There, I said it. After a year of campaigning, and 8 months of his Presidency, I have seen no evidence whatsoever that Barry Obama is actually more intelligent than George Bush. If we were keeping a running tally of gaffes, they are on course to be dead even. Without benefit of media cover, the populace at large would see the new President as a likable, sometimes well spoken buffoon. I would like to invite my fellow Freepers to use this post to present some of their favorite obama goofs and gaffes as sort of a reference post when engaging the left and defending our former President (tho' sometimes it's hard)...
Some of my CATS are smarter than Obama. Not all of them, though.
Like hell, you think he could mix a decent margarita?
I don't think so. As a bartender, the patrons could tell him to shut up or move away when he starts his mindless babble.
I think Obama would have limped through some mediocre school and got an advanced degree (one which doesn't require a lot of real work) and then con his way into a lecturer position at some university or community college. He would have used the class to indoctrinate his students who have to listen to the junk and who he hopes will be as impressed with his "brilliance" as he is. Obama would have become one of the sea of empty-suited "intellectuals" who populate the university coffee shops and campus protests.
Most of us don’t order margaritas at our Chicago taverns
There is No Bell Curve ! That's Rightist/Republican/Conservative Propaganda !
We are all equal! We MUST Share everything !
Wanna ride on an elevator designed by the multi-million dollar salaried star athlete ? (exclude quarterbacks and 'scholarship' basketball players)
Good point...one has to have more intelligence then he’s shown to mix any kind of good drink.
I think the biggest most damning gaffe has to be his selling of healthcare reform when he said “Fed Ex and UPS are doing great, it’s the Post Office that has problems”. HMMMM yeah that is the problem and exactly why the government should not be allowed no where near healthcare!
It was the only complicated mixed drink I could think of. I’ll give him credit for being able to mix a Jack & Coke.
I don't think it'd even be close. Obama has alreadhy exceeded what Bush did in eight years. W massacred the language at times, and flubbed some pronunciations, but he did not constantly make incorrect statements, or just illogical statements like Obama does anytime he's without TOTUS.
