This is the kind of stuff Bush was skewered for daily….with Obama? Crickets: (h/t Hot Air)
Obama: 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 — and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.
Austrian?
Sheesh…..glad we got rid of that guy who screws up the english language so badly.

Curt,
I’m just grateful we finally have a “peeance, freeance” Iraq.
G’day, herr Obama. Care to throw another CEO on the barbie?
Curt,
If you’re going to include the text of Obama’s speech, you need to include all the parsing for maximum effect:
Obama: uhb, It was also interesting to see that, uhb, political interaction in Europe, is, not that different from the United States Senate. There’s a lot of, (crickets), uh, — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing — and, you know, people are, uhp, pursuing their interests, and, uh, uh, …
See? Doesn’t it look just the way it sounds?

Was the teleprompter broken again?
Obama is SUCH an embarrassment!
The telepromter is actually HAL 9000.
Bush was skewered daily because he gaffed daily. Obama only gaffes every other day. That’s a 50% improvement.
fit, bush didn’t gaffe daily, he did maybe once a week. there was so much hope on the left that they would twist things to make it appear he had. the media would take his quotes out of context and run a mile when it should never have gone 2 inches. obama on the othr hand is almost as bad as biden, yes they screw up differently but the result is still the same. my profession is considered uneduacted, some of us are, but most have a better grasp on reality than wither obama or biden.
@Fit fit:
The straws are in the kitchen drawer on the left.
Feel free to grab as many as you need.
I actually thought Fit Fit’s comment was funny.
Fitfit’s comment might have been funny – if it were true – but there’s no real way to know.
The truth is that these are are human beings, incapable of constant perfection. Many of us in the middle and even some on the right laughed along with the left at Bush’s verbal stumbles. For some reason, now that the liberals’ President is the butt of the jokes, they’re crying “No fair!”
My advice to those who find offense in the same behavior they practiced during Bush Jr.’s presidency is simply this:
Lighten up, take it like a man, and move on!
Besides, criticism of the President is supposed to be patriotic, right?

Jeff,
That’s a big “Roger” on your last comment.
Amazing. We now have a President who is the most eloquently spoken right after a complete moron of a cowboy and there are those who insist it isn’t so. Forest for the trees?
@liberaldude:
You mean this guy?
Or maybe you mean this guy?
Perhaps this one?
Maybe this one?
Yeah.
Thanks for playing though.
“We now have a President who is the most eloquently spoken right after a complete moron of a cowboy and there are those who insist it isn’t so. Forest for the trees?”
We now have a stuttering dolt in office, who has the ability to read a teleprompter about as well as a medium market newscaster. When off ‘prompter, he exhibits all the intellect of a lobotomized yak. Delusional to the point of psychosis much?
@ Aye – Brilliant!
Don’t expect liberaldude to admit he was wrong. He prefers to make drive-by comments and disappear. Don’t expect him to learn anything.

You must have never heard President Obama speaks. He is intelligent, articulate, and is a man of great integrity. His virtues for the american people and the principles of duty that he holds is one that president Bush lacked and never had. You don’t know what you’re talking about. I also think that the reason why he stumbled over his words and didn’t know what the hell he was talking about most of the time is because he was lying. It’s easy to talk when you are honest. That man lied!!!!
Or how about:

@liberaldude:
Oh yes, I have heard him. At great length. Every minute was excrutiatingly painful.
The pertinent question here is, have YOU heard Obama speak.
Now that right there ladies and gentlemen is some funny stuff.
Obama articulation is only as good as his TelePromTer allows it to be. When he gets the slightest bit off script hilarity ensues.
A man of great integrity?
Really now?
No, not so much.
Would you like for me to list all of the lies that he has been caught in to date?
Would you care for a list of broken campaign promises and outright falsehoods he has engaged in just since the election?
Barack Obama is a charlatan and a liar. Anyone with half the brains of a goose can see that.
You’re right. See the videos I provided in post #13.
Thank you liberaldude for providing us with another stellar example of concentrated stupid.
@Aye
So what are your view’s on Dubya speaking ability?
Yep liberaldude, he’s a genius.
“In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
“Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
“Well let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s.”
“Israel is an ally of ours. It is the most important ally we have in the region, and there is no doubt that we would act forcefully and appropriately on any attack against Iran nuclear or otherwise.”
“I would immediately call the president of Mexico, the president of Canada…”
“[W]e are one vote away — we are one signature away or 16 votes away from ending this war. One signature away. Now, if the president is not going to sign the bill that has been sent to him, then what we have to do is gather up 16 votes in order to override his veto.”
“My father served in World War II, and when he came home, he got the services that he needed.”
“I had an uncle who was one of the — who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps…”
“On this Memorial as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience here today.”
Even when Obama has a slip of the tongue he still sounds like a genius compared to the dolt before him.
liberaldude – “Even when Obama has a slip of the tongue he still sounds like a genius compared to the dolt before him.”
If you say so. But just because he’s looking down his nose at us when he speaks, doesn’t mean he’s more intelligent, just means he’s more pompous. mmm-k.

“We now have a stuttering dolt in office, who has the ability to read a teleprompter about as well as a medium market newscaster. When off ‘prompter, he exhibits all the intellect of a lobotomized yak.”
Now you’ve gone to far! That was totally unfair to post leucotomy yaks!!!
