Why is nobody talking about the comparison he made between EU politics and the US Senate?

Everyone in the Senate is wheeling and dealing for their own self-interest, issues, and politics?!

Really? We suspected as much, but the POTUS just casually confirmed it and it’s no big deal?

We get what we deserve when comments like that are dismissed.

That there is a source for an inaccurate or at minimum incomplete statement does not make it any less inaccurate.

How utterly embarrassing. Every day he tops the gaffes from the day before. Please tell me someone is keeping a list of these.

Good news and bad news. The good news is that a list is being kept. The bad new is that it is being kept in the same vault as the birth certificate.

Hmm, she specifically asked for his personal feelings. Tough to find your personal feelings in a script or on a teleprompter...so he blew it big time! I hope to see many more questions on his personal feelings.

I wonder what this Rocket Scientist had for SAT’s and grades.

Yes, so do I. I'd also like to know what languages he's studied, other than Arabic and Indonesian. His "brilliance" has yet to be backed up by any facts, other than the fact of winning elections ... which (given how he did it) definitely implies a great deal of low cunning, but not necessarily high intelligence or education.

Did you mean to send this to me?

I was making a joke about Michelle and Chicago. I’m not sure what you are talking about.

My ex-sister-in-law was born in Innsbruck. I know she speaks German, but will vouch for her leader. She’s very involved with Albany, NY Dems. Ha!

Someone so scary-smart and worldly should know these things already. One measure of intelligence is the awareness of one’s environment and surroundings.

LOL, this is too rich.

My company farms out a lot of our CTM trial material production to a company in Austria, and members of our group go there frequently for consultation, provide manufacturing assistance, etc.

We always make jokes along the line of "so, do you know how to speak Austrian?" and so forth. We also purposefully confuse Austria with Australia, asking people who come back after a week over there things like "So, get any surfing in?" or "throw another shrimp on the barbie mate?"

I didn't realise there was any out there - much less a President of the United States - who was stuid enough to actually make this type of mistake.

The reason his school records have been sealed is that he never completed High School.

No worries. The media will cover this up and continue to lick Oslambla’s behind.

German is one of the three official languages of Belgium, the others being Dutch and French. However, it's spoken as a native language by less than 1% of the population and it is hardly correct to call it The official language.

I was surprised to see German listed as an official language for Belgium and had to look it up. It is an "officially recognized language.

I was also surprised to see Dutch listed. The Belgians do not speak Dutch, but Flemish. I guess Flemish is a version or dialect of Dutch.

He should have stuck to 'merci beacoup' as he so famously accused most Americans of during the campaign.

Can this guy prove any more what a moron he is? America has 57 states . . . . bowing to the Saudi King, learning Australian . . . . ., etc., etc., etc?????

Geez, and the leftists and the press (redundant, I know) tried to portray BUSH as being dumb!!!

After just a few months in office, the gaffes are piling up at a prodigious rate. And being studiously ignored by all the half-wit “comedians” who claim there is nothing funny about Obama.
