Collection of Obama gaffes

I am posting this collection of Obama gaffes, in case I need to remember them later.

The many inexcusable gaffes of the very young and inexperience Barack Hussein Obummer:

Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.

In Oregon, Obummer redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

In front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you, Sioux City.”

Explaining why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois? In fact, Illinois shares a border with Kentucky, not Arkansas. Moron.

Obummer has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” (Actually, this is more like a Clintonian lie to burnish his image than a gaffe.) Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil-rights movement as a whole.” (buwahahahaha, just like a Donk to compound a lie with another lie.)

In Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.” Ditz. Truth is Obummer voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site, but I guess this incompetent U.S. Senator doesn’t read what he’s voting on!

Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s Dreams from My Father: “Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”

And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”

The only “change” Obummer is really for is the ability to change his mind on any number of issues just to squeeze out every last vote from the most mind-numbed morons in America who think this guy really is “different” or “smart”. Obummer is nothing more than a calculating empty suit Chicago politician who will stop at nothing to plunk his incompetent backside in that Oval Office.

Personally, I think it very ironic how Obummer (and to a lesser degree, Bill Clinton) is able to invoke such messianic fervor among the liberal seculars in this country.

Unfortunately, MOST Senators (and Representatives) don't read what they're voting on. That's why once in a while someone suggests a "Read The Bills Act", under which a legislator voting on a bill also swears that they have read and understood it. Of course it always fails; the same foxes have to approve it, who are guarding the public henhouse in the first place. :-(
