Obama, the idiot

One of my favorite daily reads, Michelle Malkin absolutely rips the Obamamessiah a new one today.

Do you ever notice how when a conservative says something stupid, like Dan Qualye misspelling potato, the press harps on it for years. Hell, they still make fun of Qualye for that slip up. But when a liberal does or says something stupid (like when Algore got lost in the woods on a campaign stop and the Secret Service had to go in and find him; or when Algore failed to recognize the busts of Washington, Jefferson, Adams - you know, the founding fathers), the press either doesn't report it, or buries it on page D32.

Well, Malkin points out many of the Obamamessiah's "mis-statements" and frankly, it's damn funny:

Last May, he claimed that Kansas tornadoes 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 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.”

Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement:

“There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”

Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole.”

Wow. What a moron. And this guy is supposed to be the savior of the Democrat Party?
