Politics – All it takes is one gaffe to taint a Republican for life. But what about Barack Obama? The guy's a perpetual gaffe machine. Let us count the ways, large and small, that his tongue has betrayed him throughout the campaign:
Obama and his charming wife both suffer from FOOT IN MOUTH DISEASE
Yeah, he said stuff ALMOST as stupid as:
"You work three jobs? â;¦ Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." Dumby
"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." You know who.
"I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office." Just one week ago.
"Afghanistan is the most daring and ambition mission in the history of NATO." 'W'
"Let me start off by saying that in 2000 I said, 'Vote for me. I'm an agent of change.' In 2004, I said, 'I'm not interested in change --I want to continue as president.' Every candidate has got to say 'change.' That's what the American people expect." Hooooooweeeeeee!!!!
Gotta love that Dumbyah!
The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on..
Barack's an idiot savant! That's why he said that stuff. Oh, alright, he's just an idiot.
FTA:
"By any logical or reasonable standard this man is unqualified for, and incapable of, actually leading the United States. But, for his supporters it's not about logic or capability, it's about feelings. They are emotionally invested in him and cannot get past their "feelings" to take a considered look at his character, plans, polices, accomplishments or lack thereof. They've all felt the Chris Matthews leg tingle and they are seeking it again and again."
I believe that sums up Obama and those who follow him quite well.
and there are others that the article left out..Churchill speaking with Hitler and Tojo, the incident in Afghanistan where the soldiers had no equipment so they were using captured rifles these 2 come to mind immediately.......this man has no credibility whatsoever.......on top of which he has spent more time campaigning for the Presidency than he has spent on the floor of the Senate......and we are supposed to take him seriously
* Last May, he claimed that Kansas tornadoes killed a whopping 10,000 people: "In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died - an entire town destroyed." The actual death toll: 12.
*Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: "Over the last 15 months, we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."
*Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, South Dakota audience, Obama exulted: "Thank you Sioux City - I said it wrong. I've been in Iowa for too long. I'm sorry."
*Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle." On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
*Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement:
"There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born."
Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was "speaking metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole."
BWAHAHAHAHA!
*Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by honing in on a lack of translators:
"We only have a certain number of them and if they are all in Iraq, then it's harder for us to use them in Afghanistan." The real reason it's "harder for us to use them" in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.
*Obama pleaded ignorance of the massive Hanford nuclear waste clean-up:
"Here's something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I'm not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don't know exactly what's going on there. Now, I promise you I'll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport."
I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he's voted on at least one defense authorization bill that addressed the "costs, schedules, technical issues" dealing with the nation's most contaminated nuclear waste site.
*the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama's "Dreams from My Father:"
"Then, there's the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don't exist, say the magazine's own historians."
* And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn't "pose a serious threat to us"â;;cluelessly arguing that "tiny countries" with small defense budgets can't do us harmâ;; and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, "I've made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave."
GO PRESIDENT OBAMAAAA!! :D
"Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn't 'pose a serious threat to us';cluelessly arguing that 'tiny countries' with small defense budgets can't do us harm; and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, 'I've made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.'"
The message completely depends on the audience. Relativism at it's finest.
When you aren't capable of telling the truth, it becomes very hard to remember which lie you told to who and when.
Obama is bad news. It amazes me that he gets a pass from the MSM when every other politician was raked over the coals for having done just ONE of those types of gaffes.
Remember Dean the screamer, Bush: "Read my lips", and countless others. Why is it, that Dean get's railed out of a nomination for screaming in jubilation, but Obama is adored for not knowing what a fifth grader knows, 57 states???
Obviously, the media is afraid of being accused of racism, should they actually make any noise of just how stupid a black man is, but it is open season on whites.
Could it be that they actually are racists, and are trying to disguise that fact by bending over backwards to worship Lord Obama?
Obama is ignorant. His wife is ignorant. They have proven that point several times. It isn't because he is black. it is because he is ignorant.
At some point, between the internet, and word of mouth we will all know everything there is to know about Barak Obama. It is not entirely his fault that the Democrats shoved him out there too early to stop Hillary. He is not ready, and he will fail. How could it possibly be that this late in the Primary season he still cannot end this voting, and claim the magic number of delegates? He gets close, and Hillary beats him 2-1 in W Va, and Kentucky. If he were a qualified candidate he would have closed this Primary season weeks ago.
Word of mouth like "John McCain has a secret black love child".
You evangelical hate mongering anti-american, american hating, neocon facists will need to retreat to your closets in red state deep alabama on your racially pure militia camps where you belong, the jig is up.

Obama: I want to be president of all 57 states
My heart goes out to Kansas.
Same feeling
He's not claiming 57 States he's claiming 60 states.
He said he had been to 57 states with 1 left to go, that would be 58 states.
And then he said his staff won't let him go to Alaska or Hawaii,
That's 60 states.
Kinda explains why the Electoral College is so difficult for em to understand.
I think he was referring to his 57 states of mind.
There's already been ONE thread about this oversight, how many more do you all think you will need to post between now and Nov? lol
Until his blind flock of followers wise up.
Actually the total number of states was 60. He had been to 57, had 1 left to go, and was not going to Alaska and Hawaii.
