Just a quick posting to document the almost daily flubs, gaffes and screw-ups from Senator Obama-nable. What did you expect, he is only a one time Senator for gawd sakes!!! The fact that he is still second in many polls is testiment to the weakness of the rest of the democratic field, especially John "sittin' behind my old lady's apron strings" Edwards.
Obama's biggest gaffes have all been on foreign policy, starting with the first presidential debate in April. Asked how he would respond to a pair of hypothetical Al Qaeda attacks, he talked about disaster response and then "potentially" taking action against the plotters while trying not to alienate anyone. Clinton simply said she would retaliate.
In last week's debate, Obama said he'd talk to any dictator without precondition. Clinton slammed him as "naive."
On Wednesday, days before this weekend's important forum of left-leaning bloggers at a DailyKos convention, he angered anti-war Democrats by saying he'd attack Pakistan to kill terrorists. He compounded the problem yesterday, giving a confused response to whether he'd use nukes to get Al Qaeda, then declared nuclear weapons were "not on the table."
His mistakes haven't all been about national security. He had to apologize to Indian immigrants in June after a campaign research paper on Clinton snidely described her as a "Democrat of Punjab." Indian-Americans then donated at least $2 million to her campaign.
And at a stop in Iowa, he asked folks if they'd checked the price of arugula in their local Whole Foods. The high-end natural foods chain has no branches in Iowa.
Finally, Obama went way overboard in talking about a May tornado that leveled a Kansas town. "Ten thousand people died - an entire town destroyed," he said. Twelve people actually died.
