In my opinion, this was his major weakness. Have you seen his films? :) But a lot of skills that he learned as an actor, definetly helped him as President. The "Tear Down This Wall" speech would never have come off as well if he didn't have those skill sets.

Something that I didn't realize until all the memory footage over the last few days is his sense of humor. This guy was funny.

His greatest weakness as President I think, was delegating out too much authority. I think on the whole he was a good (albeit naive) guy, who surrounded himself with some not-so-good people. The fact that he kept such extensive (handwritten) notes and correspondence is very cool also.

I disagree with a lot of what he did. He had presence and I don't think anyone could doubt his conviction.
