What he said was mild compared to what Freepers called her when she endorsed McCain.

[RobinMasters]

The buffoonery begins. How many uhhhhs did he say ?

[randita]

He apologized. Let’s move on.

(Just like we moved on after Trent Lott made that joke about Strom Thurmond.)

[purplelobster]

This sounds like something that he and Rahm probably had a good laugh about when they planned his jokes for the press conference. I don’t recall such sophmoric A-holes inhabiting the White House before. This is the sort of thing that the teens and arrested development DNC fundamentalists that watch the Jon Stewart Show would find funny - picking on an ailing widow. High Fives all around back at Rahm’s War Room! such cool guys.

[Stentor]

I don’t think he meant to be malicious.

Oh, he meant to be malicious. He just hasn't learned that he can't be a prick publicly outside of his former corrupt context.

[randita]

How many uhhhhs did he say ?

Listen to Rush on Monday. He'll have all the uhs excerpted out and their duration will run several minutes.

Honestly, I felt like I was living the fairy tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes". It was painful to watch yet none of the pundits or reporters acknowledged anything amiss. I kept thinking someone would say, "the emperor has no clothes", but no one did.

[saganite]

What an asshole.

[Catmom]

I’m kinda glad he doesn’t seem to have much of a brain.

If he DID, it would make him REALLY dangerous.

[Sacajaweau]

And since when does a President elect hold a Media Press Conference on all the major networks?? He’s detestable.

[LibFreeOrDie]

What he said was mild compared to what Freepers called her when she endorsed McCain.

He is now the President-elect, who, when speaking at a press conference, should not say negative things about a President's widow.

[Reagan69]

This man is one of the worst public speakers to come along in ages (sans the teleprompter). We’ll all be longing for the Bush speak soon.

[Ben Chad]

We’ve elected a president who is socially awkward without cue cards.

Kindly exclude me from we.

[Reagan69]

There should be a count -EVERY SPEECH- a count of the ummm, uuh,s

[Not A Snowbird]

That would be the royal “we”.

[randita]

Some radio station did count the uhs/ums. The total was posted in the thread about the Press Conference. I don’t recall what it was.

[wolficatZ]

In the 36 second clip at the link he said “UH..” about (I only watched once and counted) EIGHT times.

[nomorelurker]

Oh he meant to be malicious alright. He will spend the next 4 years trying to convert the word “Bush” into something Satanic (either the first or second). Reagan he will go after by means of an 87 year old widow.

Maybe they inwardly wondering just what the hell they created

I'm not exactly sure to what you are referring. Care to elaborate?
