They are not judged on that alone. In addition to prepared speeches (which they do inform, even if a speechwriter does write the final words) they also have to respond in press conferences and interviews. In these you can see how the person handles issues in real time without any outside help. Obama in particular has always exhibited a brilliant and thoughtful mind in interviews, so you know he is not just some actor reading from a script in his speeches.

I totally agree, and this non-American is going to miss him for that:)
And he has a keen, dry sense of humour to go with it.

I know how much he seems to be disliked on CAF but he has been a well-respected president outside of the US, by and large.

Direct quote from that article:

While it might “smell” funny, the fact that Elias gave “advice” to the DNC is not illegal, according to the Campaign Legal Center.

“This email exchange pertains to a perfectly legal joint fundraising committee that includes the Clinton campaign, the DNC and a bunch of state Democratic Party committees. The coordination laws/rules don’t restrict this type of interaction,” Paul Ryan, the Campaign Legal Center’s deputy executive director told LawNewz.com.

owever, attorneys for Bernie Sanders supporters contend that the federal court rules bar Perkins Coie lawyers from representing the DNC as defense counsel in the case. They say that the Perkins Coie attorneys may become “potential material witnesses” or “defendants” in the case and should be disqualified. They plan to file an official motion in court.

Also a direct quote from the article. I posted the entire article; didn’t cherry pick quotes.

rigging the election process to assure Hillary Clinton’s nomination was not illegal. Mocking Hissanics, blacks and Jews was not illegal either but does shine a bright light on the supposedly "inclusive " party

And funny, no one wants to talk about the content of the emails.

You apparently have missed obama turning into a stuttering mess trying to bash trump on multiple occasions lately. Here is one sample:

I couldn’t believe Bill talking about when they first met and blah blah blah. Why didn’t he go into the first time he was unfaithful to her and all the girlfriends he had? This is all so pathetic.

Would you have the same reaction to a Catholic couple who stayed together after numerous infidelities? Shouldn’t we be supportive of a marriage that survived unfaithfulness?

Most of us would likely pray for their marriage, and hope they had the dignity to not be our President and lead us or pontificate to us. Note that is on Bill, not Hill. Most folks have enough shame to disappear, but the Clintons are a unique combination of greed, pride, lust, and deceit.

I can’t blame Bill’s gross and utter sense of immorality on her, though she has her own with slightly different twists that she is responsible for.

The title of the article does the cherry picking for you. And most people only read the title and do not follow the link and read the entire article. Mission accomplished.
