What would have happened if President GW Bush had committed such a bloomer?
(You don't have to tell me, I know!)
This was pointed out by a bunch of people on a previous thread. He is surprised that wheeling and dealing is done in other countries and invents languages all in one sentence. Obviously the smartest politician in our lifetimes, perhaps in the history of the world. Where are all the people who told us what a complete genius he is?
43 makes 42 look like a regular “Norman Einstein,” as Joe Thiesman would say.
“What would have happened if President GW Bush had committed such a bloomer?”
Just ask the “Grecians”;)
The double standard is nauseating. If the MSM likes you, they ignore mistakes;if they detest you, they will savage you mercilessly.
Dear Lord, they wouldn’t have let it go for 7 years.
But Obama makes gaffe after gaffe and excuses galore.
The Hahvahd boy speaks a lot, saying nothing and knows nothing. WH black trash screwing up. albore & his invention of the internet & bo & his invention of a new language. Venture to guess that bo will get his nobel too. He’s such an embarrassment.
In “Austrian”, “wheeling and dealing” is “Scheiss”—the same thing Obama has between his ears, instead of a brain.
0bama is our very own subprime president so what do you expect? Was he up late partying with Beyonce and Jay-Z?
And the POTUS is surprised that there is politics in other countries, too!
What a naive child.
I am waiting for him to tell us other countries have police officers, squirrels, grocery stores, pigeons, cars, dogs, and criminals.
Where has he been all his life?
Possible troll on the other thread, and I want to make sure to get SOURCED information on this thread before he perhaps finds this thread and tries to pull the “WikiAnswers” BS here...

[It’s sort of like Spanish — In Mexico if you speak Castillian Spanish (the form spoken in Spain, and taught in most schools), Mexicans will be able to understand you, but many of the words are a bit different when you learn MEXICAN Spanish. But, it’s ALL called “Spanish”.]
