Is obama ever confronted regarding his many gaffs?

[Red Badger]

Yes, it’s not the me I have known..............

[Piquaboy]

That would be racist doncha know?

[Astronaut]

Never going to happen. The left wing media will cover for Hussein Obama every time. If McCain made the same type of gaffe, all hell would break loose. The only people who will call him on it are Rush, Hannity, Levin, etc... The very people the Democrats will shut down with the “Fairness Doctrine” if Hussein gets elected.

That wasn't a gaffe. Dems on the Left have always treated and wanted to treat terrorism like bank robbery. They are genetically programmed to distrust and avoid military solutions because to agree with a military solution has the potential of upsetting their entire worldview which was formed by their opposition to VietNam.

They see Nam, not as a failed policy, but as an example of the horror(in their view) of ever resorting to force in the international sphere. To foster successful military action calls that world view into question, and implies that they may have been wrong about the one central event in their lives, opposition to the war in Vietnam. They cannot ever go there.
