Calling Obama - well known for his public speaking ability - "inarticulate" is yes, pretty beyond absurd 
You guys don't have to like listening to him, but classifying him "as inarticulate as Bush" is beyond a stretch  |
i find it annoying, but not nearly as annoying as repeated 'you know?'s or 'like'....
and i think it's a stretch to say that someone is a good speaker based solely on prepared remarks. however, when obama is not prepared, he's a big uhm-er. do you think someone sounds articulate when they say uh, um repeatedly? i didn't say he was inarticulate, i said when he stammers and makes noises while formulating a response that makes him sound that way. big difference.
