Title: Obama fails Constitution 101 again, doesn't know 22nd amendment?
Post by: Manedwolf on July 21, 2008, 06:08:58 AM
Or is he just stupid?

Today on CBS's Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that "the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.

Maybe he figures that he won't be President and will be dealing with them as a Senator. laugh

Give him a break.  He's a product of the new math.  Close is good enough.  grin

Obama is pretty sure that the 22nd Amendment wasn't ratified by all 57 states . . .

(If McCain made the same number and types of gaffs as Obama, news reporters and anchors would be saying he was on the verge of senility. What's Obama's excuse?)

He claims to be.  He went around Hyde Park 7, 8 years ago referring to himself as "Professor", but he was more like a guest lecturer, picking up a class or two.

Yeah, but you do have to wonder if it'll matter.  How many dumb, inexperienced mistakes has he made so far?  And yet, he's still in the race.

Lemme see here.

First, 57 states
Second, Pearl Harbor's bomb
Third, 10 year presidential term

At a minimum O'Bama is someone's sock puppet.  Beyond that the man is either a well-dressed, articulate idiot OR he has plans for us he dare not reveal (c.f. civilian security force).

Yep. At least Hillary's plan to nuke Iran made some level of sense comparatively. Osama Bin Laden probably is in Pakistan, but those caves are pretty invasion resistant. Kinda like a whole country of Iwo Jima.

Trying to understand Obama's appeal is like trying to understand the ethos of the Middle Ages.  Better to hunk down and wait for the Renaissance--if it comes again.

Iwo Jima isn't a country.

------------------------

Here's how I look at it:  If you say enough stuff eventually you'll slip up.  Right now McCain and Obama are both saying a lot of stuff in public.  They will make mistakes.  We all do. See above.

Actually, he was saying that the terrain of the entire country of Pakistan is like that of Iwo Jima.  Or if he wasn't talking about the terrain, he was comparing them in some other way.

Hell, those are just the bare highlights.  If he was a conservative or a Republican, he would be branded as dumber than Dan Quayle by now.  All he did was misspell potatose.

I thought I heard that Obama also said he was going to order the joint chiefs to do something about Iraq or Afghanistan, not realizing the JCS doesn't do operations.  Now, I didn't myself know the limits of the JSC's authority, but anyone running for POTUS should have.

Stupid comment, anyway.  A lie, really.  No one's saying that.*  No one dares to say that.  He knows that no one will ever say that kind of thing. 

But, then, maybe he thinks our side is saying that at private fund-raisers, just like he made offensive statements at the fund-raiser in Frisco. 

*Yeah, there are people saying it, but they are nobodies.

There's more than one denomination of dollar bills.   
Around here, a "dollar bill" always refers to the $1 denomination.  Any other value, such as $20, always has the value as part of the name, such as a "twenty-dollar bill."  One of those is never called a "dollar bill."

Perhaps it is different in your part of the country.

Always a non-conformist, I have no idea what the norm is in my part of the country.  I've heard people claim that a "dollar bill" is always a one-dollar bill.  Just never made sense to me. 

If you're talking about a bunch of bills of different denominations, what do you call it?  A bunch of federal reserve notes?  I just call it a bunch of dollar bills.  Or a fat grip of money, I suppose.   cheesy

He'd be even grumpier about that fact that it was George W Bush who made the price of oil come down by trying to make it easier for wealthy corporations to drill for more oil.
