Oops! President Obama confuses right, left
CNN ^ | 6/16/09 | staff

President Obama is so busy these days dealing with pressing foreign policy issues like Iran and North Korea, that he can't seem to tell his right from his left.

After holding a bilateral meeting in the Oval office with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, the two leaders walked out to the Rose Garden podiums. That's when the left-right two-step happened. Mr. Obama took his place behind the right podium, leaving President Lee a bit confused. He smiled as Obama realized the mistake and switched to the left podium.

That oops moment alone wouldn't have deserved a write-up, but for the fact that there was more confusion after the press availability. After thanking reporters, Obama and Lee turned and walked back toward the Oval Office. Oops again! Reggie Love, President Obama's personal assistant, stepped in and the two leaders pivoted before making the long walk along the colonnade.

Very confusing for Ears. Just like the confused leftist dolts that think the nazi scumbag Holocaust Museum shooter is a righty.

And yet if it were President Bush, the media would be calling him a moron, half-wit, etc, etc, etc.

B.Hussein Obama is so far in over his head that when he looks up all he sees is a tiny opening at the entrance to the well.

I hope someone is keeping a video and photo library all every single stumble and goof this moron does.

They'll make a fortune selling a multi DVD collection of Obama blunders, each disc a 2 hour blunder packed movie.

Obama has already made Bush seen like royalty, and he's only been in office 6 months!

Just think how funny it would have been for Obama to be reading the wrong teleprompter, in Japanese!

I saw a show on TV just a few days ago. It was slightly old: a repeat. It highlighted "stupid people doing stupid things" or some such theme. Of course, one of the featured clips was of President Bush approaching some ornate double doors, tugging on a handle and finding that the door would not move. So he stood there on camera and waited for someone to assist in some way. Pretty minor stuff. But this was (of course) an example of the stupidest-man-in-history-to-ever-occupy-the-White-House.

Meanwhile, we've had Obama treat a window like a door (BANG!), confuse his left and right, declare that there are 57 states, etc. But he gets a pass because he's so brilliant.

That’s exactly right. If Leno were still hosting he’d ride this mercilessly insinuating if not outright calling Bush an idiot. He constantly did that with Bush trying to open that locked door. Won’t hear anything of the sort concerning zer0.

Give the guy a break. Must have been warm, and the ‘left’ and ‘right’ labels on his shoes stopped adhering. Sheees!

Don’t forget when Zer0 doesn’t use his teleprompter.

Get him away from the teleprompter and he speaks worse than the left claimed President Bush did.
