‘Uhhh,’ the president’s ‘uhhh’ press conference was ‘uhhh’ terrible
Washington Post ^ | 6-8-12 | Ed Rogers

If you are president of the United States and you don’t have anything to say, don’t have a press conference to say it. If you’re the president of the United States and by Thursday it’s widely believed you’ve had one of the worst weeks of your presidency, take Friday off, and specifically avoid having a press conference.

Anytime you are president and you’re speaking in public at an ill-timed press conference after a bad week, try to have something to say, and do a good job in saying it. I watched the whole thing, but it’s not easy to think of one useful thing that he had to say. And what he said, he said very poorly. Was it just me, or did the president seem a little dazed and confused? He should have had a cup of coffee before the press conference.

Dazed and confused, huh? One might be tempted to think that a graceful way out of the Oval Office is setting up via an unspecified health problem. Hillary to the rescue and Obama garnering perpetual sympathy and tingling tears from Chris Matthews. Or would that be tearful tingles? Probably both.

But I thought Clueless Joe said he was "articulate", too.

Yeah, he did, but he also told a crippled guy to stand up, so....

Any bet on Obama’s big whopper “Private sector is doing just fine” going to show up on the alphabet networks and old print media?

It’ll be a real fun weekend to watch CNN/MSNBC. I predict those talking heads will double down and say Republicans ENJOY the economy downturn and President Obama’s misfortune.

Oh, he's had many 'news conferences' that were like that.

As for his uuuhhhhs and oooohhhh....check out this from his early years:

And there are numerous other Obama-uh videos at different events.

0bama is a stoner. has been since he was a kid. no news there"

Barry announced to the world that he inhaled, "uhhh, that was the point" (was that a backhand at Billy C, btw?). Have any of the "reporters" asked him when and why he stopped inhaling? Now that he can afford it, does he still do a little "blow" from time to time?

I doubt the “Liar in Chief” could ever have a good news conference.

Yes, and he’s still clean, though not too articulate, perhaps....

Isn't it strange that after the Bilderberg conference that EVERYTHING seems to be going south for the idiot - AND even the press is starting to bail?

I am convinced that the press is piling on now so that they can go back to being Obama's full time cheering section after the conventions. That way when anyone points out how biased they are for Obama they can deny it and point to how hard they were on him over the summer.

Three years ago, these same people thought (or fantasized, or pretended) that all his "uuhhhhs" were the sign of an astute, thoughtful man.

What happened?

He overcame his lack of focus and uhhhs by reading off a teleprompter for every occassion. He once set it up in a elementary school classroom. He became a laughing stock and is trying to speak without it uhhh uhhh uhhh sometimes.

When he talks alot in public, the media can’t make a fake image for him and him into a brilliant scholar. People don’t like him when he is overexposed.
