It Must Be His Age . . . and Inexperience

Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 11:59 AM

ABC News' Jake Tapper points out that Barack Obama has been a "one-man gaffe machine" (after, incidentally, Michelle Malkin made the same point last week).

Remember all the righteous media huffing and puffing over John McCain's one "Islamic extremist"/Al Qaeda gaffe? Well, it seems that it's taken several gaffes ("of consequence" as Tapper puts it) to prod the MSM into reporting that Barack misspeaks -- and on a fairly regular basis.

Here's just one, easily reported example from Tapper's piece:

As ABC News' David Wright and Sunlen Miller wrote, Obama seemed to either think Arabic is spoken in Afghanistan or he misunderstands the nature of military translators.

Imagine if McCain -- or any Republican -- had made such an error. Most Republicans would be characterized as ignorant chicken-hawks. In McCain's case, of course, it would be suggested that he's knee-deep into senility because of his age.

Well, maybe Barack's gaffe-proneness is attributable to his age, too . . . as well as to a heaping helping of inexperience.

Obama flaunting his erect member
I want to know how this video of Obama flaunting his hard-on (in his pants, no nudity) to what looks like Reporters can get more publicity.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F45rXyuTZjo It's revolting.

Give him time
At the rate he's going, Obama may just fill a calendar. And much like Bush, most of Obama's mis-speaks can be attributed to being a human being. But there are a few that are worrisome. The statement about diverting translators needed in Afghanistan to Iraq suggests that he doesn't understand that part of the world nearly as well as he'd like us to think. And his embellishment of his family history in Selma suggests that he shares the Clintons' "creativity" with the truth.

Can't compare....
....Obama's gaffe's can't even begin to compare to W's. Bush has made a cottage industry out of his stupid, inane comments. Entire 365 calendars, each bearing one of his idiotic comments, sell every year. Obama can't hope to ever sink to Bush's level.
