A Lingering Question of Obama’s Competence
Flopping Aces ^ | 09-07-09 | Mike's America

Posted on 09/07/2009 11:42:37 AM PDT by Starman417

If the Administration cannot get even simple details right, then how can they cope effectively with the major challenges we confront?

Remember the laugh when the White House misspelled Obama's name on an official document relating to Arms Control agreements with the Russians? At the time, it was good for a chuckle.

Now, people are starting to wonder if the boys and girls who arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on the Smoke and Mirrors Hopey-Changey express may not be quite up to the job.

Take for instance the controversial Presidential address Obama will deliver to schoolchildren on Tuesday. Don't you think someone at the White House would have bothered to check if all the nation's schools would be open for pupils that day? Apparently not:

Schools in New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Buffalo, Seattle, Eugene OR, Arlington NY and perhaps many others will not be open until after Tuesday. Hundreds of thousands of students will not be subjected to the dear leader's rant.

And get this: the White House and Obama folks at the Dept. of Education, (who distributed the instructions which have caused so much controversy), misspelled schoolchildren in the announcement. On both web sites the media advisory reads "President Obama Delivers National Address to America's Schoochildren.

I hope that the MSM, and late night comedians will roast Obama for these misspellings. Remember when Dan Quayle was nailed for misspelling potato?

So if the White House gets the same treatment, then, the liberals and MSM should have a meltdown that this president can’t spell. Or that he hires people who can’t spell.

NOW they are starting to wonder?
A day late and a few trillion dollars short as they say.
To late to begin wondering now after you voted to allow these idiots to gain control of the Government. You all should have been wondering about this before you went into the polling places...........
How could you not know?

In many urban areas of this country, "schoochildren" is the correct spelling.

I think most of us realized his incompetence when, during his campaign, he stated that he had visited 57 states. He had so dazzled the stupid morons that voted for him with his “hopey-changey” hocus-pocus that the half of them with the intelligence to know that there are only 50 states overlooked it, while the other half had, like Zerobama, no idea how many states there are!

57 States remark was only one of many stupid comments.
Remember the one about “the bomb they dropped on Pearl Harbor. How about when he was talking to the Penn
State (known as the Nittany Lions) student and referred to the student as a “Nitally” Lion. He is simply a Nitally wit!

Maybe obama was thinking of Heinz 57 steak sauce? That would pretty well sum-up obambi - all sauce, no meat.

And the kind of sauce he is made of is nuoc-mam (Viet Nam vets know what I’m talking about). My apologies to anyone who likes nuoc-mam.
