The Obama gaffe machine rolls on
Scroll down for updates…
(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.

he must mean fallen from his grace… but they can still be saved by Obamamessiah!
translation:
Obama: “I see dead people.”
They better keep him away from potatos.
And this moron is the front-runner for the dems!
Libs have no idea about holiday’s, customs and traditions of their own country.
Obama reminds me of the Peter Sellers character in the movie “Being There”. He was a complete idiot but everyone kept taking what he said as brilliance.
As an aside, I wonder if Michelle Obama is proud of the Phoenix landing on Mars. Actually I’m sure she thinks the money would have been better spent on dancing lessons.
Yep! Either he sees dead people or he truly is the messiah able to bring the dead back to life. He must really like the taste of those fine Italian leather penny loafers I’m sure he likes to wear.
This is not helping michelle obamas children. All hail saint obama the great!! President be thy name.
Bruce Willis and Haley Joel-Osmond were unavailable for comment.
I have a feeling the lint catcher in my dryer could do a better job than this guy.
Moron.
What an idiot!
He misspoke. He is fatigued. Maybe the arugula has gone to his head, whatever, but Dems… you’ve picked him.
I wonder if seeing dead people is good for Michelle’s children…..
Dang it! If I would have known some of my relatives were there I would have made the trip. Odopey.
I don’t know how this helps Michelle Obama’s children.
And, frankly, I don’t care.
This guy’s a fly-weight.
Although, in fairness, the “and I see…” clause may have been referring to the “heroes” part, not necessarily the “fallen heroes” part.
But even so, he still sounds like an idiot; unable to construct a sentence.
oops…sonofdy beat me to it.
I wonder if Leno or the other late-night guys will mention this????
If it was President Bush, you can bet your paycheck that it would have headlined every newscast!!
He’s a Superfly-weight.
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”.
I should send her over here.
He has a Sixth Sense.
He won’t wear a flag pin but he never forgets his shoes … otherwise the stuff coming out of his mouth would end up squishing between his toes …
I see that I am not the only one that immediately thought that it was another Haley Joel Osment moment …
Saint Obama will not only stop the war, but he will RASIE THE DEAD SOLDIERS!!! He will heal the sick and wounded and bring back the dead. All while walking on water and turning water into eco-freindly organic whine, opps, i meant wine. sort of.
O’bama makes Bush look like Shakespeare.
And the hits just keep on comin’…
He’s bucking for a spot on SNL, in case his WH bid turns toward the 57th state!
LMAO
So is the (articulating) bus is I ride to and from work. That doesn’t make it qualified to be the head of the transit authority.
i guess in keeping up with oblahma, i didnt spell Haley’s last name correctly, and I apologise for that.
Much ado about nothing….
Help me with my geography here. Is their an Oregon Mountain Range in New Mexico?
Just want to get my facts straight.
*there (do’h)
lol @ “He sees dead people” This made my day!
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.
BSR
Everyone slips up once in a while. . .but this is getting to be ridiculous. He’s like Dan Quayle, but 10X.
EQ,
Can you name a GOOD Dem candidate ofr POTUS?
People will vote for him. WOW, how sad our populace has become.
Care to comment about his uncle liberating Auschwitz? Did his unk serve in the Red Army?
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.
Which is it?
Reminds me of the old joke about the Democrat wanting to be buried in Louisiana “so I can remain active in politics”. Don’t think I’ve heard too many comments about the dead voting in New Mexico, but…
This guy obama has TWO minds.
One is LOST, and the other..
…
is out looking for it.
This reminds me of the 100 Greatest Hits CD’s you can purchase from an infomercial for $9.99. “Obama’s Greatest Gaffes a Cheap CD from a Cheap Politician.”
And if you act now will throw in the bonus CD from Michelle Obama and Reverend Write titled “We Really Despise You, Whites and America.”
I bet it would outsell his new book “How the Obama’s Single Handedly Liberated Auschwitz and
ItalyFrance Too”Obviously, it is a transcription error. See corrections following:
There, corrected!

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.
Just more commie ties for Obama.
I assume these are the dead soldiers that vote Democrat for the Chicago/Cook County political machine?
No doubt it was dead WW1, WW2 and Korea vets who put JFK over the top in Illinois in 1960…
They bombed the Sears Tower too?
“I see dead people” Give the guy a break. It is very common for dead people to vote in Illinois. In Chicago they vote 2 or 3 times.
Come on ya’ll. He’s not raising people from the dead! He was talking to at a cope pink rally.
Is it me, or was that speech the most uninspired, flat, and unemotional piece of tripe? For such a mesmerizing orator, he could of phoned that one in. It sounded to me like he’s just wanting to get the darn thing over and get out of there.
Maybe it was because he was speaking to a bunch of Vets, instead of “enlightened intellectuals.”
I actually like this speech better…
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.
jsr – thanks for the correction. Independent Tom, I withdraw option 1, which further defines our two choices:
1) – he’s a liar
2) – he’s a fool
Again, which is it?
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.
Is he talking about his Crazy Uncle Jeremiah?
Let’s examine the Auchwitz comment.
There are only 2 possibilities.
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.
Both.
If he does not understand history, he is bound to repeat it. Putting this country in peril. Shame on MSM for picking and choosing which candidates get a pass on gaffes.
Let’s review Obama.
He is friends with 2 terrorists. Yes morons they actually set off bombs.
His “spiritual advisor” is a raving lunatic racist.
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.
He was head of Harvard Lae Review.
He is black.
The MSM loves him……..because he is black.
According to http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/chi-0703270151mar27,0,5157609.story Obama’s mother was an only child who didn’t graduate high school until 1960, well past the age of participation in WWII.
His father was Kenyan – they didn’t serve in the US Army.
So, which uncle was it?
In this case it might really help Michelle’s kids to know they have a long lost relative somewhere…..
Or is that potatoEs? Is it spelled the same in all 57 + states?
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.
Great movie. Right up there with “Network.”
Remember, if we elect him as president, we’ll have unity, hope and change… “in the garden.”
Imagine McCain had said his Uncle’s “brigade” had helped liberate Auchswitz. Do you think it would be news?
Yes it would.
And if McCain had seen “fallen heroes”?
Talk to me libs!!
da da da da da da da da, da da da da da da da da da – Gaffe-Man!
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
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.
This kind of reminds me of that old riddle…
A plane crashes on the border of Canada and the United State. Where do you bury the survivors?
I’ll bet Obama would get that one reversed too.
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.
Just thought you would like to know.
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.
I knew this election would be amusing. Watching 2 pathological liars have at it all the way to the convention, is exactly what the dems deserve!
I agree with Henryinga #47. Its just the same as the ABB (anybody but Bush) back when Kerry was running. They don’t care WHO it is, just so long as it isn’t a Republican ! And Juan McCain AIN’T Rebublican by the way!
See, this is what really bothers me about him.
Don’t like History? Just change it to make it how you would have liked it to be.
For the first time in my adult life, I won’t be proud of my country if this clown gets elected in November.
spo-con, there are 2 things at work here.
One, naive light-weight elitists, who are turgid in their delight at a black man becoming President. College students, mindless bueaucrats, teachers, etc. They are in love with “concepts” not reality.
Two, liberals don’t care about the candidate, it’s the agenda. They are against business, they are against anyone who has more than they do, and they are for more government, and more entitlements.
Anyone who promised more government gets their vote. As long as they are liberal/Democrat.
This man is the best the dems have got?!
A nefarious man to say the least.
M. Night Shalaman (Spelling) must have wrote that speech for him…
Bush has nothing on Obama.
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!
Come on MSM!…..COVER THESE GAFFES JUST LIKE YOU DID DAN’S “POTATOE!”
Well if his uncle was in the Red Army it would explain a lot about Obama’s policies
Well, why should he be different from any other lib?
Is it just me or does it look to anyone else that Obama was going for the oasis affect with his logo? Perhaps it is his subliminal message to the Middle Eastern tyrants, “Let’s link up at one of your traditional meeting places and talk.”
Whatever it is supposed to mean, the washed out red and blue colors are insulting to both our flag and intelligence. If he is going to be a phony patriot, he ought to at least get the colors right.
CBS = Concealing Barack’s Stupidity?
Just a couple more gaffes from his speech at Weslyan University (not, as he called it “Wellsleyan”) (from the womans college in Massachusetts.
And his encouragement of the young skulls full of mush to eschew “the money culture” (It seems Obama has already got his) and work in “collectivist” endevours. Kudos to my other girlfriend Laura Ingraham for those obamanations.
The man is at best a socialist, and at worst, a communist. Either way…he can’t possibly win.
Keep talking Barry and digging your hole deeper. Even Hillary looks moderate when compared to you and your bitter half, Michelle, my belle.
I just checked the CBS site…Yep, its changed. The Washington Post still mentions it though….
“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.”
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/05/26/obama_speaks_with_deep_humilit.html
What a joke….Like he screwed up in his famed anti-war speech in 2002….These camps were liberated by the RED ARMY!
Pinochobama
And just “who” is Barry NMN Obama’s “uncle”? Why, it must be Uncle Joe! That was Stalin’s nickname, as I recall.
So, Barry had a crazy old uncle who hid in the attic? Doesn’t everybody?
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.
Can you imagine the outcry and ridicule had President Bush made these comments?
Uncle or Grandfather – what difference would it make? Did his Grandfather serve in the Red Army?
As to the ‘fallen’ who he sees many of in the audience. This is a scripted speech, that he had to look at every two seconds. He’s not speaking off the cuff.
And let’s not forget how and when his parents met.
What is it about Dems and making up stories about their past. B. Hussein with his parents meeting, Hillary claiming to be named after Sir Edmund Hillary even though his famous climb didn’t happen unti years after she was born. Tuzla… well, we could write for hours on Hillary’s lies.
And let’s not forget Gore either, inventing the internet and having ‘Love Story’ written about he and Tipper. LOL
Bush may have poor speaking skills, but these folks are just pathological liars!
We need to start referring to these Obama statements as “Bushisms”.
When the President says these, he is reviled. When Sen. Oblivious says them, the MSM seems to think they (snd he) is cute. The dichotomy of different standards needs to be rubbed in their faces.
Poland. Iraq. World War Two. Whatever.
Dead Veteran Audiences…this guy is more bizarre than even I first thought.
#58 Grunt said:
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:
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.
cee, there isn’t a newsperson working in America that could tell you where Auschwitz and Treblinka are, or who liberated them. My wild guess is 20% of them don’t know which war was involved either.
This is a Harvard grad – how embarrassing.
