"Umm, guys? I'm sorry I caved on the debt ceiling negotiations, but can I come back in now? Harry? It's really hot out here..."
41. “I’m here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis.” – speaking via satellite to the Democratic National Convention, while in Kansas City, Missouri, Aug. 25, 2008
42. “The time has changed for come” – Obama in 2008, mangling something that even the most dim-witted among us would ignore on our Teleprompter.
43. In a 2008 interview with MATT Lauer of the Today show, then-candidate Obama repeatedly refers to Lauer as “Tim.” Supposedly mistaking him for Tim Russert, but again, imagine if it were Bush, Palin, Bachmann…
44. “Thank you, Sioux City!!” – Obama at a campaign stop in Sioux FALLS, South Dakota in 2008. Sioux City is in Iowa...
45. On St. Patrick’s Day of 2009, Obama and Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen were both involved with a Teleprompter mix-up that had Cowen delivering the speech that Obama had just given, and when Obama began speaking again, he thanked HIMSELF for inviting everyone to the White House.
46. "We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal…." – Obama in his State of the Union address in 2010. What’s wrong with this picture? Well, for starters, the Constitution doesn’t say ANYTHING about us all being created equal. That is part of the Declaration of Independence. Seriously, elementary school kids know this!!
47. On a Thursday in early November 2009, Obama wanted to give a "shout-out" to "Dr. Joe Medicine Crow -- that Congressional Medal of Honor winner." For starters, the Dr. won the Congressional Medal of Freedom (which Obama presented to him). But more importantly, this light and airy tone in front of a Tribal Nations conference was taking place several hours after the Fort Hood shooting had taken place. Americans were glued to their TVs for hours, then the major networks cut to the President making light banter for a few minutes before finally talking about the tragedy.
48. “You can’t go take a trip to Las Vegas or go down to the Super Bowl on the taxpayer’s dime.” – Obama in 2009, talking about how Americans should spend their money (a familiar theme, no?). This went over REALLY well with Senate Majority leader (from Nevada of course) Harry Reid, as well as the governor of Nevada and the mayor of Vegas.
49. “You see this every day in Washington. Every day! Folks calling each other names, making all sorts of accusations on television… Everybody’s always pointing the finger at somebody else.” – Obama in front of a graduating class of high school students in Kalamazoo, MI in 2010. Yes, that was OUR president, the one who has been blaming George Bush for everything that’s wrong with the country for years now, warning kids not to get caught up in that kind of stuff. Well, we know there was at least one kid who wasn’t listening.
50. “I am not doing a press conference today” – Obama on May 17, 2010. This immediately after signing the “Freedom of Press Act”. Ummm, ok?
Well, that's it for our list folks. If there are any that I've missed, send a note or comment. Hope you all had fun, because I did!!
