Obama leaves audience scratching heads over gaffes at Scotland summit
Washington Times ^ | 11/9/2021 | Dave Boyer

Former President Barack Obama called on world leaders to save the planet, but he couldn’t quite identify which country he was in.

Mr. Obama’s speech Monday at the COP26 climate-change summit is being mocked for his reference to host Scotland as part of the “Emerald Isles,” which is a nickname for Ireland.

" Since we’re in the Emerald Isles here let me quote the Bard, William Shakespeare,” Mr. Obama said. “‘What wound,’ he writes, ‘did ever heal but by degrees?’”

Yup- he really was clueless, and the media were silent about it, but how they do howl if Trump doesn’t say everything perfectly 100% of the time. Even if Trump did, they’d make up crap about what he said.

Without a teleprompter one sees the shallowness of the anointed’s intellect.

Obumba’s the reason we need a “leave office, go home and shut up” law.

Obama is a shallow person. All image and no substance.

People I used to work with would describe a person like him as having “brochure level” knowledge but no real expertise or skills.

- She was dumb as dirt and also ‘unread’. If she heard about something 5 minutes age, she was the new global authority on it. -

Unfortunately, there are far too many like that. And they vote.

It’s not dementia.

Barry’s just an idiot.

Remember, Deep State never hires the front office types for brains.

He’s a little higher functioning. Maybe an imbecile or maybe even as smart as a moron.

An obedient, subservient media immediately went to work to keep the truth from the American people.

I can recall orientation sessions on the local African culture, basic etiquette, and linguistic faux pas to avoid (biscuit vs. “cookie”). But that was just to prep us for building schools and churches, not to plan for worldwide economic totalitarianism...

Dear Obama:

The Emeral Isle is Ireland, The Bard is from England. If you want the most famous Scottish saying try “Freeeeeeeedom”. Uttered by that ascot of legend William Wallace.

Back when he was resident, Barry visited the Westminster Abbey. When he signed the guest register, he wrote down the wrong year. So, not knowing what country he is in is not surprising.
