Would love to comment, but um, it says I don’t have authorization to view the page.
Oh well. More coffee…
The Dhali-bama speaks!
Moron.
I’m sure many in the DNC are getting a serious case of buyer’s remorse for backing the empty suit. He has become the gift that keeps on giving every time he opens his mouth.
long term effects of the coca.
“Now I’m gonna pump sunshine up yo ass!”
That featherweight Obama makes Dan Quayle sound like a George Washington.
Don’t get me wrong, I would prefer Vice President Quayle over any of the candidates running today…
The Dems have got be crying now that they have a presidential candidate who can’t beat the sorry Repub candidate John McShame.
But, it’s really all good news for them, win or lose.
Too bad his Harvard educated brain is not as big as his EARS.
He could always turn it into one those Southwest Airlines commercials — “Want to Get Away?”
Do you really think McCain can beat Obama?
I hope so, but my husband isn’t so certain. Obama’s certainly proved – beyond the gaffes – that he’s unfit for office and more inexperienced than any other candidate.
But I’m concerned as hell that he’ll win. Hello, socialism and hello, Nanny State.
I don’t think I could tolerate it.
By the by, what’s the make-up of Sunrise, FL? It’d be interesting to see if Obama’s more apt to get the names correct when he’s in a place he prefers to be (like that crowd in Oregon)…
C’mon. He’s just tired from all this campaigning. snort!
In a class by himself. When do we get to play Obama Gaffe Bingo?
The extended campaign definitely seems to be taking its toll on Obambi.
Every time Hillary seems to gain some momentum, she also blows it by saying something stupid.
I’m enjoying the show.
Maybe it’s just a name he uses with all kinds of people, you know, like “sweetie”?
Ok Michelle,
How do we get the authorization to view the page? We newbies are still learning our way around here.
ajmontana…DITTO
englishqueen01,
If and only if he can convince the base that he is not a carbon copy of Barry and will wax conservative on at least some issues.
Othewise I am with your husband. Some of us are still trying to figure out who the heck to vote for. I am really looking at my local elections. Problem is I am in Germany and Manhattan KS is in the middle of the US. I guess straight Repub ticket, but that is not a guarantee these days.
If McCain said crap like this he’d be labeled as senile.
There. Fixed that for you.
EQ, I think Sunrise is made up of a lot of retirees. It’s in Broward County if I remember correctly and I think there are a lot of former New Yorkers who live there. The only reason I remember this is because a classmate of my father’s from grade school and her husband first settled there (St. Raphael’s Class of 1944) but felt out of place being from the Chicago area. So they moved up to Winter Haven-where the Aged P’s live as well as there seemed to be more people from the midwest in that area and they thought the people were nicer.

Dear Michelle Malkin:
Somehow the administrator page is linked instead of the story.
AHA! That explains the problem. Thanks undrseige247.
Unfortunately, the people who are going to vote for him will. They are so blinded by the glow that he could say the moon is made of blue cheese and they’d believe him. And, of course the media would then start having “in depth” stories about how NASA has covered this fact up for so many years. It’s disturbing to see how the media has selected both candidates. And both poor, I might add.

Right, how much coke did this guy actually snort? Was is comparable to Tony Montana’s cocaine use?
Say, these loafers taste quite good once you get used to them……………
Dolt!
He is going to blame
fatigueQuale for giving him the talking points before he arrived inSunshineSunrise FL.Another glowing example proving that, despite all that money spent on his high-class over-priced privileged Ivy League education, it was still not enough to overcome his innate and ongoing penchant for perpetuating his chronic afflication of foot-in-mouth disease.
I blame the teleprompter.
speaking of gaffes …
How about his statment in his famous “race relations” speech when Obama ended the speech by telling the story of the “white woman” in South Carolina who had to eat mustard and relish sandwiches in order to afford health care for her mama? That was a doozy. By chance I was visiting South Carolina a few weeks ago and checked the prices at the local Piggly Wiggly. (If you travel through the Southland, you will know Piggly Wiggly!)
I found that you can buy decent cold cuts cheaper than buying mustard and relish. So the lady he talked about had no reason to eat mustard and relish sandwiches unless she actually liked the taste of this lethal combination. But what would you expect from a guy who goes to Iowa and tries to relate to people by talking about the price of arugula at the Whole Foods?
BTW, I bought a gallon of OJ at the Piggly Wiggly for $1.99 so there is no reason why the lady in Obama’s tall tale could not get her Vitamin C daily requirement quite cheaply.
Let me be clear…………….this is just a distraction that doesn’t help my children.
So much for ivy encrusted intitutions of higher learning. I think we’ll send our kid to the local U.
‘ Well, at least the foot in my mouth will distract from my huge ears”……
He forgot to mention the half-pound of salami.
I’ve heard and read a lot of criticism from the left wing about George Bush’s lack of extemporaneous speaking skills.
I agree. George Bush is a very poor speaker without a teleprompter. It is sometimes embarassing.
But I’ve listened to this Obama, caught off guard by questions, fumbling and stumbling for words, producing sentence fragments and sometimes complete rambling sentences that make absolutely no sense, and do not answer the posed questions.
He is, in my opinion, as poor if not poorer extemporaneous speaker than is our current C.I.C.
So, where’s the criticism from the Dems on this issue?
Hillary Clinton is a much better communicator from the top of her head. She’s much quicker on her feet with spontaneous oration than is Obama.
And no one in the MSM points this out, because the MSM are so far into the tank with Obama that they couldn’t swim out to save their lives.
links are messed up
Tell ya what would be funny–maybe he’ll address a crowd at Fudpucker’s.
That would be one for the ages!
Maybe he needs a GPS chip embedded in his neck, to go with that alien one…
He’s like the energizer bunny. He keeps gaffing, and gaffing, and gaffing!
He’s got the ears for it, too!
You know – I don’t get the whole ear thing. If he hadn’t said anything, I am pretty sure no one would have made such a deal out of it outside of the cartoonists and puff piece writers looking for a “human” angle.
You mean we wouldnt have noticed these?
B.H.O.
You are all racists. If you don’t start getting a tingle down your leg (and elsewhere) when Jesus Obama speaks, then you are racist. There is only one explanation for not following the herd.
Racism.
‘Y’all best quit talkin’ smack ’bout me or mah woman gonna drop yo a$$” !
Here is the link to Sunshine-Sunrise Florida.
Have to get them names right.
Instead of a flag pin on his lapel he ought to wear a squirting flower.
Barack Hussein Dumbo. lol I love it.
Alfred E. Newman speaks. The world listens.
You can’t be serious? There is no way GWB has better speaking ability, word usage or any other public speaking attributes this man possesses. Either on EX or FX.
Hello Mr.Ahmedeniziad, thank you for inviting me to Saudi Arabia. Let’s chat.
It just hit me yesterday during a ‘down’ episode….he’ll be elected president, do a lousy job and very little will ever be said/written about that lousy job.
Lowered expectations are the worst kind of discrimination…..
Silky……Good link. Those people are just stone cold in LOVE with that boob! He could have said Sun City and they would STILL collapse at his feet. I wonder if he’ll walk on the water and THEN part it ?
It’s not like he forgot to set the parking brake on a Subaru!
Silky, if you’re looking for a President who speaks really really well, let’s see if Bob Barker is available. Better yet, Katie Couric.
#49 Gladz……..In the school system that would be the same subtle racism . Just dummy down the test instead of teaching the people .
Yup. His “gaffes” are the problem. What a dope, right? Pointing out things like this will get him, right? I have an idea. How about relentlessly hammering him on his being a racist and a radical? On his absurd foreign policy “ideas”? Focusing on his “gaffes” only makes those who do look small and petty (as if none of us ever make any “gaffes”), like those who call Bush a dope and use “nukyoolar” as proof of his unworthiness. Focusing on this sh*t does nothing but create sympathy for him.
spo-con, I totally agree. You can look all over and see what has been and continues to be done to perpetuate mediocrity..and heck..misinformation e.g. the college campus!!… Some ‘get it’ and I wish they had a larger following. Oh..I need to calm down..gonna go pull some weeds..
Gladz. Todays 18 year old voters who attended public schools have been force fed liberal propaganda since kindergarten.
America is a mean bully.
Palestinians are being brutalized.
Racism is everywhere. (except for liberals they are nice)
We were attacked because we were mean to Al Qaeda.
and (drum roll please)
Global warming/cooling or some other man made calamatity is killing all the of the
a)Polar bears
b)Whales
c)caribou
d)baby seals
e)all of the above.
They have done the same thing in the music industry. Dummy it down. Where do you think Rap came from ? If thats all they’re going to feed you, you just get used to it. No hope for improvement.
If that was a joke, it was a poor one.
Maybe when he goes to Iran to visit his buddy Ahmadinejad and gets the opportunity to address the Iranian people he will say…..”Hello, its great to be in Iraq.”
Its OK Brack, Hissy Matthews and the rest of the worshipers have no concern with your gaffes, only those of Republicans. But you might want to take a teleprompter with you when you go to the Middle East, Russia, China, or West Virginia/Kentucky LOL.
President Bush is a better speaker than Obama because he doesn’t use the incessant “you know” inserted every 4 or 5 words when he speaks, which is a generational thing.
Sorry, but to me, when a person speaks publicly, saying “you know” constantly demonstrates VERY POOR language skills and Obama is guilty of that.
President Bush may not be the best speaker in the world, but at least he doesn’t use that ubiquitous filler that my generation is guilty of using.
Also, from watching debates over the years, Obama is NOT as quick off the cuff as President Bush is. For all his malapropisms and mispronunciations, President Bush can answer questions with CONTENT better than Obama can. Obama is so entrenched in the leftwing marxist worldview, that he is often ill equipped to answer difficult questions because his ideology fails to sufficiently address those issues.
Obama is a Jimmy Carter in the making, isn’t he?
Sunshine/Sunrise, 57 states/50 states; what’s the problem? He’s the candidate for CHANGE! So submit what you want changed and presto…..Change!
atheling, dont forget all the er’s and uh’s…. the guy’s a tool.
Obama is looking more and more like a man of rather ordinary intelligence and an overblown educational resume far, far outside his depth. A fool can hide forever in the Senate – witness Kennedy et al, but a Presidential campaign is too much of a magnifying glass to get away with so much.
Anecdotally speaking, I’ve heard many people say that Bush actually speaks much better off the cuff than he does reading a prepared speech, with few of the mispronunciations and malaprops he’s known for. Quite the opposite of “Dumbo”.
Indeed. When President Bush was campaigning for his first term, a (liberal) college student was assigned to follow him around on the campaign trail for a class project. She admitted that she was a Democrat, but did a pretty good job in asking him questions and filming him – especially when they were on the bus traveling around the country. On that film, (which was shown on PBS once and then quickly yanked), we saw a George Bush who was quick, witty, high spirited and jovial. As an introduction to her questioning him about environemental issues, she asked: “If you could be a tree, what kind would you be?” and he shot back instantly, “I’m a Bush, not a tree!” She burst out laughing.
She later commented on how much fun she had with this assignment and how she grew to like this man personally.
I think that her film revealed the true George Bush in full form, but of course since it didn’t align with the media’s agenda, it was never shown again.
Ha! then what does that make Harry Reid?
#61……Thats what Affirmative Action (inaction) gets you. All paper, no substance.
More distractions, Michelle? C’mon. This isn’t helping Michelle Obama’s kids.
Or…Hello Mr Ahmediniziad, would you like to taste this $100 @ lb. ham.
Yum yum want some???
We must vote for Obama to prove we aren’t racists. He is our only chance.
He isn’t qualified and quite clearly he isn’t very smart. But we need to vote for him to save the planet from racism and global warming and polar bear exterrmination and so we can make France like us and so Michelle’s kids cn afford dance lessons. And such.
Are we really discussing who’s a better speaker? Really. Because the whole Obamessiah has to do with his ability to speak, and before all this attacks were on his resume with regards to substance, so now we’re really sitting here debating who a better speaker is?
Barack Obama, in the words of his favorite artist, “I sell ice in the winter, I sell fire in hell / I am a hustler baby, I sell water to a whale.”
Yea. He could.
To an idiot.
And when you consider that for a lawyer, their tools of the trade are their words, you really do have to wonder about both of the Obamas.
Are there any precedent setting (or otherwise) cases that they have defended that one could review?
Silky, I’m amazed at the idiots in this nation that cannot see the con that is being foisted upon them.
Obama makes Carter look good. Who would have thought such a thing possible?
But all humor aside and yes, keep it coming, come early November the laughter is going to stop. This 46 year-old who acts and thinks like he’s 23, will be in charge and every leftist-statist, along with a good number of RINOs, will be rushing to get a piece of the action. Let’s face it: if a DVD were to surface showing Obama and Wright together burning an orphanage, I doubt it would have the slightest impact on his crazed followers. They would simply say it happened a long time ago, he was young and impressionable, so why bring it up at all — unless you’re a racist. Are you?
So the disaster is going to happen. McCain has made that a certainty. The good news is that the disaster will fall on them. They’re going to say it was all Bush’s fault (somehow, someway) but the country won’t buy it. Of course, we’ll have other things to worry about around then. See America in Ashes by Christopher S. Carson, currently featured in frontpagemag.com.
Yeah we’re screwed. Beyond your wildest dreams.

Here’s something that shows some of his ideology

When? In 1999-2000, GWB’s speaking abilities, both teleprompter and debate, were noticeably better then VP AlGore’s robotic and huffy deliveries. (AlGore has ironically improved since.)
From 2001-2004, GWB’s teleprompter skills were noticably diminished, but still received kudos for his off the cuff ability to reach an audience.
From 2004-present, GWB can’t seem to say anything clearly, and quite often, the frustration in his own voice tells me that he realizes this fact.
GWB aside, when Obama reads from a teleprompter, he speaks like he is carefully reading every word, trying to sound like JFK, instead of just speaking normally. I personally find this style annoying.
When Obama speaks off the cuff, his pregnant pauses, ummms, ahhhs, and fumbling for words are simply unbearable. It gives the impression (rightly or wrongly) that he is unprepared for speaking in detail.
Obama’s ability to handle questioning today is far inferior to GWB’s abilities in 1999-2000.

Was this student Nancy Pelosi’s daughter? Or was her documentary a separate project?
I travel a great deal and sometimes can’t recall where I was the day or week before. I’m the same age as Obama, so in my case its not cobwebs, probably just tedium. I do get the “where am I now” question correct 100% of the time.
If he were as smart as the MSM would like us to believe he might try a coping strategy, like using masking tape and a sharpie to label his side of the podium with the city and state he’s in. Heck, it works for rockstars.
/sarc off
Well, at least as President he won’t be making so many gaffes. All he’ll be able to say is “Okay, Congress” and “duh”. Add those two to President Hillary, adding, “Whatever you say, Bill.”
POTUS:
I rather ums and ahs instead of saying something that doesn’t make sense or should be kept to one’s self. You know the old saying, think before you speak.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
Mark Twain
His minions don’t care what he says, and the press is either for him or afraid of him, so he can say stupid things all day long and never get called on it. What’s really bad is he’s probably our next President.
Everybody repeat after me: President Obama, President Obama, President Obama…… See, that wasn’t so bad….NOT!
Silky said;
Silky that is about as stupid a comment as I’ve read here.
You’d rather have umms and uhhs from an idiot than what???
Obama doesn’t have a clue. He is a follower not a leader. Wright? I mean Right?
Did someone call corona cause that right there is redundant!
File it under “he meant to say 47″. He meant to say sunshine state. Of course, I am sitting on acre upon acre of swamp land for the person who buys that. Takers?
There are a lot of us who noticed this from day one. At least GWB has sensible answers to questions posed at him. Obambi, notwithstanding all the glowing praises by the media, offers baffling, incoherent phrases.
He can orate, perhaps from memorized, carefully crafted speeches. But he has proven he could not think on his toes and respond to questions thrown at random!
No doubt he is not the man for the job.
I think he’ll be elected though. Which will pave the way for a strong conservative in 2012 possibly.
I’m praying that our country as a whole has not become what our cities have become.
Infected crap holes of liberal tax and spend socialists.
Throwing money at every loser that has a handout and expecting nothing in return.
Obama promises nothing but defense cuts and hand outs. WITH YOUR MONEY.
One can only hope – copyright The Bamboozler 2008-2012 – he will most certainly not be elected.
Half On/OffTopic: Today my wife and I were coming back on the Metro (D.C.’s subway system) from a bike ride to Mount Vernon (cool vintage/period clothing today!), and this woman “chats us up.” Ends up she was hyping a protest planned on May 31 against the DNC Rules Committee, “Every Vote Matters! Seat MI and FL delegations in full.”
If only Democrats would learn – but then again, they wouldn’t be Democrats otherwise – that their ever-further-to-the-left contempt for the American public…and the American republic…is becoming sooooooooooo obvious to ever more Americans.
Have a beautiful Memorial Day, everyone.
No doubt walking on Sunrise — and tripping on a controlled substance.
Forget the medical records — can we get regular drug testing on this guy?
Sunshine must be a town in one of the other 56 states….
What a useless tool..
Who are we kidding? Dan Quayle’s head is a bloody stump by now and his fingers worn to the bone after watching Obama and the free ride he’s getting.
Just part of what makes a free press in these 57 states so rewarding.
Actually, Obambi is a McGovern clone, version 2.0.
