Barack Obama: Gaffe Machine

Sadly some Democrats want to bring up a McCain gaffe and attempt to put him down as addle brained or senile. It’s been said that folks in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Obama has made more than his fair share of gaffes. If you pay attention BO can hardly talk without a teleprompter. Just check out this CNN interview. Try not to fall asleep between the ands, errs, uhhs and stutter words.

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

And we have other examples of BO screwing up without someone behind a teleprompter feeding him a speech.

So is Obama able to think for himself or is there a puppet master pulling his strings when he makes one of his flawless speeches?

Michelle Malkin sums up some of his many gaffes and points out how differently Republicans are treated.

Quote:
All it takes is one gaffe to taint a Republican for life. The political establishment never let Dan Quayle live down his fateful misspelling of "potatoe." The New York Times distorted and misreported the first President Bush's questions about new scanner technology at a grocers' convention to brand him permanently as out of touch.

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:

— Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas 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.....

The bottom line is if Democrats don’t have a flawless and articulate candidate they shouldn’t be bringing up McCain’s gaffes or they’re likely to be reminded that their guy isn’t perfect either.

I do think the "NEWS" gets carried away bigtime with reporting the crap on both sides. I don't know why anyone would want to run for anything.

They have totally drifted away from what is newsworthy and need to leave the junk news to the comedians.

I wonder if he can name all "57" states. Of course that's not including Alaska and Hawaii.
