Only Missed It By Three Years!

I wrote a check the other day, first one in a while, and I seriously wrote the date as May 16th, 1998

Great. An anonymous message board poster and the leader of the USA are both absent-minded.

Will you be 35 in 2012 so I can give you a write-in vote for president?

or maybe we're both human.

Um.....I think I was born in 1965, but I was in Nigeria at the time.

Are you the guy with the money transfer problems? I'm ready to help. I think the $10 million fee you proposed is reasonable.

Thanks, it'll be a pleasure doing business with you.

If Bush had done this, the left would be howling about what a moron he is. But since it was Obama, they think it just shows that he's human (and cute!).

Why do you always have to bring up Bush? Why do you have to hate on him so much? Leave the man alone, he's no longer president!

The world is so unfair.

Is this the kind of thing they talk about on right wing radio?

I found it in on that noted right-wing mouthpiece, the New York Times website. RIF

Even the bumbling clod Gerald Ford knew that a royal toast ends when you say the word "Queen".

Barry thought he was going to wow them all with another long speech from note cards.

What an unsophisticated boob.

I don't really blame President Obama for this gaffe; it's below his pay grade to research these things. However, his protocol officer should be fired. This trip has been a disaster for him. That being said, if he's not bothering to prepare himself properly for the protocol or not giving enough of a shit about the Brits to do so, then it's on him.

Here's an interesting blog post from the Telegraph: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/n...top-ten-insults-against-britain-2011-edition/

Why do you always have to bring up Bush?

Why was Bush making mistakes the sign of an idiot, as the left stated non-stop for 8 years?

Obama’s just as big a doofus as Bush

When are the liberal media going to admit that, without his teleprompter, Barack Obama is as big a doofus as they always claimed George Bush was?

Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had just gotten the date wrong by three years in signing a guest book at Westminster Abbey, writing down May 24, 2008, instead of May 24, 2011?

Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had just committed the diplomatic blunder of toasting the Queen during the playing of God Save the Queen, when you’re not supposed to drink?

Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had said: “The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries”? (Jan. 28, 2010)

Or: “I’m here with the Girardo family, here in St. Louis,” when he was in Kansas City? (August 25, 2008)

Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had shouted, “How’s it going, Sunshine?” at a campaign rally on May 23, 2008 in Sunrise, Fla.?

Or if Bush had erroneously described “Austrian” as a language, when he meant “German,” as Obama did in France on April 6, 2009, when he observed: “It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing?”

Imagine if Bush had said, as Obama did on May 26, 2008: “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honours its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong”?

Or: “In case you missed it, this week there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed,” as Obama did in May, 2007, about a tornado that killed 12 people?

Imagine if Bush had said, as Obama did on July 20, 2009: “The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system”?

Imagine if Bush, instead of Obama, had ducked out of a media conference on March 3, 2008, with the excuse: “Anyway, guys, c’mon now. I just answered, like, eight questions?”

That’s not even counting Obama’s more famous gaffes for which he’s apologized, such as on The Tonight Show on March 19, 2009, when he said: “I bowled a 129. It’s like - it was like Special Olympics or something.”

Or when he introduced his running mate, Joe Biden, on Aug. 23, 2008, as “the next president.”

Or the time, in praising a “Navy Corpsman” on Feb. 5, 2010, Obama mispronounced it, “Navy Corpse-man”, not realizing the “ps” is silent.

(For more “Obamaisms” visit politicalhumor.about.com.)

The point isn’t that Obama commits gaffes, just as Bush did. After all, the job of U.S. president is one of the most stressful in the world and campaigning for it is a logistical nightmare.

That would wear down anyone to the point where they might occasionally say something stupid.

The point, as blogger Kate McMillan at smalldeadanimals.com has observed, is the blatant double-standard the liberal media apply in covering Obama versus Bush.
Obama’s gaffes, if they’re mentioned at all, are generally treated with humour and even sympathy, whereas with Bush, they were constantly cited as (false) evidence of stupidity.

And how dumb is that?

straw grasping is a hoot, get ready for 4 more years of it

Pointing out a man's stupidity isn't grasping at straws. We're on our second stupid President in a row who are global punchlines.

Be proud, AMURRRRRICA!

 

[3RA1N1AC]

i guess i just dont see anything to get all freaked out about, he messed up, it was a super crazy lol fest, the end.

seriously like...."remember back in 2011 when obama did that writing thing wrong!? omg that was crazy!!" ummm no

Who is freaking out about his gaffes? I'm laughing at them, and laughing at those who view his stupid blunders differently than they viewed Bush's stupid blunders.

They're both idiots. Have you heard Obama speak without reading off of a teleprompter? It's hilarious! The idiot even had note cards for the toast to the Queen that he botched. I've given toasts at weddings as best man, and I can speak off of the cuff for 5 minutes without looking like an idiot.

Where do the major parties get these buffoons?

I don't think anyone is taking it seriously. Some of us are just pointing out that there's a double standard in the media.

Tell me you didn't laugh when the President's Beast got high-centered. It's hilarious.

You Obama people are soooo defensive. He's a bit of a sissy and a little bit goofy. It's OK to laugh at him. I laughed enough at Bush's stupid errors.
