What's wrong with speaking slowly because one is being thoughtful and sure of what words they speak? One's words are very powerful and should be used with care, esp. in a position of authority. In this world of hyped up everything where most everyone speaks fast and loose, I find someone who actually thinks about what they are going to say and then says it at a careful and easy-to-understand pace to be like breath of fresh air...a welcome change, pun intended.
