Now that

(1) it's not an established fact that it takes 3-10 years (and even more as time passes, population grows, and the complexity of our economy/culture increases) for a president's actions to take effect on our economy, which effectively means that Clinton had a greater effect on the recent economy than Bush did, and

(2) the President has incredibly less influence than Congress, which effectively means that Congress is much more to blame than anything Bush did,

Way to know your facts & just eat what the press feeds you. You'd think a videogamer of all people would remember not to buy everything the press says.

note: I'm not saying I like Bush either, but actual facts show that he's been hated on far more than reality says he should be.

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."

"The question is rarely asked: 'is our children learning?'"

To even compare Bush and Obama's speaking, Bush needs to learn how to conjugate the verb "to be."

I think you guys need to give Obama a break. He worked hard to get into the White House, and Joe Biden worked even harder back in old Scranton to put food on his family.

Shame on you.

lol.

Look the only way Obama would be more stupid than Bush, the dumbest president or world leader to ever exist, would be if he shat his pants during the conference and then told everyone that he shat his pants.

Saying uh just means he is thinking about what he has to say. Compared with Bush it seems as though he actually processes thoughts before speaking.

i bet u dont like Obama cuz he used big words, honestly everyone has their little saying, obama's saying is obviously " uh",  hes still the best spoken polition after colin powell

The funny thing is that Kazadoom forgot to post this video.
