totally a simple gaf that is rare for obama, but watch all the crap that comes from it

I took it like he was introducing both of themselves, but it did seem awkward.

Not all that rare. Clearly, he's no GWB, and he's better than most. But Obama does stumble on occasion during speeches. (Virtually every human being does.)

Clearly, I'm worried about unreasonable expectations, because they can lead to such a depressing crash when reality sets in.

Unreasonable or not you gotta admit it, those expectations are there because of the overboard reactions to GWB's speeches. Instead of focussing on content there was too much focus on stammerring. Can't have it both ways.

This is gonna hurt but here ya go... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp0hU1THjuc&NR=1

i think i meant biggrin.gif in comparison to mccain, you do see more of his speeches than i probably do so i am sure you are right

That was incredible, my wife and I had tears in our eyes after Joe Biden finished speaking. SImply amazing pairing, I can't Imagine voting for anybody else, unless I was stupid and crazy.

Cold chills were running through my whole body as I watched the two couples walk up those steps where Lincoln is from.

We are going to win this thing.

I think it's weird that CNN was the first to report the gaf; this after quickly clicking around, listening, cussing, and then landing quickly back saftely at my comfortable homebase - the span.

Once again, McCain campain is grasping for anything. And it's not much.

Folks, I am really scared for America right now. We had our Constitution pulled from under us, and most people don't even know. I can guarantee that if someone is voting repug, they don't know. That is the scary part. We need this win bad, but then it will take time to turn things around. We are yet to feel the pinch of paying off the debt, that is going to hit us hard. These repugs have been cheating so bad and lying and stealing and selling us out, we have not yet caught up to all the damage. This could be held against Obama in 4 years when the shit hits the fan.

omg.gif a brain fart.... I'll take that any day over the old fart.

Yeah, it was a gaffe alright! Well, just goes to show he's human....(maybe now McCain won't think he's THE ONE!) laugh.gif

This from the guy who thinks Czechoslovakia is still a country and Iraq has a border with Pakistan. A presidential candidate that doesn't know his Shia from his Sunni. A man that has to check with his staff to find out how many houses he has.

Those who live in seven glass houses don't throw stones.

We listened to Obama and Biden in Illinois live on Frangela.
Appropriately, it was fierce and invigorative.

There was a time in this country when radio was the way to go.

As for Barack's slip of the tongue

Anytime, Tap. Let's just hope Grampy stays in the race. Semper fi.

Oh, he will, no doubt, and that is change we can believe in, or at least changing the diapers that will make him more comfortable that we can believe in.

Grampy and his buddies will be sweeping the streets, after January 20, 2009, if the Constituion will finally be respected. Hello? Paging Gonzales? Mukasey? Slim majority in Senate? What a log jam we've been in what seems like forever. And now, we can elect a guy who actually has knowledge of that forgotten document.
