Obama's gaffes start to pile up (THE GOLDEN RAT SLIPS UP)

Barack Hussein hasn't been able to speak off-the-cuff very well and has Biden-like tendency to borrow his stand-up material.

[babaloo]

I wonder when he will see the light and drop out of the race? He is not ready for this battle.

[msnimje]

What? His 18 MONTHs experience in the US Senate has not prepared him to be the Chief Executive of the most powerful country in the world?

Shocking.

Barack Hussein has a problem with the gay issue. If he comes out as pro-gay, the Muslims will declare him apostate. If he comes out anti-gay, the gay lobby will crucify him

[Jalapeno]

None of these seem very major. I think the Hillary camp is still very afraid of him. I also think Hillary has 'stumbled' much more than this.

This race is going to get uglier at some point, because coming out of the summer I suspect he will still be a big threat for her.

Obama... Obama.... Is that the guy with the ears?

[Nailbiter]

price of being a politician

[Fresh Wind]

The Tribune dug this up: Obama, in his memoir, Dreams of My Father, writes of a story in Life magazine that influenced him -- about a black man trying to bleach his skin white. No such article could be found in Life or Ebony.

The Tribune is wrong and Hussein Obama is right on this one. Life Magazine published several issues featuring articles about Michael Jackson.

• Marking the anniversary of the March 1965 "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Ala., Obama, speaking at a church, said his parents got together "because of what happened in Selma." Obama was born in 1961.

Oops! He and Hillary (named for Edmund) have something in common.

Easily this much material and more about her Thighness....

[Chi-townChief]

I've heard his speaking ability compared very unfavorably to Lindsay Graham, of all people.

[Steely Tom]

Prediction: the big left and the drive-by media will throw the gays over the side in a heartbeat, if it comes down to a choice between the gay agenda and the muslim agenda.

[RobFromGa]

Perhaps the magic is wearing off of "Barack, the Magic Negro".

" ... believe we can transform our country by changing our politics."

How sad. We CANNOT positively transform our country through politics, but only through individuals' and families' transformation.

So it's Hussain with no experience and no past skeleton (dug up yet) vs. Hillarious with exp and a ton of skulls...What's a cross voting ny rep-dem to do to make sure the dems lose?

[tkathy]

He's a lightweight trying to put on the trappings of a heavyweight.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Frankly, none of these sound like big deals to me. "What happened in Selma" could easily be interpreted as a reference to the socio-political situation that led to "what happened in Selma" (which was certainly preceded by similar smaller-scale incidents). The YouTube thing? Silly, but what candidate is really involved in the technical end of ad production? Hemming and hawing on homosexuality? Good luck naming a major national candidate or elected official who hasn't. He has a long way to go before getting into the gaffe ballpark of Kerry or Howard Dean.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Don't criticize him. If he fails, Hil is the nominee and all the flaming man-hating feminazi groups, all the newspapers, all the rag mags will be endorsing the Hil as the "first woman president".
