When Obama is not reading somebody else's word off of a Tele-Prompter, he's not exactly Daniel Webster. Don't get too complacent. That break in his talking was when he had a mentally challenged guy shouting at him from the second row...
Note just after the camera flash at about 8 seconds, you can see a guy in the second row shouting (just to the right of the flashing camera, to the left of Obama). Obama then addresses the guy's shouting, which continues to interrupt him: "Hold on, I can't hear myself ... I'm glad you're fired up, though..." (And you can see the guy waving his arms up and down after the camera comes back to him...and all the people looking over at the disturbance.)

Thanks for the clarification on that particular video. The shouter was not audible and it was therefore a bad example.
I will submit this one as a better example.
Today, ABC News' Sunlen Miller caught Obama away from his remote controller teleprompter, and asked him how he could "rail against Countrywide Financial Corp. as an example of insiders and today's economy while your VP search is headed by someone who got questionable loans from Countrywide?" Obama didn't know how to respond: "Well, look," Obama said, "the, the, I mean - first of all I am not vetting my VP search committee for their mortgages, so you’re gong to have to direct -- " ..... "But shouldn’t you?" asked Miller. ..... "Well, no," Obama said. "It becomes sort of a, um, I mean, this is a game that can be played - everybody, you know, who is tangentially related to our campaign, I think, is going to have a whole host of relationships -- I would have to hire the vetter to vet the vetters. I mean, at some point, you know, we just asked people to do their assignments.
