I do thank you for commenting and posing your question. Please also understand how difficult it can be to explain how charged the word "articulate" is when it is directed at a black person.
The issue is that Obama is charismatic, on point, and is a centrist in his political views. It is those features that draw people to him. Not the fact that he knows how to string words together successfully in a sentence (which is the true meaning of articulate). You aren't listening to him because of his ability to put words together clearly. You are listening to him because of the message that he conveys well because he is an excellent public speaker
