Do Barack and Bill need their tonsils checked?

When I was in grade school, my friend had a habit of interspersing "ummm" between words or sentences. It drove my adopted mother nuts. Mom rarely swore because she believed that those who did had nothing more intelligent to say. Bless her heart...she passed away in 1983. But if she keeps tabs on mortal TV, she must be spinning in her grave! Bill O'Reilly and Barack Obama can't utter a sentence without sounding like a kid with a sore throat at the doctor's office! Ah-h-h! O'Reilly occasionally sticks in the aforementioned "ummm". Martha Stewart sounds like she never rehearses. Or maybe she needs glasses for the teleprompter. Listen sometime and you will hear more "umm's" than English words. Caroline Kennedy got lambasted during her senatorial run for saying like or you know every other word. I watched NYC Prep and found the same lame monologue. It was...like...ridiculous...like...you know? What happened to plain English, proper pronunciation and diction? Don't axe me! Yes, that is another pet peeve of mine and I have black friends who think the same way. Hell, Bill Cosby laments the use of Ebonics! If you want to be perceived as an intelligent individual, you must first speak like such a person. Ah-h-h, are you ...like....listening, Mr. President, Mr. O'Reilly and...ummm...Ms. Stewart?
