As far as I am concerned, the terms,”Presidential” and “President” should never be mentioned in the same sentence as obama’s name.

Agreed. Since day one, I've never called that man 'President'. Not once.

Have we all forgotten how the press routinely referred to President GW Bush as "Mr. Bush" for most of his eight years in office?

“The future does not belong to those that slander the prophet Muhammad.” BO, at the UN regarding the attacks Benghazi. (several days after the attacks)

OK Bammy - Why in God’s green Earth would you say this regarding a known terrorist attack?

Man made global warming is real!

Fracking is SO dangerous.

It's “millions of degrees” just beneath the surface of the Earth.

All of these make about as much sense as what the president said....

Vanna, sell him a clue!

"There's no there there."

If your philosophy includes the belief that the end justifies the means, then you might think that.

I'm not even sure what it's supposed to mean

It's lifted from Gertrude Stein, the lesbian progressive Vichy French collaborator, who said, regarding Oakland, CA, "There's no there there".

Count on Obama to know his trangressive progressive quotes.

We are being led by mental midgets. Time for the guys in the white suits to show before before anybody else gets killed by these buffons.

Obama on Benghazi: 'There's No There There'

Good to see that Baraq changed his name. Unfortunately, he chose "There".

I’m thinking it was a teleprompter typo.
There’s nothere there... instead of There’s nothing there.

I think that's the best and most likely reason...I sure as heck don't have an other explanation...

“There’s no there there”

I’m not even sure I know what that is supposed to mean.

Famous quote from Gertrude Stein describing Oakland.

>> There’s no “there” there <<

That line has been used quite a bit in political talk. Sort of like “gravitas” and “the optics”.
