Vanity - Hey Obama supporters...would you have approved if George W. Bush had...

No, I think 0bama was trying to refer to the holiday.

Siete de Nueve was always one of MY favorites!

(Does she fall under the RULES category?)

[Bullish]

If George W. Bush had been a black liberal democrat then yes, they would approve.

The color of his skin gives him a free pass to trash and destroy everything that makes America great.

When you refer to people on this thread as dumb as Obama, I’m done. Stuff a sock in it.

Ok, be prepared to be called out and karma is a funny little thing. Especially when you are debating someone who is not only dumb, but a jerk to boot!

“Welcome to Cinco de Cuatro - Cinco de Mayo at the White House,” said Obama, in what appeared to be an attempt to note they were celebrating on the fourth of May instead of the fifth.

Cinco de cuatro means “five of four” in Spanish.

On the eve of the Mexican holiday, Obama on Monday had an event in the East Room of the White House with Mexico’s Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan (sahr-oo-KHAN’).

Obama joked that it was “Cinco de Cuatro,” botching a play on the Spanish word for “four” when he meant to say “Cuatro de Mayo,” or the Fourth of May. He tried again, but he still did not get it right.

Should I keep going? Or are you as dumb as Obama and can’t figure it out?

[TigersEye]

I thought it made him sound like a math challenged Borg unit.

Five of four.

[TigersEye]

Stuff it right back. ;-)

[autumnraine]

I think you are right.

[autumnraine]

No, he was making a joke that they were celebrating the holiday of “Cinco de Mayo” on the FOURTH OF MAY.

[TigersEye]

I see you are ready to accept the SRM explanation for 0bama’s flubs. That sure makes you smart! /s

[FreeSouthernAmerican]

I live in El Paso and several of my co-workers who happen to be Spanish speaking Mexicans thought the same thing. As in, doesn’t he mean Cuatro de Mayo since its the 4th?

[I see my hands]

• If W had spent 20 years in a racist church wherein the preacher screamed "God damn America"...

• If W had spent big sums of money fending off lawsuits that would require him to produce his birth certificate and instead referred to an obvious fake submitted by some poster on an internet forum...

• If W had said: "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."...

Let's make a new rule if she doesn't:

[autumnraine]

WTF are you talking about?

Never mind. It’s like talking to a box of rocks.

[TigersEye]

But it is sooooooo important isn't it? /s

ROTFLOL

[autumnraine]

Wait, are you saying Michelle Malkin is SRM?

[Richard Kimball]

Wow, would have been a real knee slapper if he’d gotten it right. OTOH, I think it’s funnier this way.

[KJC1]

The confusion is entirely understandable.

BUT...what the other posters are trying to tell you is this:

1. Obama meant to say “Cuatro de Mayo” in an attempt to note that the Cinco de Mayo festivities were being held on the 4th of May instead of the 5th of May.

2. Instead of saying what he meant (”Cuatro de Mayo”) he actually said “Cinco de Quatro.”

3. He wasn’t trying to say “Cinco de Mayo.”

Hope this helps clear it up!

[FreeSouthernAmerican]

I’d let it go.
