Here Is a Compilation Video of Every ‘Uh’ Uttered by Obama During Debate
It is widely accepted that President Barack Obama lost Wednesday night’s presidential debate to GOP nominee Mitt Romney. In fact, a CNN poll released late Wednesday revealed 67 percent of registered voters thought Romney won, while just 25 percent said Obama came out on top.
But, for what it’s worth, Obama took first place in the “uh” contest.
BuzzFeed put together a compilation video of every “uh” the commander-in-chief uttered during the debate. As it turns out, Obama spent at least 51 seconds of his speaking time making the sound.
“Even the president’s most loyal fans have got to be getting annoyed with this,” BuzzFeed’s Dorsey Shaw writes.

Posted on October 4, 2012 at 11:40pmThe media who treated Obama like a king instead of a president, did feed the arrogant, ego-maniacal lightweight. BTW, he is lazy, unfocused, and totally spoiled. He’s had everything handed to him all of his life. And the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Obama was unprepared for Mitt Romney, because no one ever holds Obama’s feet to the fire or confronts him when he lies. Our media lets him get away with whatever he does. They cover Obama’s failures, overlook his lies, they totally misled him about who and what he is. Which turned out, to be not very much.

Posted on October 4, 2012 at 11:44pmWhats even more humorous is both candidates agreed on a majority of topics.
How can they have a two hour long discussion on the economy and not bring up the Feds QE policies or the interest rate set at 0.1%? The core of our economic woes!
Notice how Romney agreed with Obama that the Federal Govts income from taxes should not be decreased and how they should not only continue to subsidies education but increase those subsidies?!
Its clear, even before the debate, Romney does not endorse Free Markets. The two men running for pres both endorse in a centrally planned economy ie Keynesianism and that is the funniest/disturbing element of the debate last night.

Posted on October 4, 2012 at 11:18pmUh, uh, I had to stop at 22 secs. Uh, uh, I just couldn’t, uh, take it anymore! (I was on Debate, Speech and Drama teams which won State competitions, multiple years in a row! In my opinion, there was either a lack of preparation or a lack of seriousness to the task at hand. If we, “Uh-ed,” or, “Um-ed” during prep or, especially at the debate, we would have been grilled and served like toast at a Woolworth’s Counter!)

Posted on October 5, 2012 at 9:22amThere is actually a better video on u-tube that features both Michele and B. Hussein Obama “himming and hawing.”
But, you are right Carney, Gibbs, and especially Axelrod simply him and haw in order to buy time to construct their lies. If you ever noticed, it is just a “time buyer” for a chronic liar.
Some have legitimate medical reasons for a pre-sentence stammer, but this crew doesn’t fit those parameters. They are simply all liars!!!

Posted on October 4, 2012 at 11:37pmI like your name SUNTZU….
But I prefer Chuang Tzu most of the time when dealing with the old Chinese lore.
Chi Hsing Tzu was a trainer of
fighting ***** for King Hsuan.
He was training a fine bird.
The king kept asking
if the bird was ready for combat.
“Not yet”, said the trainer.
“He is full of fire.
He is ready to pick a fight
with every other bird.
He is vain and confident
of his own strength.”
After ten days he answered again,
“Not yet. He flares up
when he hears another bird crow.”
After ten more days,
“Not yet. He still gets that angry look
and ruffles his feathers.”
Again ten days.
The trainer said,
“Now he is nearly ready.
When another bird crows,
his eyes don’t even flicker.
He stands immobile like a block of wood.
He is a mature fighter.
Other birds will take one look at him and run.”

Posted on October 4, 2012 at 10:37pm“Uh” is to the human brain as the hourglass icon is to Windows. It means “Standby, data loading.”
Of course it is still funny when the Liar-in-Chief does it as he tries to select which lie to repeat. The more one lies, the harder it is to keep the lies straight. Obama’s performance was evidence of this process.

Posted on October 5, 2012 at 12:14amJust read a comment somewhere from a librul that Obam-uh is not a debater but an orator. Uh-ha. Orator he wrote. You’d never know, glad he straightened it up.
In Obam-uh’s case, it isn’t data-loading. It’s a lie prefix mechanism.
