Obama to Sioux Falls: “Thank you, Sioux City!” Video added
Looks like Hillary’s not the only one who is sleep-deprived. And you know, it’s hard to remember where you are when you’ve been traveling across 57 states non-stop:
The bigger gaffe, of course, was the campaign’s decision to have Obama stand with landslide loser George McGovern:
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama started his speech tonight with a gaff[e].
“Thank you Sioux City,” he said, before realizing his mistake.
“I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry,” he said.
Obama appeared before a roaring audience after being introduced by former Sens. Tom Daschle and George McGovern.
Daschle and McGovern were among many of the state’s most prominent Democrats.
You’ve seen one bitter, clingy flyover town, you’ve seen ‘em all.

DIDN’T JOHNNY CASH SING A SONG CALLED A BOY NAMED SIOUX?
They should bring back Roger Water’s flying O’bama pig. It’s the only thing I’ve liked about the guy thus far.
That’s Sioux City, East Dakota!
I think he meant SUE CITY.
Not quite ready for Prime time, but ready for Daschle and McFailure.
None of this matters to the MSM.
He is Jesus Obama.
Becaue he says so.
I’ve been in Iowa too long!!
As opposed to being in Jeremiah Wrights RACIST CHURCH too long??
This CLOWN is one RED NOSE short of a CIRCUS.
Thank you CLEVELAND!!!!!
Spinal Tap.
did he say er, ah, er, ah, er, ah, er, ah,ah, first?
Poor Obambi, everybody pickin on him.
This guy continues to show that he’s a complete dunce whose only skill is giving good teleprompter. As many others have noted, if he were judged by the same standards as (among many others) Dan Quayle or George Allen, he’d have been out the door months ago.
I wonder if he can point to Iraq on a map.
I have my doubts he can even spell map.
Should we add a 58th state called ‘Stoo-Pid-Iddy’?
Now, that isn’t fair. Obama knows perfectly well there are 60 states - in fact, he mentioned that there were several states he hadn’t been in, besides the 57 he’d visited.
This clown needs a handler!
When you’ve got the Trial Lawyers Lobby behind you, one Sioux begins to look like all the rest.
I’m just impressed he didn’t say, “Thank you Slip and Falls, South Dakota!”
Word is that if Barack is elected President, his first act in office will be to change the name of every city and town in America to “Sioux City” so this type of thing never happens again.
“The Change America Really Needs”.
I guess this poser doesn’t see much difference between Sioux Falls and Sioux City. My husband had it right, this guy is a total fiend (cough cough fraud).
Then there are Native Americans who overwhelmingly supported Daschle. Yeah, it must be grand to be another voting bloc, huh folks. Did Daschle promise Obummer the Native American vote in return for his “support?”
what it is: Sioux Falls.
what he said: Sioux City.
what he was thinking: Sh*tsplat.
He meant Sweetie Falls…

Priceless!!!
Been to Sioux Falls many times (family). Driven thru Sioux City many times. To confuse it with Sioux City is unforgivable. Obama should be disqualified from public office for not knowing the difference.
Gaffe-tastic…
I’m still praying that some miracle will happen to keep this pea brain from being elected.He’s had one gaffe after the other and there’s more to come.
Purplepeep, he’ll want to throw in a few “Wrightstown” and “Ayersville” too.
This dolt must be among the dumbest in the entire universe.
Umm, how long was he there? Because it obviously affected his thinking.
Soooooo, the 20 years he sat w/ the Rev. Wright had no affect at all on his pea brain??
Yeah, right.
I am FAR from being a McCain fan but I am looking forward to seeing some debates between BHO and the Maverick.. I have a feeling that McCain will have barrys arse handed to him before he will realize it..
that is kinda funny in and of itself.. I don’t think he spent one second longer than he had to after he won the caucus in Iowa..
Sioux City, Sioux Falls,
Sioux you rubes later.
Vote for me one sioux’ing time and you’ll never sioux me again….
Sioux on that for a while
Duck Dodgers from the episode In Space, No One Can Hear You Rock:
Or maybe he was just shell shocked from hearing that gunshot. It’s a thought.
Sounds like he didn’t have his waffle this morning.
I think he’s relaxed. he thinks he has the nom, so he can do whatever he wants and the DNC is stuck with him. The DNC stuck themselves with a lemon. I hope many figure that out soon.
We need to use the photo of him with McGovern in a campaign ad. It should read, “What do these men have in common?”
PS Howdy from Louisville! Condi for VP!
Just a’ messiah
Doin the meet and greet
I’m a black man
that’s tough to beat
I’m your demo nom
Vote for me now sweet(ie)
Ragz to richez or so they say
Ya gotta-keep pushin’
for the fortune and fame
It’s all a gamble
When it’s just a game
Ya treat it like a capital crime
Everybody’s got a racist line
Take me down
To Sioux Falls, er, City?
Where the voters are green
And dumb but pretty
Vote me home…
bah, meant to change it to “I treat it like a capital crime”
The list keeps getting longer:
Obama’s America:
1) There are 57 states.
2) Roosevelt talked with Hitler & Tojo.
3) Arkansas is closer to Kentucky than Illinois is.
4) Sioux Falls = Sioux City
So how long is it going to be before the books/websites come out telling us all what and addelpated moron he is?
Or is he saying that you can’t tell one Sioux from the next? Maybe he thinks they all look alike.
It took the Dems how long to realize that Hillary was a nightmare? How long will it take them to clue in about BHO?
Nope. You’re thinking of Phil Collins.
Sioux Sioux Siouxdio.
Barack Obama
Half black, half white, all con man
Barnum had it right
I suspect it isn’t a dead ringer, but has anybody ever made the comparison to the Eddie Murphy movie The Distinguished Gentleman?
That’s probably racist, or inflammatory, or politicized, or something.
For Real? I think Mr.McCain, instead of accidently saying the wrong thing, has purposely done it, my favorite John McCain quote,
We all do look alike. Locals call our region “Sioux Land.” Besides Sioux City and, Sioux Falls, we have Sioux Center, Sioux Rapids, Sioux County, Little Sioux, River Sioux and others.
Another song is Sioux City Sue. “I’d swap my cows and dog for you…” Obama might be able to change the words a bit to “I’d swap my reverend for you…”
At least he got our area in the national news.
Just like McAmnesty… Obama may be “losing his bearings” a bit.
The Obamasiah can add states, cities, and planets at will. He is the creator and can add or subtract anything he choices on a whim. He can even split atoms, with his mind…
Let’s see 57 States of the United States, Souix City, Souix Falls-we’re really, really, really in trouble. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.
Unavailable for comment were the leaders of a growing, somewhat rough looking crowd that kept yelling something about wanting to change their vote.

He may not know Sioux Falls,
but I bet he knows exactly where Islamberg is…..
Hey doofus. How do you spell potato?
He says ” I campaigned in Iowa for 8 months”. he has been campaign since he got to the U.S. Senate. When is he going to do the job he was elected for? The people of Illinois got ripped off. You vote a guy in and he doesn’t want the job, so he goes for another job while in that job. Too bad that does not work in the REAL World. Imagine taking a job and the next day telling your boss you are job hunting on his time. OUT THE DOOR YOU GO!!!
Unless you’re his wife…
Neither one of them seem to do much at their day jobs.
The Obama Messiah made a mistake? Impossible! Take another sip of your Kool-Aid and all blemishes will disappear.
Sparky, the machine of Chicago got exactly what they wanted. And if he gets the Presidency, they will be paid back, many fold.
Politics is about power.
Being a freshman senator from any state is not much different than being the ugly girl/guy at the dance.
You’re there, but what can you do?
I’m from the area, so this is absolutely hilarious. I’ll grant him that Sioux City and Sioux Falls are both by Sioux Center in Sioux County, but good grief-they’re in different states and 90 miles apart!
What really shocks me is that he wasn’t driven off the stage. Must’ve been a lot of people there in the Messiah groove.
