Yes, he does speak in a rhythm. This is not racist as someone below stated. It is just his speech pattern.

And whats wrong with that? Better he sound like a white, Christian T.V evangelists? I’ll take Martin Luther King over a which doctor any day. Shouldn’t you be in school kid?

He actually learned to speak that way from 20 years in Rev. Wrights church. He just learned not to scream about hating us, he intends to take us down from inside.

Every where King went, controversy followed. Kind of like Obama.

Yeah, the comfort factor of smooth,even speech, is what shows how collected a person is with their thoughts.

Why does the old man put everyone to sleep, and why does Sarah sound like she’s scratching her fingernails across a blackboard?

He doesn’t user a sing-song rhythm and you are race-baiting. Stop it.

Look, I prefer what Obama says rather than what McCain says in his snivelling voice and “that one” comments and Palins, ” Gee dog-gone-it! Yoooouuu Betcha!”

Baptist ministers are great! There are none better. I think Obama would be flattered to be compared to them.

It is a technique that goes with body language that they are coached on by experts. It is said to provide a quite hypnotic appeal when one speaks this way. It encourages trust and calm.
Slick, huh?

The words definitly matter for those who bother to listen. I was very moved. I have visited churches where pastors put on a show and didn’t say anything. I know the difference. This is insulting.

I think it’s easy to compare him to MLK. The issue I take with that is in his speeches, which are hardly memorable or substantive. Obama may be trying to invoke MLK, but he’s a pale reflection, if at all.

The words matter to me. He’s speaking the way he was taught, to enunciate and to reflect on important passages. And any “uh’s” are normal patterns in speeches of those used to speaking in public.
