Obama’s Momentum-Shifting Gaffe – It Is Dishonorable, Disgraceful, Deceitful

“Without the telepromters in front of him, Obama has been making a number of gaffes when he talks off the cuff. I can see it nowIn Iran when Obama speaks to …

I read this one in an abc news reporter’s blog last week … this is before the latest bunch this weekend.

It’s Payback for Bosnia sniper fire.

I usually warn against payback, but this is truly a fair form of that time-honored political tactic.

Very good point about all of the links being from blogs.

you really can’t expect msm to do it’s job can you.

It has been so many years since there real reporters checked facts and did research, that most of todays so called reporters would not know where to begin.

the right to a free press has been used so unwisely, that I do not know if they will ever be trusted again.

Obama’s camp said he misspoke. They said it was another concentration camp and it was a great uncle, his grandmother’s brother who is living now in Chicago. THey say the gist of the story is true. I say he blew things out of proportion to make himself look like he’s from a patriotic family because of John McCain. His supporters will give him a pass on this just like all his other gaffes and lies.

MSM is gasping it’s last breath….Folks just don’t trust em thanks to inbedding and corruption….Good Post…Barry Queen of Snots has fucked up again…

Obama is fine at giving pre-written, self focused speeches. When it comes down to speaking without a script – as during the debates – he does not shine. The media is so afraid of being un-PC, that they will never point out his weaknesses. I am thankful for this website.

I walked in from work and heard him talking about it on a replay (Dobbs) and it was fairly obvious to me just by watching and listening to him that he was LYING. I think he’s fairly easy to read. He stammers and pauses quite a bit when he’s “fibbing”!

So much for his “family stories”…unless, of course, he’s Russian, as well. BWAHAHAHA!

A blog devoted to caucus cheating.

http://caucuscheating.blogspot.com/

I just sent a letter to the editor of my papaer which also is Rep Robert wexler’s paper. In Florida here, he introduced Obama to his Jewish constituency. I bet they don’t publish it as they’ve yet to publish anything I’ve written about Hillary. Otherwise, they’ve printed letters from me alot. But, there are many more outlets here for the Jewish community. I haven’t begun to write! Get it?

even the site you link to says he used “clintonesque lies”

geeshe, it never ends

“Barack Obama is a CHRONIC CONFABULATOR”

and Taylor Marsh’s

“Obama had the entire traditional media as fluffers,… “

are
the quotes of the month in my book

this is becoming too rich. with this guy running all the words in the american dictionary will be turn

Well does this really suprise anyone. You have to watch him for moments of the real Obama. He is who he is and if these idiots elect him we will all be sorry. On a positive note, I’m getting popular enough to get some Obama trolls on my blog. I feel so special

I know this may sound trivial compared to Obama’s lies, but has anyone noticed his grammar? He has a continual problem with subject/verb agreement, and he is also plagued by run-on sentences. I can’t even read some of his quotes. He has serious trouble speaking without a script that someone else has written for him.

This guy is no genius friends. I don’t care if he graduated from Harvard or Hell! The man’s use of the English language is less than acceptable for someone who wishes to be POTUS. I think he’s dyslexic. It reminds me of another less than stellar individual by the name of Bush.

You guys are so mean. Quit picking on Obama. It’s not his fault, he went to school in Indonesia.

I think he hit the trifeca this week. He sees dead people, he panders to Jews by accusing them of McCarthyism, and he adopted a new uncle who fought for the Red Army in WW2.

you are all scared and, according to this news story, desperate. have fun losing in November, ’cause I think you know deep down you’re going to.

The fact is Obama lied, for his camp to come now with the lame story it was another camp and his great uncle who is really going to check the fact certainly not the MSM, they have already let it pass and hope its forgotten by tomorrow.

You will not hear that it was political pandering, you will not hear that he is playing to the Jew votes, you will hear nothing of the sort from the MSM, that only happens if it was something said by either Bill or Hillary.

I really cannot understand how anyone in their right minds can nominate a candidate that has the greatest percentage of losing and election, but yet this is what the media is feeding up when all indications are there that he will lose, it is really a sad state of affairs in this nation, and when he does lose the media will never carry that blame they will write stories on everything else that made that happen, but not on will say that the public told them so.

Bingo. Proves my point. That the MSM has an agenda. Most progressive/liberal blogs said the MSM were no good. Liars.

When the so called liberal websites choose to ignore things they can.

Like how Americablog can ignore Obama’s ties with groups that “fix” gays? Groups that lead to suicide in the gay community. Why? There were no excuses for anyone else.

They wonder why Hillary is still in the race while not objecting to the b*tch, wh*re, and c*nt references.

Where’s the outrage about that?

They wonder why Hillary supporters don’t just give up.

What do they want?

I’ll tell you what us real progressives want.

Equality for all.

Human rights for all (even women). Worldwide. Because Women’s rights are Human rights.

Real programs with details about how to implement them.

No exclusion of any group(s) of people because you think they’re gun-toting racists. The MLK model.

You’re not getting our votes unless you stop, apologize, and listen to our concerns.

We’re just average Americans and not stereotypes. Guess you can’t deal with that.

I say he blew things out of proportion to make himself look like he’s from a patriotic family because of John McCain.

actually, he was trying to create the impression that he had a “personal” understanding of the need for veterans health care — especially mental health care services.

And that looks like the big lie to me…. check the phrasing

I had an uncle who was one of the — who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps. And the story in our family was is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn’t leave the house for six months.
Right, now, obviously, something had really affected him deeply. But at that time, there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain.

And that’s why, you know, this idea of making sure that every single veteran, when they are discharged, are screened for post- traumatic stress disorder and given the mental health services that they need — that’s why it’s so important.

now, this was apparently a great uncle on his mothers side who Obama probably never met — the phrasing “the story in our family” suggests that he himself never even heard the story, rather it was the kind of thing that campaigns get from interviews with relatives when they are looking for anecdotes they can use or potential trouble for the candidate. (If he’d known the uncle, it wouldn’t have been described as ‘the story in our family…”

But the really dishonest part is that Obama tries to make the need for mental health services “personal” — that he isn’t just pandering to the veterans in the audience, but has a direct connection to their suffering. And he doesn’t — its just some third hand anecdote that was very possibly a source of amusement among family members….

It’s time to turn the table. Actually, this is long overdue…

Instead of the Obamabots and polluted MSM (my hero, Lou Dobbs, excepted of course) sounding the incessant drum beat for Hillary to withdraw from the campaign, we need to begin to ask that of Barky.

When, oh when, will Barky grow a pair and realize that he is in over his head and for the sake of mankind, admit that he has no business running for President of the United States.

No wonder they wanted Hillary to quit after Super Tuesday – the longer this goes on, the worse he looks.

Senator Obama, why are you still in this race? Obama followers, how can you possibly still support him?

Geez.

UPDATE: Breaking News from the eastern, er western front!

Not Auschwitz, not Buchenwald, its OHRDUF

Obama’s World War II history

Earlier, the Republican National Committee pounced on Obama’s improbable statement that an uncle had served in the unit that liberated Auschwitz.

In fact, campaign spokesman Bill Burton says, his great uncle was a member of the 89th Infantry Division that liberated the Ohrduf camp, part of Buchenwald and according to the Holocaust Museum, the first concentration camp liberated by U.S. troops.

The soldier in question, Burton said, is Obama’s grandmother’s brother, who’s still alive.

OBAMA’S LATEST MISCALCULATION:

Obama Lamely Rejects McCain’s Proposal for Joint Trip to Iraq

http://hotair.com/archives/2008/05/27/obama-rejects-mccains-proposal-for-a-joint-trip-to-iraq/

What’s he afraid of (besides his own shadow)? Just one more example of Obambi avoiding anything to do with the troops.

I bet Hillary would make that trip with McCain.

who cares

I think so many of these young bloggers and Obama supporters really don’t have a historical perspective. They take everything this man says as absolute truth. Whether it be WWII, the history of women’s lives before the vote, after the vote or before the feminist movement, and even of the Carter years, which I remember all too well. I was a young mother with two babies living in cramped quarters and no way of moving because of hellish mortgage rates. Foreign policy was a wreck and the economy was in the tank. It’s not that Carter wasn’t well-meaning and bright. He was simply ill-suited to the job. And frankly, I think his advisors were awful. I have the same dread when I think of Obama at the helm.

In any case, you get a skewed devotion from BO supporters to a man and a campaign that has played loose with the facts, misspoken and pretended that “they” have the answer to all ills. There’s something very creepy in referring to any politician as, “The One.” As if any one man or woman had all the answers, can solve all problems, can be everything to everyone. I’m not looking for the Messiah. We need a President, a competent one.

It’s all going to hit the fan at some point. I pray it’s before the convention and if not, please God, before the November election.

God I can’t wait for this election to be over, so that i never have to hear about Barrage Obullshit again.

Obama also saw dead people at his speech in New Mexico, this guy is an Idiot.

Not so sure about ‘confabulator’. ‘Bullshit artist’ however is spot on.

Someday, countless books will be written about how the media did not do its job in vetting the hollow man that is Barack Obama

Only if there’s money in it and only if the media are no longer under obligation to their employers.

Here’s the problem — here is why Obama made the mistake talking about the flag on his “father’s” coffin, not his grandfather, and how he got this one wrong, as well.

It’s because these stories that Axelrove is asking him to insert into his speeches and comments, are not really part of his life. His media advisors say.. ‘oh, Obama you’re slipping with Veterans, so here’s the line to say about your grandfather’. Obama is now courting the Jewish vote, so there is the story about his grand uncle and the Nazi death camp.

His untruths about his father being part of the Kennedy school program was wrong. His comments about the Selma march and his parents, wrong also.

He’s messing up because it’s not part of him. He makes very real mistakes when talking about deep subjects because he’s trying to remember his talking points. They may have been things in his family’s past, but they are nothing more than talking points to his media advisors. Do you think that any of us would forget something that has so much significance in our lives?? Of course not.

He is GWB all over again. Though he is smarter than George, he is just as empty as Bush and being refilled daily by his media advisors and speechwriters. Considering all of his “best” lines are written by those guys.. why would anyone be shocked by his constant mistakes when he is without a telepromter.

I just can’t bear the idea that Americans (especially Dems) could be that stupid as to push another image candidate on us. Haven’t we learned our lessons about that?

Obama, the Gaffe-o-Rama

I think so many of these young bloggers and Obama supporters really don’t have a historical perspective.

That’s not exactly going out on a limb! And it’s a tragedy – because they can engineer a real tragedy in their self centered stupidity.

They take everything this man says as absolute truth.

I don’t think it’s at all hard to see through him. I’ve said before it takes but ten seconds. I’ve had several people report this. My my – the first time voter. David Axelrod hit paydirt.

In any case, you get a skewed devotion from BO supporters to a man and a campaign that has played loose with the facts

Facts? FACTS? Who needs obscene things like facts? He stands for hope and change!

There’s something very creepy in referring to any politician as, “The One.”

No shit, darlin’!

We need a President, a competent one.

You need a good administrator. Sheep need a leader; you need an administrator. It’s about trust as Hill would say.

Obama also saw dead people at his speech in New Mexico, this guy is an Idiot.

He’s punch drunk. Way punch drunk. He’s never had to work so hard in his life. Some say he’s never before had to work period.

He cannot go the fifteen rounds. This if anything should make the lights go on at the DNC. But they’re already in the pockets of Axelrod, Soros, and the Pritzkers so it isn’t much to hope. For the way they see it: they have everything to win and everything to lose both. The alternative? There is none. Watch the subprime mess get unraveled with someone else at the helm. Watch those fat cats take a trip up the river. To them it has to be McCain or Barry. You can’t buy Hillary and she will bury your backside if she can. They simply cannot give up; they simply must use all the tricks in the book; they simply must continue to apply the thumbscrews every chance they can. They have no alternative.

I wish Obama’s exaggerations and lies would make a difference in how people view him, but alas, I don’t think it will. In fact, I think they will ultimate blame Hillary for staying in the race and making Obama tired. It will somehow be her fault that he “misspoke.”

Maybe I’m getting bitter and need to cling to my guns and religion to feel better, but to the MSM, BO is teflon.

He just so much reminds me of Bush.

Has the Obama camp given out the name of this great uncle that served in the army, they seem to be saying Obama is so proud of his family military history, but why are they not telling us the name of this wonderful man that saved the Jews?

Maybe Obama cant remember his great uncle’s name, they say he is still alive yet not one mention of his name.

SusanUnPC:

In the paper questionnaire that was sent by the DNC one of the 17 questions was : where do you mainly get your news from

(1) TV
(2) Newspapers
(3) Internet/Blogs
(4) News Magazines
(5) Radio
(6) Other

I bet you that just I did; a large part of respondents marked (3) Internet/Blogs.

The first fight is for more and more and of the good blogs to be known, to grow and have an impact.

The rest will come.

As for Obama’s manipulative despicable lie today: he
should pay dearly politically. We must all ensure that. And all the clowns and punks justifying it
or laughing this off should be harshly exposed one by one: all of them need to be publicly shamed.

Let’s start the list for a “Post of Shame”

Hey everyone this is how demented barkys followers are. The following comment was posted at Foxness.com to the story of barky lying abut his uncle.

“Comment by JontyPTraveler
May 27th, 2008 at 3:26 pm

I had a High School Principle who told me about his unit being the first at Auschwitz. What the author seems not to realize is that there was a great deal of chaos at the fall of the Reich. The US sent forces into several places that were later given to the Soviets to “liberate”. While the research facilities at Peenemünde are perhaps the most well known, according to the testimony of a man I respect and trust, Auschwitz is also one of those locations. He told me that the US forces lined up the German guards and machine gunned them all… Perhaps that is why it was never recorded in official history.”

The excused they come up with!

Obama continues to confabulate because he knows he can get away with it. It doesn’t matter to him or his handlers, as young Obamatons believe every word he says without question, and the press and media have been in the tank for him and challenge nothing.

As long as he can flip flop, lie, invent, Potemkinize, with the MSM remaining compliant, we can expect more inventions and inaccuraciesand bold lying.

So far no one has called out this fraud.

This great-uncle, Charles W. Payne ( born ABT 1924 ), brother of Obama’s typical white grandmother is said to have served in the 89th Infantry Division, US 3rd Army which liberated Ohrdruf ( part of Buchenwald ) on Apr. 4, 1945.

I cannot find any record of his service. Can someone with military records expertise help???

Obama the gaffe machine, no surprise. But I am horrified that anyone is making excuses for his ignorance and stupidity and entirely offensive recent “mistake.”

But then again, here he is looking presidential. Showing off his hard-on to the reporters on the plane.
.

What else could Americans want out of a leader?

obama is an idiot.

This great-uncle, Charles W. Payne ( born ABT 1924 ), brother of Obama’s typical white grandmother is said to have served in the 89th Infantry Division, US 3rd Army which liberated Ohrdruf ( part of Buchenwald ) on Apr. 4, 1945.

I cannot find any record of his service. Can someone with military records expertise help???

Yes, I’ve been wondering about this myself. WAPO seems to have the verification from the Obama campaign only. Do we know the great uncle is real and really served as claimed?!!

Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buchenwald – they’re all the same. Places where atrocities were committed by the evil Nazis against innocent men, women, and children. Places that needed to be liberated.

So what if Obama misspoke and his great-uncle really helped liberate Buchenwald instead of Auschwitz? If he’s gracious enough to take Hillary Clinton at her word on the whole “assassination” thing, then we as decent folk ought to step up to the plate and be able to accept a minor thing like a misspeak on which exact concentration camp it was. For all we know, that may have been what he heard from his family who misheard it from him.

Unless of course you’re a crasshole who doesn’t have any sense of human decency to forgive a simple mistake. Look, if you don’t like Obama, use his policies, his record, his stances on the issues. Don’t be bringing up racist shit. You know who you are. Shame on you!

Playing backwards Obama Golf (from Corrente):

0. Obama mentioned Auschwitz and his uncle
1. people were gassed at Aushwitz
2. Obama wants his communist uncle to gas Hillary

You know, his gaffes remind me of Bush during the 2000 campaign, when asked about Pakistan, replied something to the effect that they had elected their leader and isn’t Democracy great? (I am paraphrasing here, of course). The gist of the matter was that Dubya didn’t even KNOW that Musharraf (sp?) had gotten his position through a military coup! And it’d been the headlines for at least a day or two prior to the reporter asking him this. Um, Presidents are expected to know little details like this, but we’ve seen how much Dubya cares about any of that even to this day.

Makes me wonder more and more about B.O.’s ability to lead anything.

Two more Hillary or McCain–no other option–bitter, clingy white folks here.

I am afraid that Obama was born without empathy and has been unable to acquire any along the way. For most people, learning about concentration camps is a searing experience. If a relative was involved in liberating prisoners from camps it would be unforgettable. If you had empathy that is.

Yet with him, it’s just, “Oh, isn’t he cute? Hahaha, he made a boo-boo.”
====

exactly, hillary’smygirl!

On the WaPo blog they are tearing up the journalist who listed Obama’s latest lies even tho he downgraded the lies and made excuses for them.

Sickening.

So here’s a question. If CNN, MSNBC, WAPo, NYT, LATimes et al are so fucking misogynistic bad (and they are), why not use that against them? Why not stage a up yours jerks ‘boycott the media” day? Maybe we should do it the day of the DNC meeting, May 31, and just turn off our televisions, and avoid their websites for the whole day. Of course, we should email these outlets in droves or post on their blogs to let them know we will only watch Fox and read Taylor Marsh, No Quarter, and other blogs on May 31. We as a collective are turning down Obama and the media since they are ignoring 17 million of us. The MSM, once they get wind of what we’re up to, can tell their advertisers they won’t have shit for an audience to turn down their media buy for the day. Or maybe we should just contact the big sponsors ourselves and say we aren’t watching the clowns MSM until they actually provide some UNBIASED coverage. What do you think?

OK, this is getting boring. Other people post links but this place always rejects my comments with links…and I hate not giving links.

Someone ASKED for this link but HEY. WTF ever. Too bad…apparently, I can’t give links.

Here’s the damned answer and if you want the link, just google it yourself. It’s not that hard….Obama’s 2002 Auschwitz blunder:

Barack Obama spoke about Auschwitz back in 2002 in his speech against the Iraq War:

My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton’s army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil, and he did not fight in vain. I don’t oppose all wars.
Newsmax reported on this back in April:

All this would be great if it weren’t pure fiction. For starters, the Nazis destroyed the Treblinka death camp in 1943 after shooting the last prisoners, a group of Jewish girls.

Then there is the problem of the locations of Treblinka and Auschwitz. Both Nazi death camps were located inside Poland. Thus, no American troops ever entered the camps until years after the war was over.

Auschwitz was taken by the Soviet Union after the Nazis evacuated most of the prisoners. The retreating Nazis left those too weak or sick to walk behind. The 322nd Rifle Division of the Red Army liberated them on Jan. 27 1945.
So, it’s not the first time he talked about US soldiers at Auschwitz.
It’s just the first time he mentioned that his crazy uncle was there.

I can’t stand Bambi but I will give him the benefit of the doubt. He is running for the President and he made a mistake at a speech. I know he is a liar but anyone could make the mistake he did. I am more concerned that he is using Republican talking points about Unions, Social Security, and health care. I don’t care if he wants to polish his family history a little that is minor when compared to his destructive policy positions.

I find it incredible that we have another Rev. Wright clone in the pulpit of the Trinity United Church. Same invectives, same gyrations, flailing of hands, spins, crouches. Like some kind of strange, native dance in the jungle. And in the background: wild stomping, people out of their seats, clapping and shouting their approval.

This Obama character seems to dismiss this insanity in degrees…depending on how much political damage he assesses it is causing him with each new revelation. He thinks his slick rhetoric and his snake-oil salesman approach to anything and everything…will quell the firestorm all of these continuing spectacles are creating for his campaign. Well…he is dead wrong…!!!

The guy is a loser. Big time. And the Democrats, by foisting him up as their “agent of change” of hope, and of peace…are going to have egg all over their face…come election time…when voters who have refrained from the “Kool-Aid” dispenser…reject him at the polls in droves.
