OUR OPEN LETTER TO THE…UH…PRESIDENT

Hi all,

Our May issue of Speaker’s Digest contained an open letter to President Obama addressing his overuse of non-words (uh, um) during media interviews. If you missed it, you can read the full text here.

Believe us–we’ve cured worse offenders, and all Americans will benefit from his improvement. Check out the video to see what we mean:
