The Obama gaffe machine rolls on

(Make your own Logobama!)

The gaffes just keep on coming. Via Jim Hoft and Power Line comes the latest in a long line of Obama-isms which, as I noted last week, will get a pass from the MSM:

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.

Here’s the vid:

No wonder his supporters attribute Messiah-like powers to their candidate. He sees dead people.

New campaign theme song for Obama, via Britney Spears:

***

Update: And again!

In one of his more egregious and easily demonstrated lies, made even more so by the day he decided to let it loose on, Obama has rewritten WWII history such that the allies liberated Auschwitz.

…Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz…

Auschwitz of course is in Poland. It was liberated by the Red Army on Jan 27 1945. Poland, on most maps is usually placed to the east of Germany, although we may need to investigate the geography textbooks the Messiah used as a child…

More from See-Dubya: “I think the Obamessiah just out Tuzla’d Hillary. The man is…nefarious.”

***

On Saturday: How’s it going, Sunshine?

***

Update: The video and all the latest twists and turns in the Auschwitz gaffe from Allah, who concludes: “Sloppy, but not nefarious a la Tuzla.”

Update: He meant Ohrdruf.

    Can someone please tell me how this guy got to be the front-runner of the Democratic party? Seriously.

    Hillary Clinton’s no gem (neither is McCain), Clinton’s a liar to the bone, but isn’t there anyone in the vast left wing that doesn’t regularly step in it as often as these two? Or is it because they are some of the more notorious left-wingers of the party and that’s the direction the Democrats want to move (to the left of Stalin, Castro, and Mao, that is)…

    My aunt is going to vote for Obama because he’s “articulate”. :roll:

    He seems to be a rather erratic extemporaneous speaker, but that’s not a crime.

    This particular gaffe, however, does allow another peek into his integrity. Does he believe what he says? Either he’s knowingly lying, or deluded, which from a troll’s POV makes him no better than Bush. Same issue as Clinton’s Tuzla remarks and the MSM will ignore this as long as they can, but I don’t think this one is going away either.

    There are only two choices:
    1) - it’s true, meaning he has a Russian heritage we’ve never heard about (nothing wrong with that, BTW)
    2) - it’s not, in which case he’s either a liar or a fool.

    At my grandaughter’s birthday party yesterday, one of the planned events was running behind. My daughter-in-law ran a WB “short” on the television. Because I was tasked I missed most of, except the re-occurring statement: “An elephant’s faithful 100%” — As I passed through the room, the elephant sat hang-dog in the top of a palm tree. (Sorry, I don’t know the elephant’s name…)

    With the long face & life-sized ears, I had to do a double-take: I thought someone had turned the television on to an Obama speech… ;-}

    Would it be a stretch to say Obamites and the MSM are poorly informed even though many are of the educated elite and might have attended food throwing techniques rather than history class. Another understanding bridge used by the SubCulture is Obama was quoted out of context. Context being in the eye of the beholder. It’s all good for the Obamites for it is not the truth that matters but the sound of a truth than could have been. We have much to look forward to with such a man as our leader to inspire us to what we have been.

    Option 1) is out as Obama said the American brigade his uncle served in. Unless old Uncle Vlad served in that previously unknown American brigade which secretly served with the Red Army.

    Now there is a great story! Or did he just misspeak, like Hillary did about her excellent Bosnian adventure? This is rather Clintonesque.

    ENGLISHQUEEN01, here’s why I think Barack Hussein Obama is the front runner: #1, he’s black, (in color only)but unlike Jesse and Al, he hasn’t been running around the nation personally putting white people down,except for Penn; therefore he doesn’t seem to be a threat to them, so they’re voting for him;#2, all of the black voters are voting for him simply because he’s black; #3 people who hate President Bush and the Republican party, but are tired of the Clintons are voting for him. They could care less with his ties to terrorists, an America bashing preacher, or how many gaffes he makes, they just want to get Bush and Hillerhead out of the picture. The voters, non voters, and write in voters who put him in office, and I’m sure he’s going in, will rue the day.
    If this post makes me a racist, so be it, but that’s my opinion why he’s the front running Democrat, and why he’ll be elected POTUS.

    1)He’s a moron and really believes his Uncles “brigage” liberated Auchwitz. Remember he has his Uncles “war trophies” to prove it.
    2)He’s a liar.

    He got a free piece of property from a corrupt fixer in Chicago.
    His wife has never been proud of America and says this country is mean. She also gripes about her hardship paying back her loans from being an affirmative action entry into college.
    Obama has NO LEGISLATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENTS and has never been in charge of anything in his life.

    Now lets count his achievements.
    He is black.
    He is black.

    His father was Kenyan - they didn’t serve in the US Army.

    Thank you brushman. That pretty much sums up what many of think of the Left anyway. Red Army, Red Brigade, Democratic Party– But Senator B Husein Obama does not need to choose between being a liar or a fool. He can be both. We call it the “Audacity of Hype” or such.

    I am enjoying this to be sure.

    I do try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Like the foment/ferment gaffe. Upon looking up use and definitions ferment was nearly “close enough” to what he meant. So I looked into the

    “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today [...]“

    gaffe, and tried to work it out in my mind. All I can figure is he looked out at the audience and saw several vets in wheelchairs and considered them “fallen heroes”.

    As I’m very far from the military life and jargon of heroism, I googled the use of the phrase “fallen heroes”. Could it ever mean those who lost a limb? Maybe, but 20 times out of 20 I found it meant those who died in battle, or in some kind of service.

    So in all fairness I must conclude that like me Obama is so far from things military he doesn’t know the use and meaning of the phrase “fallen heroes”, thinking it refers to those injured as well. That may be even more of an indictment against him than the thought he just made a “gaffe”. That his color problem is not that he’s black but that he’s so green.

    So in all fairness I must conclude that like me Obama is so far from things military he doesn’t know the use and meaning of the phrase

    One big difference though is Obama wants to be the Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces; therefore he should know what the term means.

    The only direct quote that shows a gaffe by SNOBamessiah regarding liberating WWII concentration camps was in his speech on 2002 against the Iraq War….

    “My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain.”

    Again…..history teaches us that The Red Army liberated both Auschwitz and Treblinka! This is a HUGE gaffe, especially considering SNOBamessiah uses this speech as his claim to being so smart regarding international affairs!

    Auschwitz of course is in Poland. It was liberated by the Red Army on Jan 27 1945.

    Of course it goes without saying that the media has thus far failed to call the Messiah on this apparently obviously outrageous lie. Unless Obama’s “uncle” was serving in the Red Army, its a pretty safe bet he was many hundreds of miles from Auschwitz on its day of liberation.

    Well if his uncle was in the Red Army it would explain a lot about Obama’s policies ;)

    “In World War Two we didn’t have the concept of post traumatic stress syndrome. People had to basically handle it on their own,” he said. Referring to an uncle who had been one of the first U.S. troops into Auschwitz, the concentration camp, Obama said: “The story in the family is he came home and just went up in the attic.”

    Maybe Uncle Joe was up there crooning the Soviet National Anthem to baby Barry, as the Messiah lay in his manger. Ah, what memories must that have aroused when the Decembrists opened Barry’s Portland political address with that stirring song [last fact completely unconfirmed].

    I’ve given this some thought and have now decided we are being too harsh on Obama. After all the following are indisputably true:

    1. Obama had an uncle
    2. Patton had an army
    3. Auschwitz was liberated by an army

    So he really got most of the story right, which for a liberal is pretty good. In contrast, Clinton would have claimed she and Bill personally headed the army that liberated all of Europe from the the dark clutches of the Republicans, and would have received a standing ovation for revealing this astonishing, little known tidbit.

    And let’s not forget how and when his parents met.

    CBS has now changed the story on their website and I wasn’t able to get a screen shot of the original, but they have now changed uncle to grandfather.

    The way I read it, the CBS article seems to reference that Obama claims a grandfather in Patton’s Army, a grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line AND an uncle who helped liberate Auschwitz.

    From the CBS article, 4th paragraph:

    Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz. He said the family legend is that, upon returning from war, his uncle spent six months in an attic. “Now obviously, something had really affected him deeply, but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” Obama said. “That’s why this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post-traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need – that’s why it’s so important.”

    I think it’s now fair to ask more about this uncle: how, as a US soldier, he was able to be near Auschwitz during its liberation by the Russian Army, and why he spent six months in an attic because of what he supposedly saw.

    On its face, this appears to be an Obama fabrication of AlGorian depth, intended to score a political point, that President Bush isn’t doing enough for Veterans’ issues like PTSD and other mental health issues.

    And let’s not forget that Obama was trying to score this political point on Memorial Day.

    It appears to me that Obama told this “uncle in the attic” story on Memorial Day in attempts to tie President Bush to the notion of a lack of funding for Veterans issues.

    Regardless, Obama now needs to clear up the details of his story:

    1. Did his maternal grandfather, paternal grandfather or his uncle help liberate a concentration camp during WW II?
    2. Which concentration camp was it? Because it wasn’t Auschwitz.
    3. If his uncle didn’t help liberate Auschwitz, why did he say he did, and then why did this same uncle spend six months in an attic if he wasn’t near the horror of Auschwitz?
    4. Why was he campaigning on Memorial Day, complete with an Obama dot com banner on his podium?
    5. Why was he trying to score political points on Memorial Day?

    I used to consider Mr. Hopenchange to be a prime example of what Reagan called, “High-IQ dimwits.” But I’m coming to question the “High-IQ” part. Having been through law school, I seriously have to question how this guy made it through Harvard Law. The stink of Affirmative Action/racial quotas/race-based favoritism in that regard is becoming overpowering.

    Back in the 9th grade, one of the two blacks in my middle school ran for student body president and won in a landslide — despite repeatedly proving beforehand that he had the intellectual candlepower of a black hole. It was pure popularity-contest election by acclamation, what you’d expect of a bunch of 14-15 year olds.

    And yet today, the donkeys want to do the same thing — only with the US presidency. In support of the proposition that liberals are afflicted with a malign form of Arrested Adolescence, I offer their brain-dead worship of Hopenchange as Exhibit “A” and rest my case. Q.E.D.

    How has it come to pass that Dan Quayle (elected to Congress in 1976, re-elected in 1978, elected to Senate in 1980, re-elected in 1986) was questioned about his “lack of experience” for the vice presidency, while Hopenchange (less than one term in the Senate) isn’t questioned about his lack of qualification for the #1 spot?

    How is it that Quayle’s mis-spelling of “potato” made him an idiot, while Hopenchange’s confusion of the number of states in the Union with a steak sauce made by Heinz doesn’t?

    Isn’t it ironic that an “inexperienced idiot” like Quayle would seem positively Churchillian in seasoning and qualifications if he were to run against The New Messiah today?

    If the donkeys have their way in November, it’s going to be Waldo Middle School all over again. They don’t want a leader; they want a “Rock Star.” They don’t give a damn about qualifications; they want to “feel the buzz.”

    And if we sit on our hands, they’ll get what they want.
