There is one "you know" that we all know. When the hussein obama's (who have been terrified of appearing on Fox News) "you know" and they know, they are in big trouble in the eyes of the American people.

Up to this time they would only appear on the slobbering liberal lame stream news.

It's just as annoying, you know, as when someone spells "sentance."

She and the president both suffer from terrible public speaking crutches and habits. I can give her a break, because she really has not been a public speaker all her adult life. I know its really annoying, and her people should be working with her to break her habit, you know.

The president on the other hand, has been a public speaker most of his adult life, either as a community organizer, a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School, a state senator, and now as the president.

The fact that none of his advisers or public speaking coaches have been unable to break his terrible habit of "umms", "ahhs" and "tuhs" makes it clear that 0bama is egotistical, undisciplined and a narcissist, that he will not except criticism or advice even in something that he does for a living; public speaking.

This must be unprecedented, you betcha'.

What I want to know is how did her garden turn out? I mean all the sweaty labor over veggies n' all?

I sweated too, but I am still eattin' my labor, and not sweatin' anymore, but I will be soon since it takes me 1/2 cord of white pine to fire my sugarin' rig, and make maple suga', as 1 gallon.

I wouldn't give 2 cents for the both of them you know? (Not even the copper clad zinc cents, which are best used as sacrifical metals on cars and boats to prevent electrolysis) Ahya'

It really becomes a bad habit, and it is because the speaker cannot articulate their thougts. So, they throw in "you know" in hopes that the listener really does "know" what they are talking about.

This is unlike people who say "ummm" a lot, who really are just pausing ("ummm" is a place holder) while they formulate the next thought. It too is a bad habit; but many otherwise good speakers do it. I think in a lot of cases it is to keep from being interupted before they finish thier thought!
