Obama and the intellectual stutter (http://articles.latimes.com/2011/may/26/opinion/la-oe-daum-obamaspeak-20110526)

This is an impressive bit of bucket carrying. When Obama is off teleprompter he falls apart. In fact yesterday Trump got him so rattled that he stuttered massively and awkwardly. Video: Wow! Obama Tries to Trash Donald Trump and Turns into a Stuttering Mess

Now back to the first link: Obama's typist came up with a 'neat' theory. It is deliberate: the intellectual stutter. :shocked:


Apparently, a lot of people consider President Obama to be bumblingly inarticulate. "The guy can't talk his way out of a paper bag!" a reader wrote to me recently. "Sarah Palin is a brilliant speaker. It's the president whose sentences are undiagrammable," said another in response to a column I wrote about Palin. It's not just my readers, nor is it exclusively conservatives, who hold this view. A Google search of "does Obama have a speech impediment" turns up several pages of discussion among the president's supporters and critics alike.Admittedly, the president is given to a lot of pauses, "uhs" and sputtering starts to his sentences. As polished as he often is before large crowds (where the adjective "soaring" is often applied to his speeches), his impromptu speaking frequently calls to mind a doctoral candidate delivering a wobbly dissertation defense.

But consider this: It's not that Obama can't speak clearly. It's that he employs the intellectual stammer. Not to be confused with a stutter, which the president decidedly does not have, the intellectual stammer signals a brain that is moving so fast that the mouth can't keep up. The stammer is commonly found among university professors, characters in Woody Allen movies and public thinkers of the sort that might appear on C-SPAN but not CNN. If you're a member or a fan of that subset, chances are the president's stammer doesn't bother you; in fact, you might even love him for it (he sounds just like your grad school roommate, especially when he drank too much Scotch and attempted to expound on the Hegelian dialectic!).

If you're not, chances are you find yourself yelling "get to the point already!" at the television screen every time Obama's search for the right word seems to last longer than the search for Osama bin Laden. And thanks to its echoes of the college lecture hall, you may think it comes across as ever so slightly (or more than slightly) left wing.



That's kind of ironic, given that the godfather of the intellectual stammer is arguably none other than the paterfamilias of the conservative movement, William F. Buckley Jr. With his slouch, his glazed-eyed stare and a speaking style that suggested the entire Oxford English Dictionary was flipping through his mind while he searched for a word like "dithyramb," he makes Obama's extemporaneous speech seem canned — not to mention pedestrian — by comparison. In fact, if the people critiquing Obama's meandering speech patterns were to see an old "Firing Line" segment, I daresay they would think Buckley was drunk or otherwise impaired.

Clearly while campaigning for Hilary he spent some time getting toked up with Bill.
BTW, the DNC should pay all the cost, including security and AF 1 , of him campaigning

the left wing hacks will say that he's such a brilliant man that he needs things written down in order to slow his thought process.

He can stutter and stammer all say long and the hacks say it's the most brilliant stuttering and stamering in history.

Without the aid of a TelePrompter, he's a mess.

This is the last paragraph (conclusion) of the OP: [lol]


Of course, the president enables that stigma by stammering his way through town hall meetings and other public dialogues as though they were philosophy lectures. Irritating? Sure. But inarticulate? Sorry, folks, but you'll have to find another adjective. And take your time. The right word is usually worth waiting for.


Does the DNC pay reporters to write this crap?

It's hard to lie without stuttering. But there will be gullible willful morons who defend this idiot to the grave.

I would bet a month's paycheck that Obama does not stutter when he lies.

His problem here was his teleprompter leaving him in the lurch.

If teh O'bama has a teleprompter and a sympathetic, responsive crowd he's crystal clear.

No teleprompter, objective crowd, da da da da.. da da da...

Which, if anyone's noticed, when teh O'bama's in his comfort zone he comes off like a black preacher delivering a Sunday sermon.

And again, when he's not in his comfort zone he struggles, massively.
