Gaffetastic! President Obama declares,

“As I said, we will be out of Afghanistan by the end of this year… Combat operations in Afghanistan have ended.”

Could you even imagine if Bush would have made this mistake?

FReepers are good and quick.

You can gage how much you belong here, I think, by how many chime in with EXACTLY what you were thinking.

I was going to post...

“Where was the ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner?”

Facebook it. Plaster and tell all of your independent friends about it.

Point out the obvious bias and hypocrisy of the liberal media in relation to when Bush or Palin made a gaffe.

Mission Accomplished Obama lol.

Well I sympathize with our doofus president, so I’m going to post, “Where is a teleprompter when you desperately need one?”

Everyone can slip up, I realize he probably gets both briefings daily, however, it seems more to me his head isn’t in the game at all. That these fronts in the war on terror are way back in his mind hence a big slip up.

The disturbing thing, he is the CIC!

This stuff should be first and foremost.

Is there anyone in the military command structure that has made such a gaffe?

Obama hasn’t spoken to any world leaders about Egypt because his handlers don’t know what the teleprompter should say about it.

The situation is very “fluid” and they certainly wouldn’t want O just picking up the phone and making a call... without the teleprompter who knows what world-changing gaffe would come tumbling out of his mouth.

He’s probably holed up in the WH somewhere watching ESPN.

Couple of reasons it’s important to highlight his gaffes:

1. Sarah Palin mistakenly says “north” for “south” Korea then quickly self corrects. YET she is vilified in the media.

2. Obama (the SMARTEST POTUS EVER - according to msnbc) should not be making these kind of mistakes. Next thing you know he’ll be saying stuff like there are “57 States” and referencing the Austrian Language.

He gets a pass for aggregious mistakes and Palin gets crucified for minor missteps.

I think the double standard is fully expected from the MSM now and forever. Agreed, punching back twice as hard is what is necessary. Oh she’s stupid cuz of some incredibly simple mistake?

Well here is your GOD MESSIAH effing up tenfold.
