Obama's Gaffes Start to Pile Up

President Obama and his White House staff are making mistakes that continue to worsen an already deflating U.S. economy.

As the stock market plunged below the Dow's 7,000 mark -- a loss of 1,500 points since his inauguration -- Obama casually dismissed the sharp drop in equity values, comparing it to the ups and downs of a poll.

The stock market "is sort of like a tracking poll in politics," he told news reporters. "You know, it bobs up and down day to day. And if you spend all your time worrying about that, then you're probably going to get the long-term strategy wrong."

Excuse me? Tracking poll? That's like dismissing a severed hand as a hangnail.

Leave room on your lapel next to your ‘OVERCHARGE’button, for your old ‘WIN’
button,remember?(Whip Inflation Now’). We will be needing that one next.

By Obama’s logic, my hangover today is a tracking poll of my drinking last night.

An example of a distracting "tracking poll" according to Obama:

Re Dan Quayle. The context in which you reference Dan Quayle suggests you let the MSM do your thinking.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Real senior citizens too, who probably voted for him, watching their nest eggs vanish

First, they waited in line to vote for Obama. Next, they'll wait in line for food and health care.

Uh huh. World's smartest man:

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit... Mars is somewhat the same distance from the Sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe."

"I love California, I practically grew up in Phoenix"

"I believe we are on an irreversible trend towards freedom and democracy, but that could change"

If this was a Democrat, you'd be laughing.

[upchuck]

BUMP!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Cept if your retired this “tracking poll” is costing you everything.

That's what the Statists want. Wipe out capitalist 401k's and replace them with socialist social "security". With full control of retirement, plus health care and the financial sector, and the fascists have the sheeple by the short hairs.

[Niuhuru]

It’ll be whites AND Christians.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

They did a good job of weaving her excuses into their “news report”.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

BOHICA.

[monocle]

In which one of the 57 states do you live. This from one who purportedly taught constitutional law. Patty Murray is another genius. My point is one gives legitimacy to the character assassins of the MSM. Where did the Europeans or Asians get their impressions of Bush. The MSM has never characterized a Democrat as being mentally challenged but do constantly to Republicans. Thus I would never lend credence to the impressions or images created by the MSM.

[DManA]

Pathetic wasn’t it? The poor girl was so exhausted by her grueling schedule that she forgot that 100 BC came before 1776 AD.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Overbearing, obnoxious bufoons like Hillary are responsible for the poor reputation Americans have among Europeans.

[Stentor]

Real senior citizens too, who probably voted for him, watching their nest eggs vanish. And to Obama it's just a game, like tracking polls. 0-pression.

Can't fix stupid. I'm old enough to get discounts and I wouldn't buy a hamburger from that guy. He might be "too tired" to wash his hands.

[2harddrive]

Have you considered that he may WANT the market to tank? And WHY??

[Stentor]

Leave room on your lapel next to your ‘OVERCHARGE’button, for your old ‘WIN’ button,remember?(Whip Inflation Now’). We will be needing that one next.

Oh I remember that genius maneuver. I was a production recorder on a U.S. Steel plant shipping floor. In a room the size of an old city RR station, you couldn't move for the coils to be shipped. Gerry opened his blockhead mouth and the customers couldn't cancel orders fast enough. Two or three weeks later there was an empty shipping floor and I was pink slipped and never called back. I was reading that Greenspan thought when he heard about the idea: "This is unbelievably stupid".

you need to do one with an ass on his head for asshat! that’s the RIGHT hat!! LOL

[Oldpuppymax]

Hey, give der Fuhrer a break. After all, he’s addressing his own voters. What use would he have for facts and big words...even if he knew any!
