Obamaisms: Dumb Quotes and Gaffes by Barack Obama "We're not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned.

It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." --making an off-hand joke during an appearance on "The Tonight Show", March 19, 2009 "I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about doing any seances." --after saying he had spoken with all the living presidents as he prepared to take office, Washington, D.C., Nov. 7, 2008 "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." -- defending his tax plan to Joe the Plumber, who argued that Obama's policy hurts small-business owners like himself, Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 12, 2008 "What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." --in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," which Obama quickly clarified "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 "Let me introduce to you the next President -- the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden." --slipping up while introducing Joe Biden at their first joint campaign rally, Springfield, Illinois, Aug. 23, 2008 "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." --referring to a committee he is not on, Sderot, Israel, July 23, 2008 "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." --Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008 "How's it going, Sunshine?" --campaigning in Sunrise, Florida "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."

These are some great quotes to go underneath the billboards two of the site's leading thinkers are running as signatures. Let's see if they catch on . . .
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
There's a difference between misspeaking, as Obama has done in the above, and being stupid and only the stupid can't tell the difference. For further illustration of my point about not being able to tell the difference please refer to both the article and the first response
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." The guy is totally lost without someone telling him what to say, do you actually think he read those from his teleprompter????? The guy is a reject....... when are you going to realize/admit that???? You notice I didn't use the word "retarded" when describing him????? I wouldn't want to insult those people by comparing him to them!!!!!

One thing I've learned from watching you folks going back to Nixon. You LOVE and LIVE FOR the politics of personal destruction. Never so more evident this past week. It must be nice for you, in your lifetime, to have never misspoke.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." Nixon????? Who's he????? A Democrat????

Try not to laugh as you recall the dwarf's claims he was once a 'conservative' when you read the 'watching you folks going back to Nixon...' Sheesh, he's as dumb as Owe-bama.
Mr President, its 72 virgins, not 72 VERSIONS.
Chuckles Boofer....maybe Oceander can explain it to you. G Gordon Liddy is not a "conservative" he's a criminal. Barry Goldwater was a conservative. Ronald Reagan was a conservative. Karl Rove is a criminal.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..."
