Obama Says "Uhh" 144 Times in Eleven Minutes during Press Conference
Barack Obama, the golden-tongued orator, is a totally different person when he cannot read a speech someone wrote for him from a teleprompter. Hot Air.com posted a link to a CNN video of Obama making a statement and answering questions. A sharp Hot Air.com commenter posted the following about the video:
I watched the whole 11:09. I don’t remember a thing he said. All I heard was uh, uh, uh, uh, and uh.
He talks for 4 minutes. I counted 55 uhs. Then he takes questions.
First answer: 10 uhs Second answer: 27 uhs Third answer: 16 uhs Fourth answer: 7 uhs Final answer: 29 uhs
144 uhs in 11 minutes. Articulate, Uh-bama!
Follow the link and you will see it is absolutely painful to listen to. The truth is, Obama is a total lightweight that is an empty suit. He does great in the stadium pep rally speech setting, but get him away from that where he must think on his feet, and the Obamamessiah just disappears. If John McCain said "uhh" 144 times in 11 minutes, the press corps would be saying he has Alzheimer's disease. But with Obama, nary a word about it. In time, Obama the lighweight, is going to reveal himself for all the world to see. We just have to hope it is BEFORE November 4 so the American people will not make a truly terrible mistake.
P.S. Obama referred to "President Maliki" of Iraq, when he is the "Prime Minister" of Iraq (5:40 mark of the video). Again, if John McCain did that it would be a week of stories about his "age."
Uh ... I uh don’t uh know uh how uh to uh respond uh to uh this uh post ... uh.
Sock puppet.
His handlers cannot keep him in check.
If at all possible, I would cut up the video eliminating everything but the uh’s...
and then put up a counter, counting each uh...
and put it up on youtube...
maybe then ‘the masses’ will notice :)
Transcribing his non-scripted dialogue would wear out the "u" and "h" keys on your keyboard.
When he gets fed his lines through his headset, it’s hard to keep up. “Uh,” gives his handlers time to repeat what he missed.
I thought Hillary and her saying “You Know” a lot was bad but this guy is much worse. He is not saying anything he is thinking, he is parroting.
The sad part about this and all the other material we have on this guy, is that his supporters don’t care. He is OBAMESSIAH to them.
The only thing that might sink him would be if someone has a video tape of him in bed with a dead girl or a live boy.
He is worried they might let Larry Sinclair out of jail
uh-sama is pathetic, just like the morons that support him
Nice pic
She looks like Chewbacca of Starwars....Chewbaraka
That's...uhhh...gross.
That’s even more branin cramp “uh’s” than Hilarious uses with her brain cramp “you know’s.”
Hmmmm, Chuhnge we cuhn buhlieve in?
