‘Uhhh,’ the president’s ‘uhhh’ press conference was ‘uhhh’ terrible
Washington Post ^ | 6-8-12 | Ed Rogers

If you are president of the United States and you don’t have anything to say, don’t have a press conference to say it. If you’re the president of the United States and by Thursday it’s widely believed you’ve had one of the worst weeks of your presidency, take Friday off, and specifically avoid having a press conference.

Anytime you are president and you’re speaking in public at an ill-timed press conference after a bad week, try to have something to say, and do a good job in saying it. I watched the whole thing, but it’s not easy to think of one useful thing that he had to say. And what he said, he said very poorly.

It’s looking like the Baraq Hussein Obama Presidential Library and Choom Gang Museum may be built in 2013 instead of 2017.

I am surprised they are prepping the garden this late in the season.

They have no choice.

“Saying “uhhh” suggests uncertainty and is distracting.”

No, it means YOU LIE!

People just mindlessly repeat what they hear regardless of “Uhhh...Ahhh.Uhhh...” No one wants to declare the emporer is naked. It would cause their friends to dis-invite them from social functions.

People are sheep.

I love it.
The media is “just noticing” that he is not a great speaker afterall.
Hmmm....seems like half the country has been saying that since 2008....but that was the “racist” half - so they said.

He has been disoriented since his Choom Gang days - he is not the one who has changed one iota.

In 2008 saying uhhhhhh ahhhhhh uhhhhhh meant that you were nuanced, thoughful and contemplative. Doesn’t anyone remember Team of Rivals? The Man from Springfield? The One we’ve been Waiting For?

Wha happen?

0bama is a stoner. has been since he was a kid. no news there

normally, you can gauge how ‘smaht’ someone is by the number of ‘ummms’ they roll out as they speak

of course, president supah smaht is above reproach
