I got somethin' to say about Obama's "gaffe"

[FlyingSquirrel]

Obama's not the only one that has this problem. Both Hillary and McSame have made their share of gaffes this season.

Big difference: while Barack and Michelle's gaffes have been mainly blown out of proportion, basically phrasing that wasn't quite careful enough, Hillary and McGiveMeSomeNovacaine have essentially shown some deep ingrained problems besides just not being quite politically correct.

You know what I'm talking about, I don't have to repeat the lines.

Obama will weather this just fine. They won't be able to Kerrify him or make him a Kerricature of himself. ;) Not among independents anyway. But Hillary and McPainInTheBrain will be dogged by theirs for the rest of this campaign.

1. I think ALL the "gaffe" focus is idiocy.

After all this time, we know their policies. If they mis-spoke or misrepresented their policies in a "gaffe", its meaningless. It only has meaning to stupid people who don't KNOW their policies, and are therefore misled by the statement. Yet for some reason we give them all this credence as if they matter. The only thing that matters to me is who has the wrong policies, and who has the right policies.

2. Hillary lied and McCain doesn't know the difference between his mouth and his ass

because McCain talks out of his ass. Obama told the truth. People aren't used to the truth, it shocks them.

3. Obama was telling the truth.

They're just mad at him for saying the economy is bad and pointing out that people will take refuge in other issues as he said, in self defense.
