When are the liberal media going to admit that, without his teleprompter, Barack Obama is as big a doofus as they always claimed George Bush was?
Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had just gotten the date wrong by three years in signing a guest book at Westminster Abbey, writing down May 24, 2008, instead of May 24, 2011?
Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had just committed the diplomatic blunder of toasting the Queen during the playing of God Save the Queen, when you’re not supposed to drink?
Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had said: “The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries”? (Jan. 28, 2010)
Or: “I’m here with the Girardo family, here in St. Louis,” when he was in Kansas City? (August 25, 2008)
Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had shouted, “How’s it going, Sunshine?” at a campaign rally on May 23, 2008 in Sunrise, Fla.?
Or if Bush had erroneously described “Austrian” as a language, when he meant “German,” as Obama did in France on April 6, 2009, when he observed: “It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing?”
Imagine if Bush had said, as Obama did on May 26, 2008: “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honours its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong”?
Or: “In case you missed it, this week there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed,” as Obama did in May, 2007, about a tornado that killed 12 people?
Imagine if Bush had said, as Obama did on July 20, 2009: “The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system”?
Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had ducked out of a media conference on March 3, 2008, with the excuse: “Anyway, guys, c’mon now. I just answered, like, eight questions?”
That’s not even counting Obama’s more famous gaffes for which he’s apologized, such as on The Tonight Show on March 19, 2009, when he said: “I bowled a 129. It’s like - it was like Special Olympics or something.”
Or when he introduced his running mate, Joe Biden, on Aug. 23, 2008, as “the next president.”
Or the time, in praising a “Navy Corpsman” on Feb. 5, 2010, Obama mispronounced it, “Navy Corpse-man”, not realizing the “ps” is silent.
(For more “Obamaisms” visit politicalhumor.about.com.)
The point isn’t that Obama commits gaffes, just as Bush did. After all, the job of U.S. president is one of the most stressful in the world and campaigning for it is a logistical nightmare.
That would wear down anyone to the point where they might occasionally say something stupid.
The point, as blogger Kate McMillan at smalldeadanimals.com has observed, is the blatant double-standard the liberal media apply in covering Obama versus Bush.
Obama’s gaffes, if they’re mentioned at all, are generally treated with humour and even sympathy, whereas with Bush, they were constantly cited as (false) evidence of stupidity.
And how dumb is that?

They are just the front men.
I knew Democrat voters both dead and alive were partial to Obama, but this is a whole new level of loyalty for them to come from beyond the grave not just to vote but attend one of his speeches!
If we can have books of Bushisms, it's only fair to have one of Obamisms too.
The Zero goof list needs to go viral.
“And how dumb is that?”
Not dumb at all, so long as it works.
Minitru never makes mistakes.
or saying he loves to be in sunshine when he was in Sunrise FL
or saying he was in Sioux city when he was in Sioux falls which is another state.
Or his energy policy was to inflate tires
or him putting on a fake irish accent
or him giving a toast when the Uk national anthem was playing and he was supposed to shut up
Or signing the date 2008
The man is a complete fool and one dumb arse and still the AMERICAN MEDIA paid off by Soros tell us he is educated and smart
Wonder if Bush or Ssrah had done half of this then the late TV shows would rip apart
I will tell you what would happen if the media treated 0bama like Bush. 0bama’s approval rating would be in the twenties.
And don’t forget “corpse” instead of “corps”.
What about visiting 57 states?

Bush was indeed a horrid public speaker...but, he was an honest and moral man - unlike the Obama-butt.
In addition, I do not see any indications that the Loon is more intelligent than W. Quite the opposite - I see no indications that the Loon really earned any of his degrees, nor any indication that he could tie his shoes properly without a teleprompter.
I don't buy the premise of the argument. I don't recall the Bush being the constant tone def gaff machine this loser is. As a matter of fact, Bush got along famously with all the world leaders and they respected him. Look at the press Obummer is getting over in England now. Terrible.
