Obama's getting better at the press conferences (already)
See him in Canada? The Um's and Ahhs are fewer, shorter and less notable. His sentences are flowing more naturally and not running on as much. Seeing a need for improvement and making the necessary changes. Anyone still wonder why people have faith in this guy?

The uhms and aahs are intentional for some reason, because Michelle does it too. :shrug: It's been delightful to watch this press conference.

5. No, everyone does it when they are being careful about what they are saying
It's totally natural. He does it because he is naturally a very careful person and he is extra careful now. Still, look at him today versus the president-elect days? Am I the only one who see the difference?

2. i think also he is more confident that he is hearing the american people loud &
clear. i think each amazing reception he get gives him that assurance he's on the right track.

3. I don't know, the "uhhs" are still there
but it doesn't bother me.

6. No, there aren't near as many
The OP is right. They're pretty well gone today. It is interesting.

4. He's going a great job -- the only improvement could have been ...
if he had done a "David Gregory" and actually answered one of the French- speaking reporters in their native tongue!

7. I think he speaks Spanish fairly well, and speaks Indonisian as well.....
However, I don't believe that he speaks French. I could be wrong though.....

8. I can't wait until he gets to France ... Sarkozy LOVES him ...
I'm sure he and Carla would be happy to give Barack some private lessons when he makes his first European trip.

...with Michelle dragging Carla out of the room by the ear, shouting "I got your 'private French lesson' right here, bitch!":spray:
