It's weird how a partisan bias affects people. Yesterday dad said he was going to miss having an articulate president, to which I replied although Obama is amazing at delivering speeches, he's really fucking terrible at talking extemporaneously. It was physically painful listening to him sometimes because of those long, awkward pauses as he uttered, "Uhhhhhhhhh" or "Ummmmmmmm." Compare that to Clinton, who also was great at delivering speeches. That man could talk all day without skipping a beat. But when I mentioned that to mom and dad, they immediately leapt to Obama's defense, which I knew if Bush or Trump pulled the same shit they would've slaughtered him. Mom in particular surprised me because as a child she always scolded me for saying either uh or um because I would "sound like an idiot." But because it's a Democrat and Obama, suddenly all that shit is forgiven.
