"... “If you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking it,’’ Obama said. But the Illinois senator could still see skeptics in the crowd, particularly on the faces of several men at the back of the room.

So he tried again. “Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ he said. “This can’t be the reason not to vote for me. Can everyone hear me in the back? I see a couple of sportsmen back there. I’m not going to take away your guns.’’

Just amazing. "This CAN'T be the reason not to vote for me!"

Totally obtuse. I really thought he was smarter than this. I don't think he's ever really seen the United States of America outside of Maui, South Chicago, and Washington DC.

He's touring the USA like an American with only one week of vacation tours Europe: Well, here's Belgium! Look at all the flowers. Is that a, er ah, a germanaranium, or whatever they call it? Hell, I dunno. Back in the car kids! We're late for Portugal!

I fear he'll win the Presidency, but I'm really starting to think he'll get his ass kicked worse than John Kerry in 2004.

You nailed it. The only versions of America Obama knows from personal experience are Harvard and the South Side of Chicago. Neither is really typical of the rest of the country. He's now playing catchup in all sorts of areas, but there's no substitute for having actually lived among the people and imbibed their view of reality.

Yes, his stunning ignorance of American geography tells me all I need to know. We don’t have 57 states, and hey Barack, it’s Mount Nittany, not Mount Nitaly.

I pray he’s soundly defeated, but I was surprised at how close the 2004 Presidential elections were.

The h*ll it can't.

Since you're so smart, Lord Obama, let's see if you read Greek: MΩΛΩN ΛABE.
