All About McCain - Page 8

Ha! Have to laugh at that. Bush hesitating or stumbling over words is seen as stupidity. Obama stammering with "uhh..." "errr...." "ummmm..." over and over is seen as gathering an unpackaged response. That's hysterical.

I haven't seen Bush stumble over words much, or be hesitant or stammer, like Obama. The ridicule of Bush comes when he says wrong words, not when he pauses in saying them. Seeing someone who takes time to say something correctly as a refreshing change seems reasonable to me.

Never mind.....I misread your post, Tom, so I edited out my response.

My favorite headline of the day:

"Democrats Jump on McCain's Houses"

Ummm...you're not seriously comparing Bush's speaking abilities with Obama's...are you?

No, but I am saying that Obama, when not on a teleprompter, says "err", "uhhh", and "ummm" with amazing frequency. All I was doing was laughing that when Bush does similar things, he's called stupid. When Obama does it, he's searching for an unpackaged answer.

It's not the "ummms" and "uhhhs"... It's what comes out after them. When it's Obama, what comes out is intelligent.

And Bush also does them a lot in prepared statements as well.

That is true. I'm not comparing oratory skills....not in the least, as that would be ridiculous. I'm just comparing the analysis of certain aspects of their oratory skills.
