I think this was the main reason 90% if the time Barack Obama responded to media in regards to policy, he very deliberately spoke slowly. It was annoying to me at times since I imagined he didn't speak like that when he was having a normal one-on-one casual conversation, but now I realize why he spoke in that manner. The gears must have been turning in his head as he was speaking.
