  1. I’ve got these cheap little laptop speakers, but it sounds like he said that 10,000 people died from that tornado in Kansas….is that correct?

  3. That’s what you get for not reading the teleprompter. ~:D
    Or maybe he did read it, and his speech writer’s an imbecile. They are DemocRats after all.

  4. Yup. Seems Mr. Obama is math challenged. Global warming is sure killing a lot of people in those freak Kansas tornados. I mean, who’da thunk it? Tornados in Kansas! Next thing you know we’ll see flooding on the Fraser River . . .

  5. For the Left it’s never about facts, it’s all about raw girlie-man emotion.

  6. I think he said 7000 people died in Kansas.
    that wouldnt be true, in a state of about 3000000 people about 100 die per day. so this week about 700 people would have died in kansas, the same as most every other week in kansas (statistics)
    this week 80000 people died in the USA. the horror the horror

  7. He’s still the best the Democrats have … just check your facts next time Barack

  8. I’m afraid to ask, but: how many lefties have blamed the tornado on the President’s policies?

  9. If you round off numbers to the nearest 10,000,.. sure.
    Hey he’s on a roll!

  11. Yep, I heard 10,000.
    I would have liked to here what he said next – did he blame it on the evil 100 Bushes?

  12. Close enough for the alarmists 10, 10,000.
    Wait until they catch on to the real shocker – in the next 100 years, 6,000,000,000 people will die. All becasue of AGW no doubt.

  13. Yep, I heard 10,000.
    I would have liked to here what he said next – did he blame it on the evil 100 Bushes?

  15. So 12 becomes 10,000. This would seem to indicate a rounded off hyperbole factor of roughly 1000-1.
    Yea…that’s about right as it seems to fit within the parameters set out by the most reliable AlGorythems available.
    Syncro

  17. Yup, I heard 10,000 too! (ya had to have a woofer).
    Given the mass psychosis infecting the US and the wider world, this guy could do very well: a demogogue on auto-pilot. And I notice he’s on to the “Palestinians” as the greatest suffers in world history, saying one thing to one audience and the opposite elsewhere. Watch this guy soar!
    He tells the “truth”. The “truth” shall fret us free.

  18. there are crosses burning on the lawns….
    Hot Cross Hedy.
    How come the MSM never calls the dems or the libs on the lunacy. especially if they is a person of colour. you is what you is.

  19. “I’m afraid to ask, but: how many lefties have blamed the tornado on the President’s policies?”
    Just lots of editorial writers and left-wing bloggers. No one really worth laughing at.

  21. I’ll be generous and suggest we all make dumb mistakes from time to time.
    However, it’s the MSM’s take on thing that drives me nuts. Even FOX’s Bill O’Reilly is sometimes complicit. Yesterday, he was discussing President Bush’s slight mis-step before the Queen, when in referring to America’s Bi-Centennial, he started saying “in 17…”, then caught his own error and corrected it to “in 1976”
    Even O’Reilly suggested this could have been a “big problem” had he not corrected himself. Give me a break.
    Which was the bigger error? Starting with a “17” in a bi-centennial of 1776-1976, or “10,000 people died”? I’ll wait for the MSM to pick up on Mr. Obama.

  22. Imagine what the reaction would be if any one of these individuals said the same thing:
    George Bush
    Rudy Giuliani
    Fred Thompson
    Stephen Harper
    Nickolas Sarkozy
    It would make them a MORON according to the MSM.

  26. Yep, I heard 10,000 as well. Not a surprise that the number is inflated to derive more emotion from his speech. Typical political ploy.
    What bothers me is how NO ONE corrected him on a huge mistake. There will be those who take this information as gospel because they heard it from Obama. Won’t they feel silly when they are corrected at the next mention of this false info? And how exactly does it help Obama when those people remember him as the source of that embarassing incident?
    That’s what happens when you surround yourself with “Yes” men. They just end up pushing on the heel when you stick your foot in your mouth.

  27. I was gonna give the guy a break, I mean we all have made small errors like that……
    Then Doug at 12:49 pointed out the what if senerio…..
    And his claims to being tired….
    Aw heck…for the job he is applying for, mistakes like those should be brought up. They sure are for GW

  30. It doesn’t matter. In the end, Mr. Obama will not win the Democrat nomination. Americans are not ready to elect a black man president.
    But good catch! Damn liberal media, I can’t believe this isn’t front page news.

  31. It is not how many that die but what cause they die for and who profits from their deaths.

  33. You people will be ashamed when the truth comes out. Just like in 9/11, there is a massive coverup going on and when the truth is revealed, Bush/Rove/Cheney will be outed and B. Obom will be proven correct. Oh the Humanity!!!
    Sarcasm Off.

  34. He turned 12 into 10,0000.
    Next it will water into wine.
    The Dems walk on water, ya know… Just ask the MSM!

  38. I disagree with most of the comments posted here.
    I’m not a fan of Obama or the Democratic party but this guy just made a honest mistake, fer God’s sake.
    To trample on him and make a big deal out of what was an honest mistake does a disservice to those who
    oppose his views.
    I don’t ever want to see him in the White House but please respect his participation in a process that has given the world the most free and democratic system of government in the world.

  39. I’m not a fan of Obama or the Democratic party but this guy just made a honest mistake, fer God’s sake.
    “An honest mistake”?
    There are a lot of adjectives that can be used to describe the mistake, but “honest” is certainly not one of them…

  40. I’ll wait for the MSM to pick up on Mr. Obama
    Don’t hold your breath. He is their darling at the moment, not saying that after his fleeting fame runs its course the MSM won’t be back behind PIAPS(Pig in a Pantsuit Hillary, their embodiment of vacuous France’s Royal.) The MSM herd is as predictable as the sun’s rising. Obama isn’t ready for prime time, the MSM’s Great Black Hope sans a principled brain is so, well, predictable MSM.
    Tired is no excuse. The twit got caught at his own hyperbole. Facts are an inconvenience to the left. He felt in his heart that 10,000 died. We’ve be through that crap with hurricane Katrina.
    Pathetic.

  41. Did he ever correct himself?
    And I’m curious about the context…was he leading up to a scary climate change statement?

  42. I’ll give a guy an honest mistake. What I”m really watching for is the first appearance of the word “Obamaisms”.

  44. tornadoes in tornado alley are caused by global warming/climate change? all we need is for al gore and dr suzuki et al to pay for more carbon credits. it’s really very simple.

  45. One little verbal gaffe it makes headlines, but eventually you make enough and people expect it.

  46. Love that AlGorythems … pretty much sums up Democratic math these days. Now if only the accounting department at work could screw up my paycheque math like that …

  47. Man, his fact-checkers SUCK. The population of the town was something like 1,900… Did everyone have the whole family visiting?

  48. It isn’t just the stupid mistake. Obama says he gets “tired.” He’s 45 years old. If he gets this tired and confused while campaigning, is he fit for the White House?
    And frankly, I loved “misunderestimated”.

  49. America is definitely ready for a black president, or a woman president. Problem is, Oprah’s already said she won’t run.

  50. Kyla: “America is definitely ready for a black president”
    I know your reference to Oprah is a joke, but do you honestly believe the statement above?
