There are more than a few reasons to criticize President Obama. His use of the word "uh" isn't one of them. Jesus.

It is when people tout him as such a great orator and public speaker.

I always find it funny how people criticize him for using a teleprompter and then criticize him for even the slightest off-the-cuff statement he may make without it. Now we're criticizing him for using a common spacer in speech.

This is why it's hard to take Republicans seriously.

Just can't go without a teleprompter....

Transcript of President Obama's interview with Fox News' Chris Wallace | Fox News

83 times he said the word "uh" in a simple interview. Good grief.

Did you watch the associated video? Chris Wallace uses "uh" A LOT too. Everyone does. A president who needs to choose his words very carefully may use it more than others while trying to navigate the proper language to use. Maybe we should outlaw teleprompters though...the next step is holographic recordings of speeches. If all the president, whoever it is, has to do is read a screen and look from right to left switching screens, what's the point of them being there physically anyway?

He is a great orator. Could you stand before the American public and the world and do a better job?

When the whole damned world is parsing your every word? You'd better damned well take time to find the right one.
