Palin pauses in speech due to intellectual deficit. LOL!!!

He hesitates because he’s thinking. Let’s not pretend Obama pausing is the same as all the Bushisms. And let’s not forget that both are almost entirely irrelevant.

Why does he pronounce ‘”a ” as A , like someone who just learned how to read ?

Wow. And all of this time I thought it was because he’s an idiot.

If Bush did this he’d be called a village idiot, but Obama is some kind of savant? Uh-huh.

… the intellectual stammer signals a brain that is moving so fast that the mouth can’t keep up.

Is there something wrong with his brain synapses? Are his neurons and their neural circuitry sending incorrect or altered signals to his mouth? Is he just barely holding himself in check? Maybe this is why he needs a teleprompter all the time.

See, I can make up crap with pseudo-science as well. Intellectual stammer my foot. ;)

Right, because when Democrats stutter its because they’re so brilliant. When anyone else does it, its because they’re idiots. Got it.

It is so amusing that watch blatant partisans try to explain away why, if Obama’s speaking ability is no better than Bush’s, why he’s a genius while Bush’s supposed difficulties proved him to be an idiot. Makes you wonder how many people are aware that Obama’s been providing enough material for HotAir to run a daily “Obamateurism” feature.

It is call thinking, an individual concept that has been lost in the conservative community.

Its not a hypothetical. The media always painted Bush as an idiot for doing the exact same thing. This is just more left wing spin from the Democrat media.

Sarah Palin uses teleprompters too.

Obama is not an intellectual, that would require intelligence which he lacks greatly.

Most people can think quickly enough to speak without 43 pauses in a fifteen word sentence. If he’s always thinking so much, how is that he doesn’t manage to say anything brilliant?

There’s a much better explanation for the incessant stammering: He lies a lot.

what a bunch of absolute BS! i’ve seen videos of this dude giving interviews to newspapers and radio programs before he even thought about running for president and their was no stammer at all then. when he spoke what was really in his heart and mind back then the words just flowed out of his mouth. now he’s become a calculating liar who has to pause and think of each word he says before speaking them.

Remember when Bush toasted the House Dems in Baltimore a couple of years ago?

Wait, no, that was Obama who toasted the House Repubs…my bad.

Smart people are stupid. Why do people think with their brains when they can think with their guts?

i wonder why the media hasn’t compared Bush’s test scores in college to Obama’s the way they did against Kerry’s back in 2006 (when they found out that Bush’s college scores were higher). oh yea, i forgot. Obama has all his college records locked up.

Actually, if you click through, Daum says she wrote the piece in response to the comments she received to an Op-Ed she wrote critical of Sarah Palin. Though it’s not linked, presumably it was the column in which she wrote;

And that’s not the only reason why we can’t bring ourselves to take the gloves off with Palin. It’s impossible not to feel like we’re punching shamefully below our weight, which everyone knows is against the rules. Palin lacks the intellectual, analytical and rhetorical skills to have a competent discussion about policy or much else. She is handicapped not only by a lack of education, experience and curiosity about the world (wearing a Star of David in Israel doesn’t count), but by a speaking style that often collapses under the weight of disjointed, undiagrammable sentences. She is, in terms of the political arena, easily outclassed.

Otherwise toward Alex’s closer, Daum is an columnist whose work is labeled “Op-Ed” by the Tribune Company. She was hired to provide commentary and it’s her job to express an opinion.

Who ever said Obama was a genius? They simply said he’s thinking while free speaking so he pauses. He didn’t confuse words repeatedly, or mispronounce them. Bush did. It’s not even a comparison and it really has nothing to do with which side of the isle your on. You can blame media for picking sides, but it’s pretty clear who was the better speaker between the two people in question.

Whoops! Forgot the link to Daum’s Palin piece.

does anybody at the LA Times or Mediaite want to call and ask Bush what year this is?

Hey, isn’t this the same LA Times that’s sitting on videotape of our Dear Leader feting Rashid Khalidi?

It sure would be helpful to see that given the current Middle East situation.

The only thing about the intellectual’s stammer that doesn’t ring true is that when intellectuals are done stammering, they usually say something factually correct or at least intelligent-sounding. When Obama speaks extemperaneously, he compares his bowling skills to that of a Special Olympics participant, states that Hirohito surrended to MacArthur, and tells an audience that inflating your tires properly saves as much energy as off-shore drilling can produce. This “intellectual stammer” BS is simply a rationalization by an enthusiastic Obama fan.

Because Bush and Obama attended Ivy League schools, makes them in no way comparable. How many malapropisms has the President spoken as opposed to his predecessor, who filled volumes with his?

If you’d like to count them, start here.

It could be that Obama is over thinking every word he says in an effort to not reveal who he really is. He must have learned from his Joe-the-plumber exchange. Or how about that major faux pas: If you like the insurance you have, you can keep it. Let’s face it, he’s from Chicago. Nuff said.

There, fixed it.

If the teleprompter scrolled “I am pimping for Orly Taitz” Obama would say it without missing a beat.

Who you gonna believe? The guy that doesnt know the what year it is without the promoter and was a community organizer. Or the women that took on the good old boys and drives the left crazy.

This overblown attempt at damage control is just plain pathetic!

If he’s got this problem………..just give the guy some meds like kids with ADHD get………….it slows down their brain. It’s been used for this effect for years!

Of course, if that’s NOT his problem, he’ll just speed his mind and A$$ off. And, still talk like a goofball while doinging things like he did in Great Britain, embarrassing the U.S. with his lack of couth in knowing the proper gifts to give (not an Ipad with your own speeches on it!) and then the latest debacle during his toast to the Queen.

Naw, as I think of it………….that’s got nothing to do with having a brain that works quicker than his mouth does. He’s just dumb and the MSM covers up his goofs by gushing all over him.

Maybe this is proof that Obama’s cognitive thought process isn’t fully developed?? That would explain the need to constantly have a tele-prompter because without it, he is quite simply unable to form a coherent thought into actual words. just a thought….

You’re right. Only idiots become editors of the Harvard Law Review.

“Obama was sufficiently self-deluding – some would say narcissistic – that he felt little of that anxiety. Later in his book, Remnick lets slip into the record a revealing letter Obama had written while president of the Harvard Law Review.

Remnick attempts here to illustrate Obama’s maturity on matters racial. In the process, however, he suggests one explanation for how Obama got into Harvard and how he became an editor of the Harvard Law Review (HLR). Wrote Obama to the Harvard Law Record:

I must say, however, that as someone who has undoubtedly benefited from affirmative action programs during my academic career, and as someone who may have benefited from the Law Review’s affirmative action policy when I was selected to join the Review last year, I have not felt stigmatized within the broader law school community or as a staff member of the Review.

Remnick refuses to concede Obama’s need for affirmative action, let alone any stigma attached to it. He boasts that this “inner sanctum of the establishment” accepted only the “brightest and most ambitious” first-year students and offers as explanation, “Obama’s grades were good.”

As he does on many occasions, Remnick chooses not to share with the reader a larger truth. The fact is that Obama did not make the Law Review the old-fashioned way, the way HLR’s first black editor, Charles Houston, did 70 years prior.

To Obama’s good fortune, the HLR had replaced a meritocracy in which editors were elected based on grades – the president being the student with the highest academic rank – with one in which half the editors were chosen through a writing competition…”
<a href=http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.printable&pageId=292001

(Column continues below)

He sounds like those “Intellectuall’s” you hear on ESPN being
interviewed at the end of a Football or Basketball game.
Only thing missing is the 10 You Know’s per sentence!

….This competition, the New York Times reported in 1990, was “meant to help insure that minority students became editors of the Law Review.”

The election for president of the Harvard Law Review was based more on popularity than competence. Obama prevailed over 18 other candidates only after the HLR’s small conservative faction threw him its support.

Once elected, Obama contributed not one signed word to the HLR or any other law journal. As Matthew Franck has pointed out in National Review Online, “A search of the HeinOnline database of law journals turns up exactly nothing credited to Obama in any law review anywhere at any time.”

In calling Obama a “terrible student,” Trump speaks a bit harshly, but not overly so. By Harvard Law standards, Obama was a terrible student prior to admission. Following graduation, he contributed nothing to legal scholarship….”

Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,

“I am presidential material, if you do not believe me, ask my media.” Barack Hussein Obama 2008

“Winning the Future” Barry Hussein Soetoro 2008

HEHEHEHHEHE, the difference the year, one electorate actually realizes what year it is, the other not soooo much.

GAG! What swill. Let President Obama open all of his records – as President Bush II and John Kerry did, and I might believe it.

“The stammer is commonly found among university professors, characters in Woody Allen movies and public thinkers”

Woody Allen characters?or Woody Allen- because I am not sure if Mira Sorvino, Scarlett Johanssen or Owen Wilson fit the intellectual stammering prerequisite (no offense to both – I didn’t coin the phrase).
and “Public thinkers” does he mean? bloggers, tweeters, us ‘comment section’ peeps? or just people who think out loud, like the homeless crazy standing on the street corner.

I previously read an article that indicated that Obama had a scar on his skull (a photo was shown to verify this) indicating a possible previous brain surgery. If it was a serious operation, the brain damage may have affected his thinking/reasoning ability and, therefore, his speaking ability. If that turns out not be to be problem, then, his previous drug addiction may have affected his brain functions that further affect his thinking/reasoning ability and speech ability. There is an explanation for the many errors and mistakes he has made in his speeches, e. g, 57 states in the union, his father serving in World War II, his forgetfulness of all of the promises he made in the 2008 campaign, doctors cutting off feet when a simple procedure would do, etc.

I had a speech impediment (stammering) during the first 20-25 years of my life. Thus, I have a good understanding of how difficult it was for me to get the thoughts out when my mind would go blank. Obama suffers from a similar handicap. I overcame this stammering problem by the time I had graduated from college. I attribute my problem to lack of confidence. Obama not overcoming this problem, even up to the age of 50, indicates that it is a more severe problem than a mere confidence, mental, or emotional difficulty. He must have something more severe caused by brain damage. If it were not for the teleprompter, nobody would consider him as an orator and great speaker.

My favorite is Al Gore getting a D in Natural Science at Harvard, not just in one science class but in two. Of course he went on to be THE scientific authority in battle of global warming. Even fooling enough people that his credentials could earn a Nobel Peace prize – sounds like someone else we know.

Pretending to be smart? Maybe Obama IS smarter, he knows if his grades were released he might have to do alot more back peddling than Kerry, Bush, McCain, Gore (throw Palin in for good measure) to reassure the general public that he is in fact a ‘genius’. Stammering a sign of genius- wow.

He stammers because he’s so smart. No. He stammers because it’s a habit he’s developed, and habits are hard to get rid of. Most people have them, leave it to the LA Times to pretend its an asset. No wonder our economy is in stagflation and the media is ignoring it….

We’re in stagflation right now, God knows what columnists will make up to give a good spin on the economy for Obama in the fall….

Your absolutely right. The couple of times that the teleprompter did not function properly, he couldn’t even ad lib his comments. He had been “reading” them! I can’t believe the left didn’t pick up on that. They were too busy making fun of Palin speaking for a 1/2 hour with 3 phrases written on her hand. She knew what she wanted to say – just wanted to make sure she didn’t forget the points – they crucified her and yet Obama’s horrible missteps when he had to speak – nothing, absolutely nothing. So, he’s very good at reading, but he isn’t even engaged in what he is reading – he’s just reading with no comprehension. Not a sign of a deep thinker; far from it.

I just reread what I had posted and was thinking about Obama’s faux pas on the world stage. I’m convinced that he is a very insecure person and petrified when dealing with World Figures. When someone is so frightened of their surroundings they tend to make silly mistakes in their efforts not to make big mistakes.

Actually, I’ve seen that on some conspiracy websites. But, IF this was true, the scars seen from photos would have nothing to do whatsoever to do with his speech. The occipital or the parietal lobes.

But, it would indicate that the part of the brain that would be involved with processing visual information (occipital), or ability to find their way in an unfamiliar space, or in understanding written or spoken language.

Occipital Lobe – Region in the back of the brain which processes visual information. Not only is the occipital lobe mainly responsible for visual reception, it also contains association areas that help in the visual recognition of shapes and colors. Damage to this lobe can cause visual deficits
Parietal Lobe – One of the two parietal lobes of the brain located behind the frontal lobe at the top of the brain.

Parietal Lobe, Right – Damage to this area can cause visuo-spatial deficits (e.g., the patient may have difficulty finding their way around new, or even familiar, places).

Parietal Lobe, Left – Damage to this area may disrupt a patient’s ability to understand spoken and/or written language.

The parietal lobes contain the primary sensory cortex which controls sensation (touch, pressure). Behind the primary sensory cortex is a large association area that controls fine sensation (judgment of texture, weight, size, shape).http://www.waiting.com/brainanatomy.html

Based on this analysis I for one cannot wait to hear the explanation for him signing the wrong year in a British Royal guestbook. Maybe his advanced brain is actually operating on a 36 hour day cycle and he adheres to mayan chronology, which our undeveloped western minds cannot begin to grasp. Of course, all this brilliance does not explain his March Madness brackets getting blasted every year.

(ugh, my think muscle hurts now.)

So, in other words, the theory that he has had brain damage and it’s affected his speech is false. Completely.

The most that can be said that IF he had had surgery on his brain in these areas …………he would be prone to wander unknowingly into the wrong room, thinking he (maybe) was in the kitchen and pick up a telephone and try to cut his steak with it.

Leftists love Barack Obama because, compared to them, he’s brilliant. Unfortunately for America however, Obama’s not as smart as the dumbest conservative.

Duh. He’s an idiot, that’s why he stammers.

Take away his teleprompters during a speech he’d be a puddle of spit on the floor around the microphone stand.

How many and How far up Obama’s butt can you libs get?

intellectual stammer — Good grief!

The lengths to which the liberal media will go to run interference for Obama never ceases to amaze.

He stammers and overuses the teleprompter because he’s afraid he might actually tell you what he thinks and wants. He knows that would be politcal suicide.

Unreal. The exact opposite of their explanation is what is actually happening. His brain isn’t processing fast enough and that is why he is stammering. Obama has never shown any special intellectual ability without lengthy preparation. People who know what they are talking about never stammer.

They will go to any lengths. And when someone calls them on it, they either ignore it or attack the person pointing it out but they never adapt.

Chris Jones said:

You’re right.
It is just astounding that you can pick out at least two or three stories a day where Obama is absurdly praised or shamelessly defended. We’re not talking about a misstep every month or so here, it’s perpetual.
The thing is that these people have to understand his screw ups and the public’s displeasure in order to formulate the damage control strategies. They are dishonest and it is not accepted journalism. Of course, the entire thrust of what they’re doing is essentially campaigning for Obama’s re-election.
Right now, I think David Gregory is way out ahead in the absurdities race.

You’d think that even Dims would begin to question themselves if they notice much time they must spend covering up for Hussein’s incompetence. But then, the term “Dim” has meaning.

Publius219 I’m sure you would take a president that currently has more days on the golf course then in the oval office. However Palin accomplished more in her half time as Governor then Obama will ever acomplish even if you give him another 4. So yes you’re the one that we have to fear… The uninformed, regurgitator of talking points.

When he told Reed that he had a gift, the gift was that he could read a TelePrompTer! Next time notice thst when his prompter freezes he also freezes. Palin’s prompter froze when she was at the republican convention. She went on without it because she was speaking from her heart and what she stood for. Obama has been so protected that he doesn’t have to worry about messing up the media will clean it up or conveniently not report it. Let’s face it, this is the biggest scam put forth on the United States. Kinda like Justin bieber, can’t sing to save his life but sold and packaged perfect.

Meaningful, substantive extemporaneous speaking often requires one to pause to collect one’s thoughts.

Of course, this is not a problem when simply reciting memorized banal talking points … or referring to crib notes written on the palm of your hand.

It goes on and on. Obama is certainly one of the most creative and articulate Presidents we’ve ever had. His knowledge is incredibly broad and rarely does he make a verbal flub whether he’s speaking extemperaneously or from a teleprompter. Comparing Bush II’s calamitous inauthenticity and inability to communicate coherently to Obama is a joke. I realized a long time ago that rightwingers hatred and contempt for Obama will never change, simply because it’s so ingrained, stupid and emotional – the majority of people in America happen to like Obama and their affection for him will continue to grow. It’s unfortunate that we no longer have a pulled together opposition party or any viable choices except for Obama.

Big O stutters because 1) he losses his place on the teleprompter and 2) he forgets what he was going to say. There are NO OTHER reasons.
And not only that, it is very irritating listening to the uh, uh, uh, uh.

LOL A little hate bait for all the racist right wing kooks.

Those who were duped into thinking Obama was authentic in 2008 must be getting pretty disappointed as the layers are pulled back. Denial can be very painful to confront. I suffered that with Bush in his second term.

Meaningful, substantive extemporaneous speaking often requires one to pause to collect one’s thoughts.

Of course, this is not a problem when simply reciting memorized banal talking points … or referring to crib notes written on the palm of your hand.

..or when you know what you’re talking about.

It goes on and on. Obama is certainly one of the most creative and articulate Presidents we’ve ever had. His knowledge is incredibly broad and rarely does he make a verbal flub whether he’s speaking extemperaneously or from a teleprompter. Comparing Bush II’s calamitous inauthenticity and inability to communicate coherently to Obama is a joke.

who are you talking about? You can’t honestly be referring the the stutterererer who absolutely freezes when his prompter does – has no idea what the hell he’s talking about. There is no way you can spin this without being so partisan that you’ve lost all credibility. He’s even been taking lessons on how to speak with a teleprompter because his speeches were so wooden and disjointed that his people thought he needed some expert advice. Honestly, I just don’t believe it – I bet you’re Maghan Daum’s Brother.

An interesting article on Obama and his teleprompter (from a Democrat)

Are you referring to the brilliant mind who is so incapable of speaking off the cuff that when a teleprompter was not adjusted he ended up welcoming HIMSELF to a visit at the White House? That President?!

Obama’s intellect is just hearsay, he has shown no records to prove it, only his Obamatrons, like the MSM, report this without any proof, which shows they bow down and suck up Obama’s feces and will tell any lies to back their boy. I do like the way Obama speaks faster than his telepromtor and has the uncomfortable pauses. It certainly shows no intellect by using a telepromtor, I think it shows laziness and incompetence in a person. Telepromtors are used by those who cannot think for themselves. Let’s vote in a True Leader in 2012. America needs no more Affirmative Action On-The-Job-Training Presidents!

…and took teleprompters to talk to a grade 6 class. Yup – the brilliant speaker!

Must be nice living your whole life where every time you f*ck up, theres a liberal somewhere who will spin all your faults into acts of pure genius.

How many and How far up Obama’s butt can you libs get?

intellectual stammer — Good grief!

I guess you’ve never heard the pure genius of Jim Neighbors singing.

Here’s a good thought experiment.

How would the leftist media react to the following:

President Bush was golfing for the 70th time when he got a call to hurry up and return to the White House because Seal Team 6 was about to get Bin Laden. The Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense and other key players were all ready in the White House Situation room when President Bush showed up wearing his golf shoes and golf clothes, as the mission was already in progress. There was no room for President Bush to sit at the Situation Room table because the mission was already in progress and everyone else was already there for long amount of time, so President Bush had to pull up a chair and sit by the side of the table looking like a spectator, rather then the Commander in Chief.

Of course, change Bush’s name for Obama’s.

No one else would have gotten a pass for golfing during the beginning of that operation. No one! Either the President didn’t have a clue that the operation was going to take place that Sunday, and was therefore completely out of the loop, or he thought golfing was a higher priority then being the Commander in Chief inside the Situation Room, in control of the operation..
Who in their right freaking mind would go golfing when they knew that our military was launching a dangerous mission penetrating our “allies” air space in order to kill or capture America’s number one terrorist enemy?

Yet the media doesn’t even bat an eye.

The current ” Affirmative Action Jackon ” president, that’s who. Either excuse is not excusable to us ” real ” American people. It’s the curb for Obuma in 2012.

Ir really is funny watching the media to allout to protect hehimself. listing to Joe Biden tell us that “Obama meticulously planned this mission” is beyond BS, it is a flat out lie, and for the media to perpetuate that hehimself is such a strong gutsy leader is hog wash.

ANY President would have done this, ANY. And hehimself was golfing and NOT planning anything, President’s don’t play in military mission planning – they approve and endorse, but they don’t do the planning.

Biden is a liar, Obama is a wussy…those things will never change.

57 states; corpse man,. and now….intellectual stammer as the latest excuse being used to protect HIM, their god, their cult leader…the one and only Obamasiah.

Sick puppies one and all.

You realized there isn’t a democrat in here – they have nothing to say.

Decades ago, black activists were protesting the fact that the media and entertainment businesses, portrayed blacks, generally, as thugs or gang members. As a result of those complaints, the “Huxtables” were created to portray blacks in a more positive light and to fight against stereotypes. This LA Times article, imo, shows that preconceived notions still exist amongst much of the media. A perfect example of the subtle bigotries by media, would be to compare how media treats white individuals whom graduate from Harvard and speak proper English, as the ‘norm’ amongst whites, and how blacks are viewed quite differently. If a black man/woman graduates from Harvard and speaks proper English, the media will promote them as some type of ‘intellectual genius.’ Such subtle bigotries, still.

So, you’re say’in Obama was listening at rev wright”s church. He stole a Black evangelistic style for the very reason Clinton always carries his bible on the camera side of his body.

This story is beyond ridiculous. HOLY COW!

This Barack Must Go person.You keep talking about Real Americans Who do you call Real Americans ? Are you a Native American? is it those who have similar thoughts like you have?

George Will and Charles Krauthammer both have a hundred times more intellect that Barack Obama could ever be portrayed by the liberal media to have, or could ever dream of having; yet I never heard Will or Krauthammer “Intellectually Stammer”

Obama is merely an empty-head whose intellect and sophistication has been over-hyped by the liberal media. This is the same president that thought the US had 57 states; he was in London few days ago and could not even sign a significant book with the correct date, let alone make a proper toast to the Queen of England.

The LA Times Columnist should really be ashamed of herself, and I hope she reminds Obama that “Austrian” is still not a language, the US Constitution was not written “20 centuries” ago, Europe is NOT a country, there are only 50 states in the USA, Great Britain is NOT “England” but is made up of: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Could this Barack Must Go person pease tell the world what he/she has lost due to affirmative action? It is always those who are so insecure and have done nothing to improve their lives who are ready to blame Obama and all immigrants for their problems.
The amount of hate in this person is just amazing.
Are you going to be doing this for the next two years or if you are unlucky the next six years?
This is sad

We were discussing a stupid article. You’ve changed it into something else. What is your agenda?

Now, how do you feel about the article being discussed?
Any profound insight?

Somehow she managed to fight off 43 false ethics challenges that she had to answer for, costing her and her family everything they had. In order to fight — she had to have money.

See, the left decided to do this to a woman who did nothing wrong, but was proud to serve her Country.
Absolutely deplorable.

I’m a Native American, I was born in College Point, Queens, New York. I don’t know of another definition of Native American that’s accurate. I you want us to trace our lineage back haven’t the athropologists told us that we all trace our lineage back to the great rift valley in Africa?

Meghan Daum “explained”:
But consider this: It’s not that Obama can’t speak clearly. It’s that he employs the intellectual stammer. Not to be confused with a stutter, which the president decidedly does not have, the intellectual stammer signals a brain that is moving so fast that the mouth can’t keep up. The stammer is commonly found among university professors, characters in Woody Allen movies and public thinkers of the sort that might appear on C-SPAN but not CNN.

Is Meghan Daum a speech therapist?
Meghan, can you say “Practicing without a license?”
No? O.K., Who’s had too much scotch?

Maybe the Great Pretender should be considered for American citizenship, which he seems to have lost in Indonesia.

You could not be more wrong.  The speech center lies in the parietal lobe of the left hemisphere of the brain for right-handed persons.  It may lie in either the left or right hemisphere in a left handed person.  My son had surgery on his parietal lobe due to a hemmorhage and it effected his speech, leaving him with mild aphasia.  Moderate to severe aphasia could easily explain Obama’s lack of ability to retrieve the appropriate word or phrase when he is not using his teleprompter.  This would also explain the youtube video showing that Obama spent TWO MINUTES saying ummm, uhhh, etc. during only the first two questions of his last media question and answer session.  I suspect he has had an implant that allows those behind the scenes to feed him words and phrases when he loses track.  Watch the way he pauses and tilts his head when he loses track…he appears to be listening.
