Number 1 through 10...

  

"Watch me pull a rabbit out of my... oh, hello America!!"

1. "The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries." - Tampa, Fla., Jan. 28, 2010 You can say that again!!
2. "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine, right? It's the Post Office that's always having problems." –Attempting to make the case for government-run healthcare. And failing. Portsmouth, N.H., Aug. 11, 2009
3. "The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system." - Obama after a health care roundtable with physicians, nurses and health care providers. Washington, D.C., July 20, 2009
4. "It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of - I don't know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing." - Obama searching for a word in a language that does not exist. Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009
5. "No, no. I have been practicing... I bowled a 129. It's like - it was like Special Olympics, or something." - Obama being a tad insensitive during an appearance on the Tonight Show. March 19, 2009. Yes, the laughter dies down almost immediately.
6. "What I was suggesting - you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." - in an interview with George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama. You know, you have to save the guy a LITTLE embarrassment, right?
7. "Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain... administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." - Obama in Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008. No doubt making them all VERRRY nervous. This is our first two-fer, but not our last...
8. "Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee - which is my committee - a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon." - Obama referring to a committee that HE WAS NEVER ON!! Sderot, Israel, July 23, 2008
9. "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." - Obama campaigning in Las Cruces, NM May 26, 2008. Maybe he was just trying to channel this kid...
10. "I've now been in 57 states - I think one left to go." - at a campaign stop in Beaverton, Oregon in 2008. Ok, so he meant to say "stops" maybe, but still. If Palin or Bachmann had said this, their careers would be over!!

That's all for today. What does this list tell us? Not much. These ones were pretty well known. But if anything, this list shows us a leader who is not as versed in public speaking as people like to say he is. What you notice from the videos is how unaware he is that he's even made a mistake. More tomorrow!!
