Classic!
Obama has a few awkward moments responding to a roisterer during a speech and Kate tries to trump it up into some sort of a debacle.
Desperate much? Grasping at straws much?
This place is going to be a treasure trove of comedy over the next five months!
Thanks for the laughs! Looking forward to more!
Another great gaffe here. Obama wants to give kids breathalyzers. Dan Quayle must just shake his head in wonder. Obama "out potato'd" him a long time ago.

Posted by: texan at June 9, 2008 6:46 PMPolik,
you are right. It's not as funny as when GWB said
"There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."
No wonder the MSM played that one over and over and over and...but that's OK, heh.
Ya thats right, Polik. It will be a "treasure trove of comedy". Obumer will be providing the chuckles and we'll be chucklin. Hey Haw!!!

And want some real laughs polik?
See what this kind of comedy is doing to Ontario.
And if you look real close - the laughs get even better.
Hey, it takes a special talent to keep talking about nothing while trying to remember what you are supposed to be saying. I see a future for him in broadcasting

We need the 'media' to stop scrubbing this guy. After all, if they scrub TOO hard they will find he is white underneath all that 'black' and the where would they be with their 'first black candidate for president by a major party' schtick.
With Tony going to jai, Wllliam firing up the college kids and Wright and Pfleger wringing their hands and sucking on socks , how long can the media carry this guy by burying all the video they can find that makes it clear he cannot talk and by all accounts, cannot think either.
Our mothers always told us 'You are known by the company you keep"
Obama keeps very strange company for a guy who wants to be the president of the United States and the leader of the Free World.
He did not say "nu-ke-lar" , so he is a genius to Liberals...
Posted by: Friend of USA at June 9, 2008 8:07 PMHis handlers must insist that he sticks to reading what is on the teleprompter. Back in 1974 another a silver tongued presenter got in trouble when he tried to spice things up and go it alone.
Lou Grant: Where do you get off changing Murray's copy?
Ted Baxter: It was flat, Lou! I didn't change the facts, I just jazzed up the language.
Lou Grant: Jazzed up? Jazzed up? Ted, you do not change the wording of a direct quote. And I do not believe that the Queen of England calls the French Ambassador "The Dude from Frog Town."
This should not be an excuse to abolish affirmative action outright as many will suggest. Everyone makes mistakes, and it won’t matter if the next American president can’t put two words together, he will only be a puppet for his Islamic masters and socialist peers. More so than his “white” America hating wife and “white” American hating pastor that he has temporarily thrown under a bus to prove “he don’t fly with those dogs”.
Obamba was never groomed to lead, he was groomed to represent. His representation is for a “new” America that truly will leave the old behind. That means you the founding Judean Christian stock (of all races and ethnic backgrounds) that created a one nation under god common goal and strived to be the best in every possible capacity! Once anyway.
http://www.rightwingnews.com/mt331/2008/02/obamas_accomplishments.php
As stated if ever elected, his inaugural speech will be some 45 years to the day of Martin Luther Kings “I have a dream speech”. Coincidence?
If so America’s future is clearly in the hands of others, not it’s people.
It's a little disconcerting that he can't follow through a thought. I wonder who's sock puppet he is.
Posted by: kelly at June 9, 2008 8:31 PMIt seems to me that a lot of his popularity comes from his skin color. Many people talking about the historical significance. I personally being color blind see only another run of the mill socialist that promises the moon on other peoples money.

Watch him be sheltered by his handlers from informal, or spontaneous, situations in the upcoming presidential.
Posted by: RW at June 9, 2008 8:39 PMI wonder what point kate is trying to make here.

But at least he was right about Iraq.

Posted by: RW at June 9, 2008 8:44 PMThe list of the Obamessiah's abilities is endless. Now he can change evolution.
"...identify Obama as a Lightworker, that rare kind of attuned being who has the ability to lead us not merely to new foreign policies or health care plans or whatnot, but who can actually help usher in a new way of being on the planet, of relating and connecting and engaging with this bizarre earthly experiment. These kinds of people actually help us evolve.

What's with "Obammmma's bootay"? Is that an attempt at humour by referencing something I'm not familiar with? If so, let me in on it - I'd love to share the joke.
Surely you didn't go to the trouble of posting simply to make another "Hey, you're gonna be surprised when my guy beats your guy!" comment, as so many others have done. The only difference in your post is the "Obammmma's bootay" stuff.
Is that your attempt to be witty, or hip or colloquial, or what?

“What's with "Obammmma's bootay"? Is that an attempt at humour by referencing something I'm not familiar with?”
It sounds more like an attempt at freedom of expression that only a left wing nut would try to suppress. I get the feeling there is allot to life “polik” may “not be familiar with”.
But I suppose with all lefty flakes you need to pull out the politically correct dictionary in order to paint a socialist, affirmative action black supremacist lacky like Obamba with the right brush. Look at his pastor and wife, it’s all there.
"Hey, you're gonna be surprised when my guy beats your guy!"
Sounds very similar to “boliks” comments about McCain on SDA post June 02 2008 - Martyr For His Faith.
“No, Obama sure isn't perfect.
But considering that his opponent is an albino geriatric dwarf continuing the policies of the most hated President in US history, he doesn't have to be, right?”
What happened to the political correctness there????? Bloody idiot.

Posted by: atheist quebecois separatiste at June 9, 2008 8:43 PM
Au contraire mon ami. If he had had his way Saddam today would be well on his way to developing nuclear weapons.
Further, he said the Surge would make matters worse. In fact the Surge has been a huge success. Not only was Obama spectacularly wrong about the most important question facing the United States in the last two years he continues to be wrong and he is too arrogant to admit it.
Even now with it clear that the pacification of Iraq is nearly complete he wants to throw it all away. Instead of successfully completing the mission of pacifying Iraq he would attempt to concede the fate of Iraqis to the tender mercies of Al Qaeda and Iran rather than be guided by advice from his Generals. He prefers his own uninformed rhetoric to the opinions of professionals.
He would do what an uninformed public wants rather than what is in the long term interests of Iraq and the United States.
This is followership from a pathetic panderer, not leadership. If he wins the honeymoon will be short lived.
He is not fit to be POTUUS. (And he can"t think on his feet.)
He is, however, very good at reading vacuous speeches.
Posted by: Terry Gain at June 9, 2008 10:09 PMObama will be worse than Jimmah Carter for this time the consequences will be far larger and much more significant than the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
In that instance, if it were not for Canadians, I shudder to think what would have happened.
This time Iran has much more up it's sleeve than taking hostages. A couple of nukes lobbed in the right direction simultaneously would spell disaster for the whole world. If Obama gets elected Iran WILL because the will know they CAN and get away with it.
The stakes are huge and Obama cannot speak on his feet let alone think.
atheist quebecois separatiste.."But at least he was right about Iraq."
Mr. Obama “being right on Iraq” is irrelevant. In 2002 Mr. Obama (still in Chicago) had the same access to national intelligence information as you or I. His stance on Iraq (when it really mattered in 2002) at best was an uninformed opinion. However, Mr. McCain and Ms. Clinton both had access to national intelligence briefings. We know how they both voted initially don’t we.

Barack Obama
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama
"Barack" and "Obama" redirect here. For other uses, see Barack (disambiguation) and Obama (disambiguation).
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (pronounced /bəˈrɑːk hʊˈseɪn oʊˈbɑːmə/; born August 4, 1961) is the junior United States Senator from Illinois and the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party in the 2008 presidential election. He is the first African American to be the presumptive presidential nominee of any major American political party.
A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Obama worked as a community organizer, taught constitutional law, and worked as a civil rights attorney before serving in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004. Following an unsuccessful bid for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000, he announced his campaign for the U.S. Senate in January 2003. After winning a landslide primary victory in March 2004, Obama delivered the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 with 70% of the vote.
As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, he cosponsored legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In the current 110th Congress, he has sponsored legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for returned U.S. military personnel. Since announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama has emphasized ending the war in Iraq, increasing energy independence, decreasing the influence of lobbyists, and providing universal health care as top national priorities.
Early life and career
Main article: Early life and career of Barack Obama
Obama was born on August 4, 1961, at the Kapiolani Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Obama, Sr., of Nyangoma-Kogelo, Siaya District, Kenya, and Ann Dunham, of Wichita, Kansas, who was largely descended from pre-revolutionary British settlers to the United States, although her great-great-grandfather Falmouth Kearney emigrated from Ireland in the mid 19th century.[1][2] His parents met while both were attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student.[3] They separated when he was two years old and later divorced.[4] After her divorce, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, and the family moved to Soetoro's home country of Indonesia in 1967, where Obama attended local schools in Jakarta until he was ten years old.[2] He then returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents while attending Punahou School from the fifth grade until his graduation from high school in 1979.[5]
Following high school, Obama moved to Los Angeles, where he studied at Occidental College for two years.[6] He then transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations.[7] Obama graduated with a B.A. from Columbia in 1983, then worked at Business International Corporation and New York Public Interest Research Group.[8][9]
Mark steyn said: “In a January 2007 column in the Chicago Sun-Times, Steyn wrote that Barack Obama was a Muslim, “...raised in an Indonesian madrassah by radical imams.” He added, “The madrassah stuff was supposedly leaked to Insight Magazine… by Hillary Rodham Clinton’s team.”[16] “
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Steyn
-----------------
Mark Steyn, born in Canada in 1959, is a self-described conservative polemicist whose opinions on politics, arts and culture are published in newspapers, magazines and online. He appears regularly on politically conservative radio shows such as those of Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt and has authored five books, including America Alone, a New York Times bestseller. Steyn, a Canadian citizen, now resides mainly in New Hampshire in the United States. He is married with three children.[1] [edit] Career
According to Simon Mann in The Age, Steyn left school at 16 and spent early days in United Kingdom. After working as a disc-jockey, he began writing as an arts critic at London's newly established The Independent.[2] He became film critic for The Spectator in 1992. After writing predominantly about the arts, Steyn embraced political commentary and moved to The Daily Telegraph, a conservative London broadsheet.
Criticism of media
In a May 2004 column Steyn stated that The Daily Mirror and the Boston Globe published false pictures of British and American soldiers abusing Iraqis because editors were encouraging anti-Bush sentiments. Steyn argues that media only wanted to show images to westerners "that will shame and demoralize them."[14] Boston Phoenix media critic Dan Kennedy said that Steyn's column was an effort to "rally the spirits of his fellow warmongers: by demonizing anyone who dared to criticize the war."[15]
In a July, 2005 column for National Review, Steyn amplified his dislike for the media. He criticized Andrew Jaspan, the editor of the Australian newspaper,
In a January 2007 column in the Chicago Sun-Times, Steyn wrote that Barack Obama was a Muslim, “...raised in an Indonesian madrassah by radical imams.” He added, “The madrassah stuff was supposedly leaked to Insight Magazine… by Hillary Rodham Clinton’s team.”[16] Two days later, Lynn Sweet of the Sun-Times corrected Steyn regarding what she called the smear on Obama and the attack on Clinton. She wrote, “And there is no evidence whatsoever that Clinton's campaign had anything to do with spreading the damaging rumor that Obama hid a Muslim background.” Sweet noted the visit by CNN's John Vause to the state run elementary school that Obama attended from 1969 to 1971.[17]
Steyn has been a vocal critic of American journalism and the so-called j-school culture ostensibly entrenched in the journalism departments of many American universities, describing American newspapers as "the dullest in the world", and dismissing the idea of journalism as a profession to be studied. "When I started out in journalism, in Fleet Street, everybody I knew was only doing journalism because their lives had gone horribly wrong...and that's what happened to me. I
[edit] Conrad Black trial
Steyn wrote articles and maintained a blog[18] for Maclean's covering the 2007 Conrad Black fraud trial in Chicago. Questions were raised in the media over the objectivity of Steyn's coverage,[19] for example Andrew Clark of The Guardian referring to Steyn as one of Black’s "loyal supporters", quoted from Steyn’s Blog, “If it is bad news, I'm sorry I won't be there to support my old boss…”[20] Suanne Kelman wrote in the Literary Review of Canada[21] that the leader of Black's media cheering section at his Chicago trial was "above all Maclean’s Mark Steyn, in both the magazine and his logorrheic blog." Kelman stated that Steyn began coverage with the view that Black's trial was a "cruel farce". Mark Steyn has strongly denied unfair bias in his reporting.
Derogation of multiculturalism
Steyn has commented on divisions between the Western world and the Islamic World. He criticizes the tolerance of what he deems to be "Islamic cultural intolerance." Steyn says that multiculturalism only requires feeling good about other cultures and is "fundamentally a fraud, . . . subliminally accepted on that basis.[22] In Jewish World Review, Steyn argues "Multiculturalism means that the worst attributes of Muslim culture -- the subjugation of women -- combine with the worst attributes of Western culture -- licence and self-gratification." He explains, "I'm not a racist, only a culturist. I believe Western culture -- rule of law, universal suffrage, etc. -- is preferable to Arab culture ...." [23]
Christopher Hitchens believes that Steyn errs by “. . .considering European Muslim populations as one. Islam is as fissile as any other religion . . .and considerable friction exists among immigrant Muslim groups in many European countries. Moreover, many Muslims actually have come to Europe for the advertised purposes—seeking asylum and to build a better life.” [24]
Scott Horton, lawyer and Harper's writer, commented on Steyn's ethnic labels, including one that referred to Muslims as "sheep-shaggers." [25] According to Horton, "It would be quite an understatement to call this language “intolerant.” Indeed it can easily be paralleled with ethnic stigmatization that has occurred in the most vicious societies in modern times." [26]
[Two weeks after military operations began, Steyn wrote, “The war is over. … it's the Anglo-Aussie-American side who are the geniuses. Rumsfeld's view …has been vindicated…”[29] In 2004, he wrote, “Last year I thought the Americans won an amazing military victory in Iraq”[30] and "I don't think it's possible for anyone who looks at Iraq honestly to see it as anything other than a success story."[31]
In 2005, defending his analyses of Iraq, Steyn stated, “I got a lot of things wrong these last three years, but … I got the big stuff right.”[32]
For the fifth year of the Iraq War, Steyn reported, "To the Slow-Bleed Democrats, it's the Republicans' war. To an increasing number of what my radio pal Hugh Hewitt calls the White-Flag Republicans, it's Bush's war. To everyone else on the planet, it's America's war. And it will be America's defeat."[33]
[edit] Canadian Islamic Congress human rights complaint
Main article: Human rights complaints against Maclean's Magazine
In 2007, a complaint was filed with the Ontario Human Rights Commission related to an article "The Future Belongs to Islam", [34] written by Mark Steyn, published in Maclean's magazine. The complainants alleged that the article and Maclean’s refusal to provide space for a rebuttal violated their human rights. Further complaints were filed with the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission refused in April 2008 to proceed, saying it lacked jurisdiction to deal with magazine content. However, the Commission stated that it, “strongly condemns the Islamophobic portrayal of Muslims . . .. . . . Media has a responsibility to engage in fair and unbiased journalism.” [35] Critics of the Commission claimed that Maclean's and Steyn had been found guilty without a hearing. John Martin of The Province wrote, "There was no hearing, no evidence presented and no opportunity to offer a defence -- just a pronouncement of wrongdoing." [36]
From June 2 to June 6, 2008, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal heard a similar complaint made to it; a ruling is pending.
The complaint before the Canadian Human Rights Commission has not been dealt with in final form as of June 2008. However, on April 2, 2008, the head of the Commission issued a public letter to the editor of MacLeans magazine. In it, Jennifer Lynch said, "Mr. Steyn would have us believe that words, however hateful, should be given free reign. History has shown us that hateful words sometimes lead to hurtful actions that undermine freedom and have led to unspeakable crimes. That is why Canada and most other democracies have enacted legislation to place reasonable limits on the expression of hatred."[37]

I noticed Mark Styen may not have grade 12 like me then he is not patient and may not too smart to be a leader to criticis some one else you need to have degree to teach the world in this days not with grade 9 he left schol whenhe was 16

"However, Mr. McCain and Ms. Clinton both had access to national intelligence briefings. We know how they both voted initially don’t we.
Unfortunately they were MISINFORMED as revealed by former administration officials, O'Neill and Tenet, and staffers such as Scott McClellan. As well, the recently released Iraq intelligence Report: Phase Two, the bi-partisan Senate report on Iraq intelligence manipulation by the Bush administration, further delineates the transgressions of the Bush Administration.
The concerning aspect of this matter is that with the benefit of better information Mr. McCain still demonstrates an aversion to the good judgment that Mr.Obama possessed initially.

Posted by: polik at June 10, 2008 2:34 AMDon't worry, Obama will never get elected for 2 simple reasons:
1) he's not republican, so most republicans* won't vote for him (kind of a given)
2) he's black, and as more democrats are racists** than republicans, they won't vote for him either
*unless of course, republicans vote in protest of their own poor choice of candidate
**yes, this is a stereotpye, which HRC would you like to meet in front of??

You opt to only present Phase II of the report however, as you know, Phase I puts FULL blame on flawed intelligence, NOT the Bush Administration, for their decisions leading to the invasion of Iraq. I also won't bore you with listing pages upon pages of quotations of the rhetoric, in support of the invasion, by Democratic leaders. However, I’ll leave you with a link to President Clinton’s speech he made to the American people just after he attacked Iraq in 1998. It would appear that President Bush plagiarized his 2002 invasion speech.
http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/stories/1998/12/16/transcripts/clinton.html
The fact of the matter is that regime change in Iraq had/has been a policy of every Adminstration sinc the first Bush Adminstration.
Mr. McCain or Mr. Obama current positions have nothing to do with past decisions made on Iraq. Their positions, since the US is already in Iraq, have to do with the best way to move forward. In that light the Democrats don’t have the luxury of being Monday morning quarterbacks.
If kate posted this as just something to laugh at that is fine.
But if this was designed to make us all realize he is a the wrong candidate then that is just grasping at straws.
Bush made a few speaking errors too and yes they are funny.
I dont think Mac has a chance against this guy especially as he is now the media darling.
the reason some time he talks funy because as he said his team ask him travel 24 hour with no sleep
this is like suicide speaker need sleep and rest time in order brain work and able to talk fluent
Obama is look tired but if he is Muslim we vote for him
to stop the war in Muslim area
he is black but even balck lady who work for BUSh going in middle east with phd knows better than previous group some more information about middle east
may be his color cause middle east see him more welcome to talk to
with white English red neck like Bush hard to talk too just see one way and ignore all otehr ways
Obama is educated man and he is notlook black to me he is dark not black colour to me
probably he is mix ancestor
