I understand Presiden Bush takes alot of flak on many issues, but one that comes to mind is his voice, and how he does express himself, that being said what are your thoughts on Hillary and Obama?
Hillary has a screechy, high pitched voice that sounds more than irritating, Obama seems to change his voice based upon who he is talking to..In your opinion how important is *Voice Presentation* to be President?

it shouldn't be a statutory requirement ... but a person's voice is part of how a person is perceived, and so if they have poor or irritating voice then it'll affect what people think of them.
we have to remember that an awful lot of people vote on pure personality and appearance ... good looking people make better candidates. having a screechy voice, or sounding like an idiot, will turn a lot of people off.
having said that, you don't even have to be elected to become president ... as bush jr. has proven. ... so what do i know? maybe i can become the first bug eyed purple people eater president?!

I have to disagree on Hillary being screechy. But across the board most people change they way they talk to the audience they are addressing. If you are talking to a bunch of coal miners you not going to use the same tone and language as you would with a bunch of investment bankers. The biggest part of public speaking is knowing your audience. I could say mean things about Bush's communication style but that would belittle the topic.

If voice was an issue Abraham Lincoln would not have been qualified and neither would several other Presidents. The pitch of the voice is nothing. What comes out of the mouth in terms of what is said is far more important.

Being that people form opinions on appearance, it is very important how they look, sound.
When it comes to Hillary and Obama I feel that they are unqualified to be president. Hillary has definitely been screechy at times, and they keep running it and will do it more. Obama concerns me because he has connections to a racist church and comments his wife made. I have thought that he spoke the best between he and Hillary, did hear the recording of him changing his voice.

Right off, I have to say.. even if Bush had a voice like an angel, I would not believe him. The man is a liar.. period!
As for Hilary, you are right, I think she is intelligent and I think she means well, but she does tend to come off kind of snooty.. as if she is talking down to us. It is too bad she does not have Bill's charisma.
Obama to me seems genuine.. I like how he talks, I like that he looks right at the person he is speaking to.. and well, I just like the man. Will he make a good president, i don't know.. but you know what, he cannot ever be as bad as the one we have, so i say, give him a chance. It's time.. it really is past time that we have a change.

While the grammar of Bush and his voice has been the topic of much negativity over the past 6 years, it hardly matters. It is not the shrill whining and sing song presentation of Hillary that hurts her it is what she says that causes her problems

I would certainly like to have a president who is articulate and can speak the English language and communicate well, but I hadn't thought about the actual sound of their voice. I do like Obama's voice, and I like Chuck Hagel's a lot.

i assumed there have been residency standards, too. Having a US flow back to the country on the final minute to run for President i think of does not bypass down nicely with many human beings.

not unless you are into propoganda and persuasion, if you dont care about those things, it doesnt matter what the prez voice sounds like, so long as they can speak and form sentences, unlike bush....

That part is up to the voters. Background, US citizenship, and age are all the are important.
