Obama "Misspeaks" Again
Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 9:52 PM
Yet another slip of the tongue from Barack Obama, courtesy of Jake Tapper, who reports that Barack has offered a dazzling explication of the obvious:
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.

Speaking without a teleprompter has its perils.  I'd only point out that if Senator McCain had made this error, we'd hear all our Democratic friends noting how "confused" he is.

How do voters trust Obama

who spent 20 years following black liberation theology's advocation of hatred and racism?

How do voters trust Obama who received his initial political support from unrepentant, bomb-throwing radicals like Ayers and corrupt businessmen like Rezko?

How do voters trust Obama, who, in his own words, calls them too stupid to know where their own best interests lie?

Obama cannot be trusted to do what is best for America. Obama can be trusted to put himself before all other considerations.

Obama is afraid to speak

extemporaneously. That about says it all. He is the Hollow Man, empty inside.

How does a voter trust a candidate who, for political purposes, refused to pass laws protecting the lives of innocent survivors of abortion. That is the true Obama. That is where his values lie. He is willing to sacrifice innocent babies to advance his career. At least the Mayans and the Aztecs sacrificed innocent human beings for the common good, not just for the political aspirations of some chieftan.

McCain Media
You guys are correct, the McCain media may not cover his gaffes. But come one, give that one reporter a break.

Goat squeeze
You said "Did it ever occur to you people that there are no jokes on Obama because he almost never says anything stupid?" Seriously

He doesn't say anything! And says it so eloquently :-). Just an empty suit, with no experience. 142 whole days in in the Senate, before going into the campaign mode. He votes 'present' most of the time, shich means he didn't vote. There's your representative.

Obama may have trouble winning a majority of the 50 states, but when you throw in those other 7...

Why?
This is hardly in the same league as the foot-in-mouth drunken disease ramblings we have had to endure from our current Looser-In-Chief. (Personal favorite: "I know how hard it is to put food on your family.")

Did it ever occur to you people that there are no jokes on Obama because he almost never says anything stupid?

Brace yourselves for four years of articulate, insightful comments.

Obama's surge mentality
So when interviewed by ABC, he says the surge is a success but he still would have voted against it. Does this make any sense to anyone? This guy has no clue what he's doing and as it gets closer to the election, he'll be the one who is painted as "confused." I think this election will be closer than the media would like... :)

Short of story ideas?
If Obama kept making this mistake day after day, we'd have to start wondering about him. McCain keeps repeating his flubs even after he's corrected. And the media you so love to denigrate protect him. But, I guess you need something to write about.

Introductions
"Israel, meet Israel. You have a lot in common. I think this will be the start of a beautiful friendship."

Is it true that Obama has a choreographer accompanying him on top of all of his other adivers?

Not even close!
Small error, no biggie compared to the whoppers McSame has let loose in the last few days. Czechoslovakia anyone?
Reason writes: Tuesday, July, 22, 2008 10:50 PM
Lying
What's with the lying? Now McCain is saying that Obama "denies the success of the troops." Even Townhall can't possibly believe that. He also intentionally tells the lie that he knows that his Media friends won't cover: "The surge brought about the Awakening." Uh, no. That's a lie. Or, maybe McCain doesn't know what he's talking about. Nah, it's a lie. Thankfully, McCain's media what cover it. If anyone gets close, something about Michelle will work itself in. Bank it.

Whew....!
I was so worried about that!
