Barking when I should have been sniffing

A plethora of gaffes from our most ineffective, dishonest, and socialist president:
(rantlifestyle.com)

Intercontinental railroad: "We're the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad." —Cincinnati, OH, Sept. 22, 2011. There is only one problem, Mr. President, the United States built the transcontinental railroad.

My grandmother was a typical white person: "The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred in our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society." Only white people must feel this. Uh-huh.

Inefficient healthcare: "The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system." --in remarks after a health care roundtable with physicians, nurses and health care providers, Washington, D.C., July 20, 2009.
Oh, so you meant to mess up our healthcare system then?

Where Am I: "How's it going, Sunshine?" --campaigning in Sunrise, Florida. After a few beers a lot of people forget where they are. Oh, you were sober? Well, blame your teleprompter or something.


Israel's Best Friend: "Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." --Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008. Is the United States the United States' best friend too?

I See Dead People: “Our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes and I see many of them in the audience here today.” So, you see servicemen and women that have been killed in defense of our nation? Must have been too many drugs in college.

Everything is all right: “The private sector is doing fine.” He uttered these words when 23 million Americans were out of work. Glad everything is all right.

Wait, What??: “I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go?” at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon. Someone please tell him there are only 50 states at the moment. Shocking, I know.

You didn't build that: “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that! Someone else made that happen!” He took a lot of flak over this and rightfully so.

Regional Disaster: “The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.” Oh, so a region plagues itself? Interesting.

Where is Hawaii again?: "When I meet with world leaders, what's striking -- whether it's in Europe or here in Asia..." -mistakenly referring to Hawaii as Asia while holding a press conference outside Honolulu, Nov. 16, 2011. So, the man who was born in Hawaii doesn't know what continent it is on. Hawaii is Asia now? Umm, okay.

O...Oh Boy!: “O-I-H-O” – Barack Obama misspelling Ohio at a campaign event. Oh boy. At least he knows where Hawaii is...oh. Well, OIHO must be the 57th state.

Gotta have faith: “John McCain has not spoken about my Muslim faith.” interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," which Obama quickly clarified. Remembering what religion you are can be tough.

I shouldn't have said that: “I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” Toledo, Ohio, Oct. 12, 2008. This was a sticking point during the 2008 campaign and I bet he regretted saying this.

More coming soon......
