Obama is so used to assuming the position that he thinks “bow and spear” in Psalm 46 means he’s supposed to bend at the waist. As Freeper ExSabotSender noted,
“If he had been familiar with text he would have know that Bow – is a reference to a weapon of war like in bow & arrow. Two more weapons of war follow in verse 9 – the spear & chariot. Instead he pronounced the word as Bow – to been at the waist, the front of a boat, or limb of a tree.”
Guess they didn’t teach that verse at Trinity United Church, huh?

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
He’s an idiot. What’s new?
Unbelievable.
Maybe he should extend a bow to the Corps.
The moron actually said Lincoln was the founder of the Republican Party. You are right, he makes Biden look like Einstein.
Oh heck he has no idea what he’s saying when he gives these speeches - he’s just reading from a script.
Did he use a prompter today? It seems like he was looking down a lot during the clip - maybe he had to use a paper copy today?
couldn’t avoid hearing the occasional clip of him reading from the bible. He reads at about the fifth grade level. It actually made me feel sorry for him.
“bow and spear” is slang for sex in Chicago.
Yeah, it’s an old Navy term if you get my drift.
Wasn't gonna say that.- Not exactly that. .. but words like 'shmuck, shmendrick, and putz' come to mind.
...don’t worry father, the smartest President we’ve ever had just jumped out of the plane wearing my backpack!
Frightfully stupid mistake, there is no walking it back, and it is even worse when you realize these people are walking around with the nuclear football in their possession.
Hey, leave the smartest president in history alone. Anyone can confuse the meaning of biblical text. It’s not like he went to Pakistan or Indonesia to study the bible in a madras or anything. Sheesh!
I remember that one.
Imagine the media response had GWB or Sarah Palin had made this gaffe...
maybe he was thinking shuck and jive
You sent me to the online Yiddish Phrases with “shmendrick.”
What a great word to describe Obama!
SHMENDRICK: A weak and thin pipsqueak. The opposite of mensch, a physically small shlemiel.
Never a day goes by without learning something new on FR. Thanks.

Mebbe he forgot his spelling and thought bow referred to a tree limb?
Or perhaps he got his scriptures mixed up with sports terminology and thought “bow and spear” meant to lower his head and ram it into our chests?
