Watch Obama at a campaign event yesterday, September 6, 2008, in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Obama:"People ask me what are your impressions of America? What have you learned since being president? uh uh no no! Since being a candidate for president."

[nickcarraway]

Get out of Sarah’s House!

[DooDahhhh]

Bambi is an idiot! What a stupid thing to say. You would have thought he would have learned not to do this after his Germany charade.

I watched this yesterday. I don’t see this as a gaffe. He meant to say it to arouse the audience.

That wasn't a mistake, that was deliberate.

Obama's campaign is attempting to 'normalize' the words "Obama" and "President" in the same sentence. It's a way to make voters more comfortable with the prospect.

Look at some of his newer commercials, they end with:
'Barack Obama. President' (Not: Barack Obama FOR President).
Watch for similar 'gaffes' in the future by either him, his campaign or on commericals and realize it's no different than "Head On, Apply directly to the forehead"

Everything the Obama campaign has done is based on the premise that Obama doesn’t measure up as a Presidential candidate. They’ve constantly tried to make him look “Presidential”.

See, this is what McCain needs to do: just focus on a few main points and let Obama self-destruct. If you think about it, aside from his speech, his BEST poll numbers came when he was on vacation in Hawaii. He can read a teleprompter, but off script, this guy is an unguided missile.

[NoGrayZone]

I suppose that remark was just as much as a gaffe as was his presidential seal. Oops, I didn’t mean that!

[getarope]

This would be like the New England Patriots preengraving the Lombardi Trophy last season and we know what happened!

He has convinced himself he is already president. LOL That is dangerous.

Obama: "People Ask Me What Have You Learned Since Being President"

Ah...Was going to say.. did I pull a Rip Van Winkle?

[fight_truth_decay]

...those telepromptors we have learned sure have a mind of their own.

Reminds me of a Will and Grace episode where Will is hiding in the men's room of a clothing store feeding lines to Jack, a clerk, via headset who is trying to pick up a Sports writer played by Greys Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey. But Will winds up with the date!! Well, it did remind me of that! so what!

You can't even make up good funny material like this.

Mirror, Mirror on the wall..

So many gaffes, so little time to enjoy them until the next one is revealed.

This guy should not be allowed to wander the streets without a minder.
