And thats a bad thing how?

 

 

 Well, it was more a comment on the French language. I hear a lot of "ums and uhs" in that language.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

At least he doesn't use awful grammar and randomly pause and start nodding in the middle of speeches.

Try standing up in front of thousands of people and speaking without a script. You'll say "umm" a fair bit.

Move the decimal over to the left two spots and it's a more accurate approximate.

 

Um, yes. I'm, uh, pretty sure that I'm, um, right about this.
