We need a way to track Obama's "Uh's"
The dark, deep recesses of my mind. ^ | 9/14/08 | TheShaz

Posted on 09/14/2008 11:23:02 AM PDT by TheShaz

One topic that has come up is Obama’s struggles with speaking without the benefit of a teleprompter. His last big interview I watched was the one with Stephanopoulos where he had to correct Barry on the “My Muslim gaffe”. The rest of the interview was “Uh…..Uh…..Uh….Uh…..” If I recall, even Letterman did a bit called the “UH” Meter. Somebody better equipped than I should get video clips from now thru the debates and do our own “UH METER COUNTS” and get them to the blogs like Free Republic and others. We need to shed a light on the real Barack Hussein Obama.

Just a thought…..

I think Rush does a good job of this with his “uh umm err uh” montage. If you tried to do this with video the images would be too choppy. This one is best done with just audio, IMO.

It’s more then just uh’s. You’d have to count all the umm err ah’s too.

A local radio personality in Boston, Howie Carr, dubbed Senator Kennedy "The Wizard of Uhs". I don't think he'd mind if we applied it to Senator Obama.

Dittos to what you just said. Point of Information: Howie Carr started his “Wizard of Uhs” segments back when Joe Kennedy, who also has the “uh” habit, was a House Representative in the Eighth Congressional District of Massachusetts, and Howie continues his segments now with Senator Ted Kennedy, after Joe Kennedy left his House seat. The Kennedy family is full of people with the “uh” habit.

It is ironic they were so brutal to Bush for his ability to communicate and then nominated Captain Uh.

The uh’s don’t bother me half as much as his long winded convoluted answers.

Sure, if you want to drain a fifth and be on the floor in about 5 minutes.

It’s the new Obama drinking game. Sip of beer every time he says ‘Uh’.

Just make sure the fridge or cooler is well-stocked.

And how about the “you you you you you you” thing he often does?

During Obama’s infamous “lipstick on a pig” talk, Obama took us up and down a wild ride, a virtual roller coaster of “you you you you you” before he arrived at comparing McCain to a fish.

Howie Carr ... I love that fat bastard.

I love it when he does the Wizzard of Uh contest. He definitely needs to include Osama in this contest.

Mumbles is good too. ;-)
