WaPo: As Obama Makes Gaffe After Gaffe, Let's Talk About McCain's 'Flubs'

Remember when McCain said that he had visited all 57 States during his campaign? Then there was the time that McCain said "Well let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's." Oh, and what about the time that McCain said "10,000 people died" in the Kansas tornadoes (death toll really 12). Crazy stuff, eh? Wait, let's not forget when McCain said that Arkansas was a "nearby" state to Kentucky. Man was that a major flub showing a complete lack of knowledge of simple geography.

Hmm, wait a minute. I might be making a flub myself, here. Didn't Obama make all those gaffes (and many, many more)? Why, yes, he did. So, why, amidst an ever growing list of Obama flubs and gaffes, did the Washington Post's Howard Kurtz just pen a story titled "Is McCain's Age Showing? Tongues Wag Over Flubs"? It's as if the Obamessiah has spoken in flawless, if not mellifluous, English with nary a gaffe uttered throughout the campaign.

Obamessiahs gaffes are written off as him being tired and exausted. Must be tough on him to bask in all the adulation he gets.

It just amazes me that they are so frigging blind to their own bias and basically it’s `Yeah we are...so what...and your stupid if you don’t believe us! It’s the most insulting spectacle I’ve ever had the mis-pleasure of witnessing!

If you’re from one of those big western states, I bet Arkansas does seem near Kentucky. Looks as though a crow could fly about 30 miles from the NE corner of Arkansas and land in Kentucky. I would call that close.

" ... Obamessiahs gaffes are written off as him being tired and exausted ... "


Obama, in Israel this week ... " This, this, uh, this past week we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to, uh, call for divestment from Iran."


Being tired and exhausted doesn't excuse this "Hope & Change" artist from blatant lies such as the one above.


Messiah this Obamalamadingdong!

Why does this article start off saying, “Remember when MCCAIN said...”

Those were quotes from Obama.

Am I missing satire here or is that a blooper?

My personal favorite is how Barry can sit in a church pew for 20 YEARS.. not months, minutes or seconds, but YEARS... and not hear any of the sermons!

Is that a gaffe, or just a big, fat lie?

His ears are large enough, so I don’t think it’s an auditory issue.

It was Obama that said 10,000 people died in the tornado NOT McCain. Obama’s people and Obama are liars and subscribe to the theory that if you repeat it often enough people believe it.

Why would the younger candidate be making mistakes (lies really) because he’s “tired and exhausted”? Might as well elect McCain then.

Although I know it's not his fault (he was born that way!), at times he does evoke memories of the Ferengi!

CA....

Exactly ... lies.


When someone says the are the head of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, and they aren't even on that committee, it certain it ian't because he's tired. He's just another lying political hack.


Yep, might as well go with the old guy.

Actually it was one of a progression of lies about Rev. Wright.

It began in this way, in chronological order:
