I don't see the problem here...

All of you make the very point I was trying to make. I DO NOT LIKE BUSH OR MCCAIN OR OBAMA, that was not the point of this. The point is that there is a double standard. If this were a republican, he would be trashed, but since it is a democrat, he gets a free pass from the press and all of you. Bush has made some idiotic quotes, I never denied that he did, nor was I trying to justify his with Obama's. I merely was pointing out the double standard here in america where one guy can do something dumb and get killed over it and another guy who is a liberal democrat can do something dumb and get a total pass on it. I have no bitterness, and either one of the idiots running in this election would and will continue to ruin this country, I was merely making a point about the way Obama speaks and yet no one in the media seems to care.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

The argument most people are making is that saying "uh" a lot doesn't make you stupid. Meanwhile, Bush has demonstrated repeatedly that he has a horrible misunderstanding of the English language: he uses the wrong words, he makes up words, he uses double negatives that don't exist, he conjugates verbs incorrectly, he switches from singular to plural, and he puts food ON families. Everybody is in agreement that Obama is a great speaker, and saying "uh" doesn't stop that.
Besides, Bill Clinton had the greatest line of all, when he said he "felt like a pickle stepping into history." But then that just raises the argument: was that a mistake or the most brilliant quote of all time?
At least he doesn't say "my friends" every three seconds

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
I think I am dumber after reading through this thread.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Alright, you didn't stop when you were clearly wrong. It's on.
You really think that there's some double standard in the media when it comes to Democrats? What about when Obama did something completely common (a pound or "terrorist fist jab") and got attacked for it by the media? I don't see too many people making fun of McCain's completely embarrassing mannerisms (two hand wave, for example), so what's with this horrible media double standard? Now it's pretty easy to see that I actually don't care about any of the things I'm talking about, but it demonstrates how easy it to imagine up some kind of double standard. During the second Obama vs. McCain debate, McCain said "My friends" what must have been at least 25-30 times. "Uh" is a common speech fragment used by billions of people worldwide, but how many people can claim to say "My friends" every other sentence? I didn't see widespread media coverage of McCain's catchphrase, but then again, I only watch the evil liberal media.
For the last 8 years, we've had a vomit-inducing conservative media that appealed straight to hatred. Just read one of Ann Coulter's books and tell me she doesn't deserve to be shoved into a third world country. How about when Howard Dean had his entire campaign ruined for his infamous shout (at the height of conservative popularity, no less)? People made fun of Bush because his "Bush-isms" were completely hilarious and off the mark. He should consider himself lucky that people stuck with "Bush-isms" and not "Immediate proof that this guy is retarded."
Yeah right... saying "uh" a lot is the same as saying "Nukular" or saying No Child Left Behind is to help with the education of the "childrenS"
