It is so very distracting. I find it hard to believe that someone in the inner circle has not sat down with him and made him count the number of times he does this...and then practice speaking without doing that. He is obviously bright, engaging, knowledge rich and a fine choice...other than this one blatant and on going distraction from the content of what he is saying.

Ther are many, many AMERICANS that work hard and make an effort to live within their means. We struggle and BUDGET. But, we do not expect others to bail us out.

It's a bit hypocritical, don't you think? I am not even a Republican (Libertarian, thank you), and I can see that. How many Democrats did we see/hear 'getting on board' and 'cooperating' with Bush after he won elections? You still can't stop the bashing! The reason we have two major parties is so they can negotiate and compromise....not roll over and accept whatever is handed to them, whether they believe it is good for the country or not. The stimulus package was heavy with pork. Once it is hammered out to a more reasonable package that will actually do what it was originally intended to do without saddling future generations with unnecessary debt, it will be passed. Take a chill-pill, Jackie. Jack-Your comment has me stifling a laugh. It's a bit hypocritical, don't you think? I am not even a Republican (Libertarian, thank you), and I can see that.

I counted 20-25 ‘ah’s’ in each approximate one minute response! It is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I’m sure this man is very intelligent, but his speech pattern belies that fact. You would think someone of his position would have completed a speech class at some point in his life. As press secretary he really needs to brush up on his speaking skills. I am trying to be positive about this administration, but so far we have a man who cheats on his taxes in charge of the Treasury, a man who has no intelligence experience in charge of the CIA, and ROBERT GIBBS–a man who can’t speak properly as press secretary!! You would think someone with great communication skills would be the number one choice. But, umm, umm, umm….I guess that would make too much sense.

This Press Secretary needs to listen to recordings his own talks to see just how bad it is.
Its hard to believe the Mr. Obama who speaks so well would pick a speaker like Gibbs, good friend or not to represent him for communication to the press.

Tom Daschle, and Nancy Killefer are two of the finest, and most competent public servants you could possibly hope for in these appointments. They have been assassinated by the Washington healthcare lobby through their paid Bush Republican henchmen in congress. These Bush republicans are the same people blocking the economic recovery plan put forth by the Obama administration.

I am BURNING MAD America. And you should be too. Tome Daschle and Nancy Killefer were exactly what we needed to help turn this country around and fix our economy, and catastrophic healthcare crisis.

If I were their boss I would tell them to get right back to Washington. And dare congress to not approve them. How ridiculous is it to reject highly qualified people that this country needs just because they made a mistake on their taxes. Don't stand for that anymore America. They apologized, and paid their taxes, and that should be it. Their country needs them. But President Obama has to do what he thinks is best. I understand that. I'M JUST SO MAD at the anti American Bush Republicans.

Like many of you I have been trying to enjoy the after glow of this Beautiful historic election. But I see that the republicans in congress and their cohorts aren't going to be good sports, and LOSER'S!

SO BE IT!

In spite of President Obama's repeated offers, and gestures of collegiality to Republicans. Bush Republicans have seized upon every opportunity to stab President Obama in the back. And by doing so they are stabbing you, and the rest of the American people in the back. Well, you don't have to put up with that. And you shouldn't put up with that. President Obama has only been on the job two weeks. And he inherited two wars, and the worst economy since the great depression.

We had an election. And president Obama, and the democrats won BIG. And Bush Republicans lost miserably!

The Bush Republicans are the ones responsible for the worst economic crisis since the great depression. And the Bush Republicans are responsible for the worst healthcare crisis in American history. A healthcare crisis that is killing hundreds of thousands of you every year. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured, and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies.

President Obama, and the Democrats should take back all the concessions they granted the Bush Republicans, and tell them to put up! or shut up!

Everyone, start calling and contacting these Bush Republicans and tell them to stop blocking President Obama, and the Democrats recovery plan. And stop trying to block, and corrupt healthcare reform. Tell them to get on board with President Obama and the Democrats, or GET OUT!!

If these Bush Republicans refuse to cooperate I want all of you to immediately begin the process of removing them from office by every legal means possible. Including impeachment, and recall.
