Look, I could put in a caption for this, but anything that you come up with is probably funnier. Go for it!!
21. “Welcome, uh, to Cinco de quatro…” – Obama welcoming everyone to “Five of Four”. For the confused, this was said on May 4th.
22. “I’m comin’, Weezy” – Obama trying to channel Fred Sanford in 2008, mixing him up with George Jefferson. You’d think this would damage his street cred. You’d be wrong.
23. “There’s something about August going into September, where everyone in Washington gets all wee-wee’d up. I don't know what it is." – Yeah, neither do we!! Obama on August 20, 2009 trying to convey… I don’t know, something.
24. “One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world: Navy Corpse-Man Christian Brossard.'' Obama in February 2010. You don’t pronounce the “ps” in Corpsman. It’s pronounced “core-man”. Ok, so this is funnier to hear than to read, but still…
25. "The Cambridge police acted stupidly." – Obama commenting on a white police officer's arrest of black scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. at his home in Cambridge, Mass., at a news conference, July 22, 2009. This after admitting that he didn’t have all the facts in the case. As shown in the previous post, having no in-depth knowledge of a topic does not seem to stop the “O”.
26. “First time I saw 10th Mountain Division, you guys were in southern Iraq. When I went back to visit Afghanistan, you guys were the first ones there. I had the great honor of seeing some of you because a comrade of yours, Jared Monti, was the first person who I was able to award the Medal of Honor to who actually came back and wasn’t receiving it posthumously.” – June 2011. Unfortunately for Obama, Monti was killed in action in 2006 and DID receive the Medal of Honor posthumously. Obama gave a very emotional and seemingly heartfelt speech about Monti in 2009 when awarding him the medal. Amazing how he had no recollection just 2 short years later.
27. In 2009, shortly after taking office, Obama was presented with a very thoughtful gift from British Prime Minister Gordon Brown; an elaborate pen carved from the HMS Gannett, among other items. The President gave the UK prime minister, the leader of the most important American ally for decades, 25 DVDs that do not even work in the UK because of formatting differences. Well thought out, smart people!!
28. Shortly after his DVD fiasco, Obama visits Buckingham palace and presents the Queen with… an iPod. Loaded with show tunes and video of her 2007 visit to America. The Queen, of course, already owns an iPod.
29 On April 22nd, 2009, Obama visited Iowa in an out-and-back journey to plant a tree and give a speech about a “new era of energy exploration in America” and to talk about global warming. This trip included two trips on Air Force one, and four on Marine One, consuming over 9,000 gallons of fuel in all. Why is this important? April 22 is EARTH DAY.
30. “Well, look, Texas has always been a pretty Republican state, you know, for historic reasons” – Obama in an interview in April of 2011. Problem is, Obama has shown to be a rather poor student of history, or he would know that Texas had voted solidly Democratic until about 1980. He later compounded his ignorance by recalling that he had lost Texas “by a few percentage points” in 2008. Yeah, like ELEVEN!!
OK, just more of the same. Obama chooses talking points over FACTS. And who can blame the guy, really. Look at where some of these links come from. You don't see much news coverage for any of this, and if there weren't video evidence, you might be hard pressed to believe that what you are reading is actually true. The Texas one is a real bear. Not only is he wrong, but he's WAY wrong!! As recently as 1965, the Texas state House had 149 Democrats and 1 Republican. Now Obama would like us all to believe that the history of this country began the day he was elected, but I think reasonable people know better. And admit it, you only heard about half of these at BEST!! Two days left to go, and some of my favorite ones are still on the way. Talk to you tomorrow!!
