Listen to Eisenhower, JFK, even Reagan. Are we children?
Obama seems like this great orator because he was just… okay. Like he could speak and sound like a coherent adult. That should be the bar.

Learn from him in what way? He communicated articulately in grammatically correct, full sentences in the past. Now he rambles nearly incoherently.
