Obama Says "Uhh" 144 Times in Eleven Minutes during Press Conference




Obama Says "Uhh" 144 Times in Eleven Minutes during Press Conference

Source: Hot Air

It was a press conference CNN called Obama on “President Maliki”

HERE IS THE VIDEO

CNN VIDEO

A commenter at Hot Air blog posted the following about the video:

I watched the whole 11:09. I don’t remember a thing he said. All I heard was uh, uh, uh, uh, and uh.

He talks for 4 minutes. I counted 55 uhs.
Then he takes questions.

First answer: 10 uhs
Second answer: 27 uhs
Third answer: 16 uhs
Fourth answer: 7 uhs
Final answer: 29 uhs

144 uhs in 11 minutes. Articulate, Uh-bama!


Wild Thing's comment.......

LOL

"Uh-bama"

Transcribing his non-scripted dialogue would wear out the "u" and "h" keys on your keyboard.

Hussein has to be one of the poorest speakers that has run for president. I can't stand him.

He is definitely stuck in a mold, when no teleprompter is available and no one has written it down for him to repeat back the talking point answers.

The refugee Cubans in Florida are really upset with Nobama, about his intent to normalize relations with the Castro Brothers. Especially the family of Elian Gonzalas.

Unless it's scripted for Obama, he doesn't have a clue on how to answer. Saturday Night Live did some funny skits of this.

BTW, I'm back from vacation.

Uh, uh, uh, uh, Pinochio, what's wrong with your nose? It's hard for a puppet to wing it without the puppet master pulling the strings, or maybe that hand up there is just missing.

It is painful listening to (and watching) Barack Obama talk. He just loves to hear himself speak and when all is said and done, he says nothing. I can't wait for some town hall meetings.

Senator Obama, what does Hope mean? Uh! What about Change? Uh! And, Unity? Uh! When you sit down face to face with Ahmadinajad what is the first thing that you will say to him? Uh!

What about national security, energy, the economy, Social Security, jobs, and healthcare? UH! UH! UH! UH! UH! UH! .........

Lastly, Senator Obama, what have you ever done or accomplished that should make people want to vote for you as President? UH!

LOL!!! Uhbama should be drug tested- sounds like he is on substances that make ya go uuhhh!! I could only endure about a minute of that-! Wild Thing has substantial patience to be able to keep listening to the end!

You know what they say, uh when you uh have to uses a lot of uh breaks in uh sentences when uh speaking , it is uh a sign of disconnect between the brain and uh the mouth, or a sign of uh educational uh breakdown...Not that I know.....LOL

Darth, I find it really weird that a person that is educated as much as Obama, a lawyer and he has trouble communicating without a script.

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:12 PM


Mark thanks for the information. I sure can understand how they must feel.
Given enough time I think Obama will turn off a lot of his followers once they realize what he stands for and against.

Hi BobF welcome back, hope you had a wonderful vacation.

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:20 PM


Jack LOL "Pinochio" good one.

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:26 PM


Les, I agree it really is, it grates on my last nerve to hear him speak or anyone that has this kind of poor speaking ability. He will be known as the worst communicator and not what they tried to sell him on the public as an awesome speaker.

Cheryl, haha and he is a lawyer. Can you imagine Obama in court presenting his case. hahaha Yikes

Posted by: Wild Thing at June 22, 2008 07:30 PM


Robert, hahaha but of course.
