Now do you have your answer? You respond to what some people say and then they say that wasn't what they meant if they don't like your answer.
Tee hee

And in neither one does he stammer or hesitate any more than the regular joe.

Im sorry i just woke up. i was listening to one of McCain's speeches.He does that 2 me sometimes.

Your right Obama he stutters. I guess he shouldn't be president because of it.
Even though his speaches are the most listen to and well realy good speaches, the entire stutter thing puts him behind McCain, right?

I'm going 2 take a nap so let me go put on my McCain addresses the nation on tape.

I think you have some kind of creepy obsession with the man. Really goes beyond a simple choice in voting....

You and Fun2Day should start a club.

"In the last eight years the Middle East has changed dramatically under Mr. Bush. There are many things to attend to."

The official added, "There are so many things at stake. This is why we don't want this window of opportunity to be missed."

I agree Obama looks great now but the election can go either way . I think Obama as of today is ahead in the polls but not much if you look at each state .
The debates in this election more so than any will count . Unless ofcourse something new and horrible comes out about a candidate that sticks and that should start come Sept/Oct.
Scare tactics work well .

Since few posters themselves are skilled or trained in public speaking I provide some links to help the independent reader evaluate the veracity of the posts.

Have You Mastered These 10 Public Speaking Skills?
Pausing

Pausing can be for emphasis or for effect. It is a speaker skill that is often underused. Pause mid sentence to emphasize a particular word or part of the thought. Pause before making a bold statement or to emphasize the statement. Pause no less than one second and not much longer than three. This is one of the more difficult of the speaker skills to master and be natural.

Impromptu Speaking or Extemporaneous Speaking - presentation skills
Maintain eye contact with the audience - This is easier to do if you do not write down all kinds of stuff to read. Look down at your next idea or thought and maintain eye contact with your audience and speak from your heart. Focus on communicating TO your audience and not speaking AT the crowd.

Now you the independent reader can viewer the provided video and form your own conclusion about the legitimacy of the posts by all of us in this thread.

Good reading and good thinking.

Yup they got us Bush in 2000 and 2004 and I guess McCain has decided if you can't beat them join them. Thus Rove and the Beastie Bloggers.
