The Obama Gaffefest Continues

Sphere: Related Content

It gets funnier by the day unless this guy actually cons enough people to win the Oval Office, then it will be downright scary. Obama and his advisers are making huge mistakes at every at every turn and not just little ones but doozies.

Just over the weekend we have him saying this:

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.
The guys at Powerline take him to the woodshed and rightfully so as he seems to not only have forgotten what Memorial Day is about but he was evidently reading from cue cards and he made this mistake.

Next we have the flat-out lie that his uncle was among those who liberated Auschwitz when anyone with even a fleeting knowledge of history knows it was the rampaging Red Army that liberated that particular hellhole. It Al Gore saying he was lullabied to sleep by his Mom singing "look for the union label" but more vile.

And finally, we have former Carterite and current blowhard Zbig Brzezinski bloviating about Israel and Jews:

Mr Brzezinski said “it’s not unique to the Jewish community – but there is a McCarthyite tendency among some people in the Jewish community”, referring to the Republican senator who led the anti-Communist witch hunt in the 1950s. “They operate not by arguing but by slandering, vilifying, demonising. They very promptly wheel out anti-Semitism.
Kind of how the Obama campaign uses race, hey Zbig? Is anything said by any former Carter advisor worth the ink it's written on? The Carter administration was the worst in two generations and his work since has been devastating to world peace.

The facts are clear that Obama is definitely not ready for prime time (or even late night) and his inexperience will make him easy fodder for the RNC, McCain campaign, conservative commentators and talk radio (with a little assistance from the Clinton's I would imagine).
