Michelle Obama's 'Effing Fake' Stutter Barely Noticed
The first lady’s Democratic convention speech last night in Charlotte has been showered with praise from both the left and the right. Still, the uncharacteristic stutter that came through didn’t go unnoticed.
Some examples of the stammering:
- “And-and-and as I got to know Barack, I realized…”
- “And we were taught to-to value everyone’s contribution….”
- “That’s who we are. And-and standing before you four years ago…”
- “Being president doesn’t change who you are. No, it-it reveals who you are…”
TIME‘s White House Correspondent Michael Scherer tweeted, “Michelle Obama’s rhetorical style leans on the intentionally stuttered word.”
