OK, picture this: President George W. Bush, he of the cast-iron Texas tongue, at a news conference concluding an international summit.
He's asked about a dispute involving Argentina and Great Britain, our closest overseas ally, the one that's lost 408 soldiers by our side in Afghanistan, where we've fought a decade together to prevent a second 9/11.
In his answer, Bush refers to the disputed territory by the wrong name, misplacing the islands by some 8,000 miles. Worse than his geographic ignorance, instead of backing Britain, whose prime minister he just buddy-buddied at an NCAA game and White House state dinner, Bush says, Well, that's not really something he thinks the United States would take sides on.
Britain?
Or Argentina?
Seriously?
Do you think there might be some prolonged outraged news coverage back home about the latest Bush blunder, this time a two-fer?
Well, Bush never did that. But Barack Obama did last weekend.
We've seen ample coverage of the Colombian prostitute situation since. But have you been impressed by the media mockings of this latest international stupidity by the 44th United States president, who's previously talked about such things as the Austrian language, the president of Canada, E Pluribus Unum the national motto and traveling all 57 states?

They say that eating dogmeat went to Obama’s head and he was humping her leg.
My leftist friends get more upset w me when I mock and laugh at Obama as opposed to being angry.
Laughing at obamas illiteracy is far more effective than anything else.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
Absolutely! I refuse to take 0bama or his devotees seriously. I treat them like four year olds who have said something outrageously naive and funny. (no disrespect meant to 4 yr olds)
Angers the Brits!? I used to care about them, but after watching them swirl down the toilet for the last ten years, who cares? They are already beyond hope!
That's bumper sticker material.
"OBAMA - Shovel ready"
It's probably been done already.
The left people I know are pretty dang quite about zero these days.
How can anyone with a brain fail to see he is extraordinarily incompetent - on top of being DEAD WRONG!
You need to understand that liberals fall in love with their politicians. we seek agents to do what we want, the liberals seek messiahs. Big difference.
Think he even managed to upset the Argentinians with that one. Maybe he was trying to wag the dog he ate ?
Stupidity....
A short time I ago, one of my lib sisters was cackling about all the gaffes attributed to Dubya. Of course the media never failed to loudly broadcast every one of them. I then related to her the many gaffes of Obama. She was surprised, she had never heard those gaffes. Gee, I thought, how strange, the media hadn’t reported Obama’s gaffes. (smirk)
*schruggs*...don’t know..*smiles*
You are correct about snubbing the Brits. That decides it: I'm more POed about that than the "gaffe."
