OBAMAISMS
Let's look at some of the obsurd and inane things, this twit has said....

There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing." --confusing German for "Austrian," a language which does not exist, Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009

"No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. 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 (Obama later called the head of the Special Olympics to apologize)

"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 (Obama later called Nancy Reagan to apologize)

"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 (Watch video clip)

"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 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."

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?" --after being asked a foreign policy question by a reporter while visiting a diner in Pennsylvania

"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." --explaining his troubles winning over some working-class voters

"The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred in our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society."

"Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions." --exasperated by reporters after a news conference

"You're likeable enough, Hillary." --during a Democratic debate

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed." --on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people


“If they [his daughters] make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

“Thank you Sioux City” Obama said in Sioux Falls.

“My father served in World War II, and when he came home, he got the services that he needed.” (At the end of WWII, Obama’s father was 10 years old.)

Obama suggested that we need Arabic translators in Afghanistan, where they don’t speak Arabic.

“Well, Tim, first of all, it's not me who's criticized these proposals,” Obama said to Matt Lauer.

“Anybody gone into Whole Foods lately and see what they charge for arugula?...I mean, they're charging a lot of money for this stuff,” Obama said to a crowd in Iowa, where there are no Whole Foods.

“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'm running to be commander of chief on a record of standing up for our wounded warriors.”

“Our troops fight and die in 120-degree heat to give Iraq's leaders the space to agree, but they aren't filling that space.”

"If I talked to Iran, I'm going to tell them, 'You should develop a nuclear weapon...."

In a speech, he poignantly referred to his “father’s” flag-draped coffin — except that he really meant his grandfather’s, who was a WWII veteran, and not his father, who died a Kenyan.

In early May, he talked to 30 supporters and told them the story of the “modest” background of himself and his wife — 10 minutes later, he told the same story all over again to the same people.

Actually, when the Government seized the Mustang Ranch in 1990, it did not try to run it. It auctioned off all of the furnishings, then sold the property.

The IRS later filed a tax lien in 1997 and then seized the property in 1999. Again, no effort was made to run the business. I believe it simply stood idle until it was sold in 2003.

Wal-Mart has announced that sometime in late 2009 it will
begin offering customers a new discount item: Wal-Mart’s own
brand of wine.

The world’s largest retail chain is rumored to be teaming up with
Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery of California to produce the spirits at an
affordable price in the $2 to $5 range.

Wine connoisseurs may not be inclined to put a bottle of the Wal-
Mart brand into their shopping carts, but, “There is a market for
inexpensive wine,” said Kathy Micken, professor of marketing at the
University of Arkansas , Bentonville. “However, branding will be very
important.”

Customer surveys were conducted to determine the most attractive
name for the Wal-Mart wine brand. The top ten names in order of
popularity were:

10. Chateau Traileur Parc

9. White Trashfindel

8. Big Red Gulp

7. World Championship Riesling

6. NASCARbernet

5. Chef Boyardeaux

4. Peanut Noir

3. I Can’t Believe it’s not Vinegar

2. Grape Expectations

1. Nasti Spumante

The beauty of Wal-Mart wine is that it can be served with either
white meat (Possum) or red meat (Squirrel).
P.S. Don’t bother writing back that this is a hoax.
I know that Possum is not a white meat.

Yep. Mrs. Jazzy saw one for sale in a hospital gift shop the other day and she said that she wanted to vomit.

Remember Lorena Bobbitt? Well, her sister got arrested for the same thing. She missed and stabbed her husband in the leg, she got off with a miss de wiener.

guy walks into a bar and says to the bartender, “Give me six double vodkas.”

The bartender says, “Man, you must have had one hell of a day?!”

“Yeah. I just found out my oldest son is gay.”

The next day, the same guy comes walking into the bar and asks for six more doubles. When the bartender asks what’s wrong, the man says, “I just found out my youngest son is gay, too!”

On the third day, the guy comes into the bar and orders another six double vodkas. The bartender says, “Damn! Doesn’t anybody in your family like women?”

The man downs the first drink and shakes his head, “Yeah, my wife!”

That reminds me of the guy who orders six shots...but all at once. The bartender asks the occasion, and the guy tells him "it was my first bl*wjob.

Barkeep says, "Hey, awright!...let me give you a 7th on the house!"

The guy shakes him off, telling him, "Nah - if six won't get rid of the taste, a seventh ain't gonna help...."

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?" --after being asked a foreign policy question by a reporter while visiting a diner in Pennsylvania

Seriously? And yet Pennsylvanians went for him anyway. Seriously, he was there, at yet another diner, another stop, for the food and not for photo ops and question/rally time? Must have been one damn good diner...
