Like I said, I do not like Bush, I am merely showing the hypocrisy here. If any is an elitist it is Obama as well as Bush. People hated Bush and said the guy could not speak. Apparently Obama cannot speak either, yet he gets a total pass.

People hated Bush.  The fact that he could not speak was simply one more thing to make fun of him with.

And again, it's arguable that Obama is a bad speaker.  I went to his rally on Halloween and I never heard a single "uh."  And when he "uhs" at press conferences, it's not like it's a "derrrrrr" pause, it's just a quick, habitual pause while thinking.  It's a bad habit for speakers, but it's a far cry from the Bush-isms, like I said.  Saying "uh" is different from...I'll give a list of a few:

"Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream."
"You work three jobs? … Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that."
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
"They misunderestimated me."
"So long as I'm the president, my measure of success is victory -- and success."
