Lol! I noticed that too. He's a very smart man, but he needs to find another crutch. Sometime when I have to speak to people, I say "Uh" to give the impression that I'm thinking about what I'm saying, but I usually already have it planned out.

Work on that, Obama. Confidence is king!!

How did Bush turn out? So far, 90% of the reasons people condemn him involve lackluster evidence and a major press spin. I have yet to see one piece of solid evidence that Bush has been a bad president. No, he wasn't perfect. He wasn't even great. But right now, more solid evidence points to him having been a good choice.

So in order to make bush look better the official spin now is trying to make obama look dumb when a good chunk of the republican campaign was trying to pin him as some sort of intellectual elitist?

Nope, don't like Bush very much, just pointing out the facts, which I know are hard to digest.

Nobody's going to listen to you or like you if you act like such an elitist. You know they're hard to digest? Sure he says "uh" plenty of times.

It's still a far cry from the "Bush-isms."

Some figures for America (from Dutch Metro)

                                  2000                           2008

Unemployment         4% (avg)                     5.4% (avg)
Deficit                       $230 billion plus          $455 billion minus
Inflation                    3.38% (avg)                5% (avg)
Dollar Value              $1 = €1,01                   $1 = 0,79€

I would prefer a President who says a lot Uh than doing stupid things like Bush. But hey I am not an American;

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.
