PrideAssassin Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Not only does Obama possess the same idiot smirk as Bush, he has a proclivity for saying stupid things. Just like, well... Bush. "I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis." --speaking via satellite to the Democratic National Convention, while in Kansas City, Missouri, Aug. 25, 2008 "Let me introduce to you the next President -- the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden." --slipping up while introducing Joe Biden at their first joint campaign rally, Springfield, Illinois, Aug. 23, 2008 "Just this past week, we passed out of the out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee -- which is my committee -- a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon." --referring to a committee he is not on, Sderot, Israel, July 23, 2008 "Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." --Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008 "How's it going, Sunshine?" --campaigning in Sunrise, Florida "On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong." "Hold on one second, sweetie, we're going to do -- we'll do a press avail." --to a female reporter for ABC's Detroit affiliate who asked about his plan to help American autoworkers "I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon "Why can't I just eat my waffle?" --after being asked a foreign policy question by a reporter while visiting a diner in Pennsylvania "It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." --explaining his troubles winning over some working-class voters "The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred in our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society." "Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions." (WOW 8 WHOLE QUESTIONS!)--exasperated by reporters after a news conference "You're likeable enough, Hillary." --during a Democratic debate "In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed." --on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton 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? Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “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. (Applause.) Now, having said that, 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, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site. Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., 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, Ala., 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.” Last March, 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” — 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 Illinois Senator incorrectly says Arabic translators deployed in Iraq are needed in Afghanistan (but Afghans don’t speak Arabic). Great, and THIS is the guy the Democrats want with control of ‘the button’. One of BO’s many (and they are countless) excuses for the votes he made, didn’t make, maybe made, or Planned Parenthood or the (mob) Chicago pols forced him to make, or was just “present” to make in the Illinois State Senate. Via the LA Times, January 8, 2008: Obama said oops on 6 state Senate votes He pushed the wrong button, he asserted at the time. Two of the admitted flubs were on hotly contested issues. http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/1...tally-fatigued/ http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/1...affes-continue/ http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/baracko.../obama-isms.htm http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q...NTUyN2FkNmMzYTc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrideAssassin Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 We get it. You don't like him. Thank you. I'm not rising to your bait any further than that.Real life is not bait.I don't care about him as a person one way or the other. I do care that this lightweight is going to be our President. Since his incompetence is indisputable and not really open for debate, I suppose I posted this in the wrong forum. Oops.Ah, well.Thanks guys, for four more years of Bush.

Zwor Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I think Mcain would be more like Bush. Just look at the policies. This. Not everyone is perfect. Well, no one is perfect. Just human error in some of his slip ups. But seriously, would you rather have Palin president after McCain bites the dust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr2011 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 As an independant (I guess that's what you'd call me, I support whomever I believe the best candidate) I must say: wow. you wasted all that time gathering stupid slip up quotes, I suppose you scowered the internet for those all night. Y'know, I could come up with atleast twice that about Palin, and don't get me started, my friends, about my friend John McCain. That is all my friends, I thank you, my friends.
