“This problem, which I inherited from the previous administration, will not have easy solutions, nor will we look for easy solutions that will further destabilize the region from that which was done previously.

Working together with the members of the G8, the UN, the EU, the EIEIO, the AFLCIO, MSNBC, and other international organizations I propose further reflection and an introduction of symbolic gestures against somebody.

Until my television told me, as it told you all, I was unaware of the sectarian strife present that could erupt in a the event of a premature withdrawal of troops. After thanking my television for the information, I ordered people in my administration and in the media to immediately cease using the word ‘withdrawal’ and refer to my prior actions as an ‘uninvasion’. You can read an editorial supporting my stance on this on the front page of the New York Times.

It goes without saying, this violence is in no way connected to our successful uninvasion and lies with those people who sought to divide us in the previous administration. Let’s not forget, they are rich. Now that that’s solved, I command the media to talk about something else, and will not take questions at this time.”

Obama Has Touted Al Qaeda’s Demise 32 Times since Benghazi Attack

(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama has described al Qaeda as having been “decimated,” “on the path to defeat” or some other variation at least 32 times since the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, according to White House transcripts.

This comes despite Libyan President Mohamed Yousef El-Magarief, members of Congress, an administration spokesperson, and several press reports suggesting that al Qaeda played a role in the attack.

Recently, on Nov. 1 in Green Bay, Wis., Obama said, “Thanks to sacrifice and service of our brave men and women in uniform, the war in Iraq is over, the war in Afghanistan is winding down, al Qaeda has been decimated, Osama bin Laden is dead.”

O: My fellow Americans. This Iraqi thing — ISIS or whatever — is eating into my valuable time to handle important issues, like getting the Washington [*bleeped*] to change their name. And while they are at it, the NFL needs to come up with some other identification for their game because ‘football’ is ‘soccer’. That stuff the NFL plays is not ‘football’. Thank you.

We are going to launch an attack, being careful to use our Green friendly military gear so as not to harm Iraqs fragile ecosystem.

“Or “uh”. He does that to distraction, and I’ve read that is a mark of lying (big shock). Hillary does that a lot too.”

It’s a neurolinguistic programming method that creates a gap where the listeners fill in what they anticipate the speaker will say, based on their own biases and personal interests. Everybody comes away thinking POTUS agrees with them.

It’s also a bad habit that pseudo-intellectuals use to sound more intelligent, as if they’re pausing to “gather their thoughts”. Jeff Goldblum does it a lot whenever he plays a scientist or intellectual. But you’ll never catch somebody like Chris Christie doing it, whether you like him or not, in public speaking his comments are always well-organized and he never has to pause for reflection.

Personally I also suspect the “uhhh” is used intentionally as a soothing tone like “ommm” which is meant to have a hypnotic effect on listeners.
