Watching Obama on LKL...
Larry King asks some good questions, Obama is dealing well and not equivocating on the issue of homosexuality.

But the one thing we learned back in PS and Debate is driving me nuts;

"Avoid space fillers like 'Um' and 'ah..'."

He must have used 'ah...' nearly 200 times by now.

Hope his campaign is paying attention. :)

3. When he speaks, he's great,
When he interviews he lapses.

2. I don't know what you all are talking about.
he just sounds like a mid-western to me, especially an Illinoisan not born and raised in Chicago. His accent and way of speaking sounds very natural to me. Perhaps if us in the mid-west can get use to the northerners and the southerners way of speaking, then you all should try to over look your prejudice against our way of speaking. :rofl:

Down here in the southern part of the state, we are blessed with a bit of a hillbilly twang with some of our words. The plural for you is traditionally here a variation of youn'se but because of Professors criticism of it, I have gone to you all. Cannot do a you in person for more than one of you all. ;-)

Honestly, I think he is doing really good. The same old Barack to me. :)

4. "Throw the cow over the fence
