"hafta," "ya", "ta" - Are These Words ?

Posted on 04/21/2011 11:17:10 AM PDT by ml/nj

Today before the bottom of the second hour, Rush played a soundbite with the acting President speaking. During this soundbite, Obama used the words, hafta, ta and ya.

So I want to know:

1) Does Obama think these are English words?

2) Is he intentionally speaking down to his audience?

3) Is this the best example he can set for young skulls full of mush?

4) What?

That’s when he puts on his ‘folksy’ voice.

I don’t believe Obama had as good an education as he says he has had.

The guy is actually uneducated by even the most relaxed standards.

Why do you think he needs the teleprompter all the time and scolds interviewers who interrupt his ‘rote’ spiel.

He doesn't comprehend or actually KNOW anything, he just regurgitates things he has memorized and has been coached spew forth on demand and from memory-like a trained circus clown.

He can't even do THAT properly because his language skills are nil.

Folksy would actually be a refreshing change from the clipped, pedestrian speech pattern of the current _resident. Sarah Palin has wonderfully mastered the skills of "plain" speaking since her diction is like that of middle America.

The idiot in chief is merely using ghetto jargon and vocal stylistics to appeal to his core base of Holder's "people".

I am always startled by his “yuhs” and “tuhs.”. Where does that pronunciation come from? Maybe it’s from Kansas, where the only people who raised him are from. He didn’t pick that pronunciation up from frank Marshall Davis or the south side of Chicago, that’s for sure.

Don't expect Ms. Palin to address this question any time soon.
