Geez… you guys act like the press is pounding on Obama with negatives, when they help excuse his every failing.

Of coure BHO would get more press for a similar gaffe. He gets more press when he merely passes gas, fer heavens sake…. JSM is pretty much an “also ran” in the media’s eyes.

I agree with Doug that Obama would get a lot more heat for a gaffe like that. Instead, it’s just one more clip to add to the gaffe montage.

The real question is, why is this Obama’s first time overseas? It’s not because he cares. It’s because it’s election season. If people can’t see through this shallow attempt at legitimacy, then I feel for those people. They are dumber than a box of hair.

I dunno, Doug. I doubt JSM has a geographical problem, but more a slip of the tongue, as BHO did with the 57 states, or his US states border and Mitt influence. Then there was both Mitt and Chappaquiddick Ted calling Obama “Osama” by accident. These gaffes on either side don’t bother me.

Gaffes that do bother me are things such as BHO’s cowboy policy on Pakistan, his plans via his speech about Jerusalem, etc. These are far more serious.

That said, I’ll still take JSM on 5 hours of sleep than BHO on the same. Even wide-eyed and bushy-tailed, he’s still naive.

All know if Obama had said this, the right wing bulldozers would have started up and a pile on would have commenced. But this is a good’n:

This is probably what happens when you have live on 5 hours of sleep a day. Me, personally, I wonder how he’s going to keep up after the convention when you sprint to the finish line.

(Someone had to say it; so there I did it!)

Reagan said that the Soviet Union could and should be defeated. The Democrat/Left said it couldn’t be done and ran interference.

Reagan said that lowering taxes would stimulate economic growth and increase government revenues. The Democrat /Left said it couldn’t be done and ran interference.

Reagan, Bush I and Bush II said the U.S. could and should build a missile defense system. The Democrat/Left said it couldn’t be done and ran interference.

Bush I said the U.S. could and should push Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. The Democrat/Left said it couldn’t be done and ran interference.

Bush II said the U.S. could and should topple the Taliban in Afghanistan. The Democrat /Left said it couldn’t be done and tried to run interference (does anyone remember the “harsh Afghan winter”?).

Bush II said the U.S. should topple Saddam Hussein. The Democrat /Left voted for it but then said it couldn’t be done and ran interference.

Bush II said the U.S. should defeat Al Qaeda in Iraq. The Democrat/Left said it couldn’t be done and ran interference.

Bush II said that fighting and defeating Al Qaeda on their own ground would lead to a safer world, fewer terrorist attacks and a drop in support for Al Qaeda in the Islamic world. The Democrat /Left said it couldn’t be done and ran interference.

Bush II said lowering taxes would stimulate the economy and raise government revenues. The Democrat /Left said it couldn’t be done and ran interference.

So, explain…just how exactly is the Democrat /Left the party of “Change”.

I think McCain’s (who I don’t like one little bit) stock will increase “if’ the Lame Stream Media printed the truth on gas prices. Not only have the democrats refused to help lower prices they are actually ‘planning a 10cent per gallon increase in taxes’. Way to help the working man. No matter how much they study wind, solar, and nuclear energy the fact remains, Americans own millions of vehicles which require gas/diesel to operate and there will be no subsitute for that for years. Do they plan to give every American a new efficient non poluting vehicle or take us back to horse and buggy. I can see millions of people actually starving to death on the democrat energy plan. Think food is high now, wait until fuel prices make it impossible for the farmers to work the fields. You’ll be trying to ‘outbid’ someone for a loaf of bread.

I’m practicing for the future, for supper tonight we had food from the garden and nature (Venison, cantelope, tomatos, cucumbers, onions and cold slaw.). Not a thing from the store other than salt, pepper and a little mayo. Salt, a requirement for life is not a problem for us. There are dozens of abandoned salt mines in the area.

Our brainwashing MSM? They’re following him around on his world tour, that right there is enough evidence to prove how biased it is here.

This article caught my attention. I think it’s a study worth reading:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/15/us/politics/15cnd-poll.html?hp

Now, as I’m reading this, I’m wondering just how many of these people are casting their votes toward a candidate because of the real issues such as the one MataH. touches up on, like the economy, Iraq, and domestic policies, rather than just race or any other petty reason. Few examples:

“The poll found that Mr. McCain is yoked to the legacy of President Bush — majorities believe that Mr. McCain, as president, would continue Mr. Bush’s policies in Iraq and on the economy. Mr. Bush’s approval rating on the economy is as low as it has been in his presidency, 20 percent; and even while there has been an increase in the number of Americans who think the war is going well, there has been no change in the significantly large number of people who think it was a mistake have invaded.”

You tell me how many of those people research the truth and don’t believe what’s fed to them by the MSM. I wonder how large a percentage that number of people is.

Also, I found this little piece particularly humorous (not because of race, but because of what was reported, for those who would be eager to peg me as a wingnut racist):

“Black voters were far more likely than whites to say that Mr. Obama cares about the needs and problems of people like them, and more likely to describe him as patriotic. Whites were more likely than blacks to say that Mr. Obama says what he thinks people want to hear, rather than what he truly believes.”

BINGO!
