Quiet interestingly he still stutterers and he uses all the speech tools to surpass the blocks. I'd say hats off! He's been attending the famous McGuire program for the last 2 years and now he's an easy-speaker as I'd call it. It's truly motivational to see a stutterer achieve such great heights specially in a field where speech is utilized to the maximum! As for Barack Obama, there was some speculation that he stuttered, it was during one of his speeches, when he was faced with a really sensitive/heavy question regarding his ignorance towards the black community. And as they as, all of stutter at sometime or the other and so did he. But all in all, I wouldn't say he has a stuttering problem. We've had quite a few stutterers who've scaled great heights, some of them "used to" stutter, some of them still do. Leads me to a question? Was it getting over their stuttering that enabled them to reach such great heights or they scaled them despite their stutter? All in all, stuttering does open our eyes to a new world which I'm sure will take us a long way.
