The Case Against Obama - In His Own Words

[Spâtha]

It would be hard to make a better case against a Barack Obama presidency than the one Obama has made in his own words.

The most memorable thing about Obama’s speeches is not generally what he says, but rather how large and enthusiastic the audiences are.

If voters pay attention only to the symbolism and get caught up in the excitement of the Obamessiah and his throngs of fainting disciples, he stands a good chance of winning in November.

If voters pay attention instead to the things Obama is saying, the case against an Obama presidency will be clear.

Obama’s youthful appearance is often cited as one of his biggest assets, but when he opens his mouth he doesn’t always come off as presidential or even particularly intelligent.

The political figure who perhaps has received the most ridicule in the past twenty years is Dan Quayle (due largely to a misspelled word on a flashcard he read during an appearance at a school). I wonder how much more grief would have been heaped on Vice President Quayle if he had made any of the following gaffes committed by Barack Obama (from Michelle Malkin):

Last May, he claimed that Kansas tornadoes 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.

Earlier this month in Oregon, he 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.”

Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, 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, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.

You're being a moron. Because of some exaggerated and unsubstantiated negative claims about Obama, you mock most anything negative said about him except for a very few select things. Well, here's a newsflash: quoting Obama himself when he puts his foot in his mouth (routine) is not conspiracy-theory crap, and it is relevant to his suitability (lack thereof) to be President.

The left hates to be wrong so they will make fun of and accuse any who point out his and their faults.

Remember truth is not relevant just what you feel

Uhhhhh...
It's an article by Lorie Byrd.
The article mentions that Obama is his own worst enemy.. it's about things he has said... himself... in his words...

I really don't care if he's a secret ninja or a secret muslim or a secret anything...

I just thought it was interesting(according to the article), that he keeps putting his foot in his mouth. Not the kind of individual I want representing me or my country.

But, you don't have to read it.
It's not by me.
Maybe you didn't understand?

You don't want someone who puts his foot in his mouth, and you just posted three paragraphs about how Bush was a great president? Are you serious?

I'd like to see a detailed count of how many times Bush has put his foot in his mouth in eight years vs. Obama in less than one.

That's not the point. Bush was a moron during speeches, just like Obama is. It's complete hypocrisy to say one isn't fit to be president because of it and the other is great regardless.

Bush was a great speaker off the cuff. It was the written speeches he had trouble with; Obama can't speak intelligibly without a teleprompter. Every time he opens his mouth his foot is firmly inserted. Bush made a number of great speeches, one of his most notable right after 9/11. He made an occasional gaffe, and he wasn't a flamboyant oily tongued speaker, but basically, he knew what he was talking about - a far cry from the teleprompter kid. Just a few gaffes from Bush, and people say he couldn't speak. That's nothing but a pack of nonsense.

And Obama has had great speeches too. Bush's 9/11 speech WAS written beforehand, like any president's speech that is televised or spoken at all. His major problem was getting facts right, same as Obama and McCain.
