The media’s got a fee-vah and the only prescription is more “refudiate”

Obama Gives Shout Out to ‘Congressional Medal of Honor Winner’ Who Isn’t

Crow’s name is not included on the Society’s Medal of Honor recipient list.  He was, however, awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, in August.

Obama, often described as “cerebral” by the mainstream media, should know the difference between the Medal of Honor and the Medal of Freedom, especially since he personally awarded the latter to Crow.  Don’t expect his blunder to receive wide coverage.  It’s not something he can blame George Bush for

….after the shout out to Crow he finally got around to addressing the terrorist attack at FT. Hood.

…..Bows to just about anybody.

When will Barack Obama get some competent assistance from his Office of Protocol? Obama has already embarrassed himself by executing deep-waisted bows to Saudi King Abdullah and Japan’s Emperor Akihito. Now he’s extending the show of submissiveness to … American mayors?

U.S. President Barack Obama bows to Tampa Mayor Pam Iorio at MacDill Air Force Base on Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010 in Tampa, Fla.

President Obama, in his taping with Jay Leno Thursday afternoon, attempted to yuk it up with the funnyman, and ended up insulting the disabled.

He bowled a 129, the president said.
“That’s very good, Mr. President,” Leno said sarcastically.
It’s “like the Special Olympics or something,” the president said</blockquote>

….my dog can bowl a freaking 129 and still not make fun of disabled people.

Your Insurance Premiums Will Decrease by 3,000% Under Obamacare

How many people are getting insurance through their jobs right now? Raise your hands. All right, well, a lot of those folks, your employer, it’s estimated, would see premiums fall by as much as 3000%, which means they could give you a raise!

Whoa!!!!!….3000%…..all economist agree with me don’t cha know.

Barack Obama not only managed to screw up a poem that has been an American gem for over 130 years, he also mangled the history of the Statue of Liberty — and inadvertently snubbed the French as a result.

Obama incorrectly reciting the famous line as “yearning to be free” instead of “yearning to breathe free.”

Lazarus didn’t raise funds to build the statue.  She raised funds to build the pedestal, on which the US government had balked at spending public money:

…Dam# Obama’s smart!!!!

we have heard now for years how great Obama is from you “smart ones”.
….and we have heard over…and …over….and…over from liberals about how dam# smart he is to:

(via Instapundit)

Alito’s protest came when the president said: “With all due deference to separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections. (Applause.) … And I’d urge Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to correct some of these problems.”
….as usual….Obama does not know what he is talking about….

….Sigh…..Constitutional genius you know….

But the Court did not overturn “a century of law.” The provision upended by the Court was only seven years old. It was a novel innovation of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law adopted during the Bush Administration.

Former Constitutional Lawyer Makes Up Constitutional Quotes During SOTU Address

In last night’s State of the Union Address, President Obama said:

We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal…

Um, wrong founding document, Mr. President. It is in our Declaration of Independence that we read:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech.

.
…Obama is a Geography genius also….

Obama tried to salute the US by pointing out that we treat immigrants different than other countries do … like, say, that big country across the pond called Europe:

And one of the problems with our brilliant President is that he’s apparently never learned that Europe isn’t actually a country, but a continent which contains many countries.

…I bet he also thinks Europe might tip over like Guam.

..and Obama is a medical genius to…

like mammograms and colonoscopies — (applause) — because there’s no reason we shouldn’t be catching diseases like breast cancer and prostate cancer on the front end.

Does that “make sense”?  Only if you flunked medical school.  Colonoscopies don’t detect prostate cancer; they give an early warning of colon cancer. 

Obama: I want to be president of all 57 states

Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”

Obama’s safety net: the TelePrompter

President Barack Obama doesn’t go anywhere without his TelePrompter.

…..because having to have your every word spelled out and presented to you is a sign of real intelligence in liberal land……

Businesses will hire if they can get loans to cover payroll
Obama:

It’s looking better at this point, but that’s not the rationale for people saying, “I’m not hiring.” Let me put it this way.  Most small businesses, right now — if they’ve got enough customers to make a profit and they can get the bank loans required to boost their payroll, boost their inventory and sell to the customers, they will do so, OK?

Er, no.  While businesses use loans to bridge gaps between purchasing inventory and sales, and to ensure continuity of payroll in some instances, they don’t buy extra inventory and hire extra people unless they know that the demand will meet the supply. 

….this is considered high intelligence to liberals….

Obama’s on fire:

Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.

Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic

And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm

President Obama and Economics 101

“What you’re now seeing is a profit and earnings ratios get to the point that buying stocks is a good thing if you have a long-term perspective on it,” he said to reporters after meeting in the Oval Office with visiting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Shouldn’t a President of the US know that “P/E Ratio” means “price-to-earnings ratio,” not “profit and earnings ratio?” There is a difference.

Confirmed: DVDs that Obama gave Gordon Brown are the wrong format

“And I believe the nation that invented the automobile cannot walk away from it.”

State of the Union Address

…we did not invent the automobile genius….

Obama: Corpsman

However, after the first time “corpseman” came out of his mouth, any speaker with even a passing knowledge of the military would have realized that the word had been mispronounced. After the second one, it should have been obvious. Instead, Obama went for the hat trick:

One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world — Navy Corpsman Christian [sic] Brossard. And lying on a gurney aboard the USNS Comfort, a woman asked Christopher: “Where do you come from? What country? After my operation,” she said, “I will pray for that country.” And in Creole, Corpsman Brossard responded, “Etazini.” The United States of America.

God’s grace, and the compassion and decency of the American people is expressed through the men and women like Corpsman Brossard.

Next time, maybe a White House staffer should make sure that all of the hard words really are spelled phonetically — or maybe our Commander in Chief should familiarize himself with the nation’s military instead.

“Let me be absolutely clear,” Sen. Barack Obama,

D-Illinois, said today at a press conference in Amman, Jordan. “Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain…administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.”

…..No Letterman jokes or the ladies on the view expressing how this proves what an idiot Obama is….

No Washington Post articles or liberal pundits using these as evidence that Obama is not ready for prime time.

…can’t have it both ways liberals….if gaffes are proof of ignorance…..

…..then Obama is the King of Stupid.
