Everyone reads stupider if you include every "like" or "um" or "ah" they make while they are speaking.  It takes years of work to learn to speak impromptu without filler words.  She just became a politician a year ago.

For me, it is not how she speaks, it is what she she says and the actual substance of her ideas that are bothersome. I feel like She is wrong more than right. Some of the statements are factually incorrect to a degree that even someone with little political or government understanding could recognize. Congress is not an arena for people learn their craft, they better have an understanding of the political arena and what is expected of the position they hold on arrival.

I know our pres has had his moments, but not to this degree, at least imo.

She has said a lot of stuff that I disagree with as well.
I agree that climate change is a crisis. I thought Obama's clean power plan was a good first step and I would also be down for higher fuel taxes and fuel-efficiency standards to help address it. 
I don't agree with trying to get everybody in an electric car during the next 10 years. I don't agree with the government providing jobs to everyone who can't find them on their own, and I don't see what such a guarantee has to do with mitigating climate change.
