It is very inspiring that the President of the United States is someone that stutters. I hear people bashing him a lot, and I don’t have the best idea of him. But one thing I can say is that I always have respect for him being in so many stressful situations and speaking, despite stuttering since a child. And as far as people stuttering coming off as stupid, it’s funny because in high school I got the totally opposite impression...What seemed like the brightest, most expressive, involved, and most participating student in my history class, stuttered pretty heavily. He blocked on lots of words and I remember one girl in the class talked bad about him behind his back about his stuttering. I wouldn’t be surprised if I heard that his grade in the class was better, and deservingly better than hers.
