's nothing but racist sog whistles

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.

Obama was the most articulate president we've had in 50+ years. Chris Rock even did a comedy bit criticizing people who commented "he speaks so well" about Obama.

Edit: whoops! Chris Rock's bit was about Colin Powell. Pretty much the same point though.
