He's talked that way all of his life Lou. 'smooth'
Since he was a kid so it's not just since he's been running for anything.

That's why people thought he was 'special from the beginning'.
And it's no wonder. His mother woke him up at 4am every AM to teach him English and about America, etc. for a few hours before he went to school while they lived in Indonesia, I believe it was.

He is a product of his mother and she did a damn good job imo.
