I would not characterize Bush senior as a spectacular public speaker. He agreed with the joke that english was his second language.
and speaking from years of personal conversations and experience... the troops were much more nervous with the well-spoken Clinton at the helm than they are with the current President.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
~ Winston Churchill
