He has a sound point, that its more cost effective to be preemptive with health care, you didn't include the whole context but I still got the gist of the point he was making which is a correct point. Yes he jumbled his words in getting that thought out but that is a rarity. Also, at town hall meetings and in interviews he never has a TelePrompTer so the "obama lost without a TelePrompTer title" is just silly.
Misspeaking happens to the best of us. Bill Clinton, one of the best public speakers of the last few decades, occasionally went off into tangents and spoke too long without enough clarity early in his campaign as well. There is a PROFOUND difference though between stumbling on your words regarding a correct thought and not understanding basic tenants of foreign policy. Obama had trouble expressing his idea in this context, but not because he did not understand what health insurance is.
If you can find a tape of Obama misunderstanding important ideas vital to national security that is something else entirely. It is not speaking poorly that is at issue here, it is her dangerous lack of understanding. Like Bush she is an incurious zealot, she has the will to make decisions but not the wisdom to make correct decisions. Nothing is more dangerous then a headstrong fool in a position of power.
It was quite clear listening to Sarah Palin that as soon as she was off the topics she had been coached on by her aides, most of which were veterans of Bush's 2000 and 2004 campaign, she had no idea what she was talking about. Her breadth of knowledge is non existent. If you listen to Obama answer questions off the cuff it is quite clear he has a strong understanding of a huge range of issues even when he has a hard time, on occasion, distilling those thoughts into short sound bites.
