However, I have seen behind the scenes footage of the DNC Convention where he is just clowning around and his speech is much more flowing as he is not discussing hard policy issues (that require concise wording).




That means nothing. I've seen BTS of GWB and he is a good conversationalist as well. Obama is far & away a better public speaker than Bush, but your last statement is irrelevant.



Yeah.

What I was getting at is that he only goes "...ummm.." and "...aaand..." a lot when he is speaking officially and trying to form perfect statements on the fly. He is more deliberate in this manner than say other politicians like Joe Biden (who just lets it flow no matter what).
