Obama was neither "stupid" or "incoherent" in the above video.

He was fully aware of what happened, and he stated so by saying he "jumped the gun", and he then moved on with his speech.

He handled the situation in a rational and intelligent manner.

I am referring to a "period of time" for Obama. Being "President" as opposed to being "Senator".

Most "intelligent" people would have understood this.

I'm attempting humor, even those less intelligent individuals would also have understood that..

Your histerical, bring up 8-10 years of Bush gaffes, and then proclaim that Obama hasnt had any because you want to exclude all of those other ones as not "presidential", lets make sure to limit those to audio, because those videos of Obama walking into a helicopter or trying to open up a window, to walk through thinking it was a door, or giving thoughtless gifts that the end user couldnt even use, dont count.

Its like saying anything posted on cd by liberals on Sunday at 6:37PM EST is the truth, anything before or after that is a lie.... Now I'll wait for your response and I'll check out the time you posted it to figure out if its accurate.

Obama is Larry, Curly and Moe in one body.


He and his Reverend Wright attitude ( apologizing to dictators ) is disgusting.


The left wing love affair with Barack is like a sixteen year old Donny Osmond crush. At the same time Barack spends their grandchildren's money on pig farm odor research.

Snap out of it. You are being railroaded. The hypnotized are under the impression that Barack is going to make their lives better. If you believe that you are nuts, and I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

Enough of this nice guy crap .... you need to be told.

No ... I SPECIFICALLY am trying to have you show me a video of Obama of sounding either stupid or incoherent when he was NOT TIRED from constantly campaigning.

That is why I want it to be from ... AFTER ... he was elected.

How many times do I need to re-state this ???

Regarding your humor ... stick to your day job.

YouTube - Obama Answers Questions on Blagojevich | Rahm Emanuel
ooh and this one

YouTube - Obama explains selecting Rick Warren for inauguration
um,,, ahhh, I have umm...

Jees, these were the first two I looked at...
First ... THANK YOU ... for at least making an attempt.

I sincerely mean that.

Your above videos however, do not show either "stupidy" or "incoherence" from Obama.

Obama has a tendency to say "uh" during pauses when he is talking slowly, and likely thinking about how to phrase his next few words.

He tries to choose his words carefully when he speaks.

The use of "uh" and "um" during pauses is very common among bright people when they speak. So I do not consider that to be a problem in Obama's speaking.

As for his "stuttering" ... he is essentially doing the same thing with repeating words during a pause, as he does with "uh" and "um".

He just occasionally repeats a word a few times until he can think of how to phrase his next few words. Once again, this is a common way for bright people to speak.

He is being very careful about how he phrases his comments, and that is a sign of intelligence.

Yes, for some people, use of the word "um" can make them sound stupid.

It can indicate that the person is unable to think of the next thing to say.

That would be true if the person was stupid to begin with, and the person just continued to hang on repeating the word "um" without saying anything beyond it.

However, Obama is CLEARLY not stupid, and anyone with intelligence would easily recognize that.

People do not graduate Harvard Law School as Magna C-u-m-Laude, if they are stupid. It is ridiculous to even consider.

Anyone who listens to Obama just for a few minutes can easily see he is a very intelligent man.

Obama's use of the word "um" is nothing more than a method of pausing while he thinks of how to phrase his next few words.
