I seriously have not noticed. I don't see him on our awesome 5 channels enough to be able to watch him enough to say he talks too much. Maybe if we thought back to when Bush started, and Clinton, they talked just as much?

I am so used to President Obama being lengthy I hardly notice it at all anymore. I think he's a meticulous thinker and speaker and does not wish to miss anything!

its a very debatable subject

does he talk too much, or just the right amount?

i honestly havent noticed that much

whenever he does talk tho it always has a purpose and is about the good of the general world so maybe its just him, maybe he's just got a really annoying voice (the kind that teachers hear over everyone else even when they're whispering) that makes it seem like he talks too much but i dont think he does

his speech's always have a very good point which makes it hard to discern if he talks too much or not so.

Well he has to talk, because if you don't people will make assumptions rather than seeing things for how they really are. that is not something you want done to a president. You have to let people know what you are doing. Obama is doing everything right...

Not without a teleprompter.

Notice how he looks pissed and doesn't even have a sense of humor about it. He could have at least made a joke. I guess he can't laugh at himself.

I'm a fan of a President who talks coherently and intelligently, without making up words. It's such a nice change of pace after the last 8 years.
