I know that is an odd title, but I have been noticing something about President Obama’s speech patterns that is starting to bug me. I am not just talking about the content of his leftist views, this about how he speaks. It is one of those things that I wish that I had not noticed, because it makes it very hard for me to listen to him talk. Again, I am not talking about his message.
When you listen to him speak, notice that he whistles like a tea kettle when the teleprompter’s words begin or end in an “S” or a “C.” It is pretty dramatic at times and a little off-putting. Click this link to listen to a portion of his recent press conference where he answers a question about abortion. I should probably have used a clip with a less serious topic, but it is a good example of this speech pattern.
I apologize in advance for bringing this to your attention. If you already disliked the content of his speeches, now you also have to endure the whistler syndrome.
