I'd say he's only OK. To me, a great orator makes his/her point to the audience immediately, directly, and on both an emotional and intellectual level. You leave inspired with a sense of direction and purpose. Perhaps it also depends on the occasion, too.
I feel this with Obama, but the other thing I get from Obama which is new to me is the feeling that he's thought about what he's saying. Contrast this to Hillary. Whenever I hear her speak (watch the latest debate, for example), I feel like she's just spitting out the lines her team has had her memorize. Obama sounds like he's considered the question carefully and is giving as thoughtful and honest an answer as possible.
But again, I'm a partisan here.
