Or is he just stupid?

Quote
Today on CBS's Face the Nation, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in Afghanistan, told the paparazzi-pursued correspondent Lara Logan that "the objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.

Maybe he figures that he won't be President and will be dealing with them as a Senator. laugh

You think that's funny shocked  angry
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Obama is pretty sure that the 22nd Amendment wasn't ratified by all 57 states . . .

(If McCain made the same number and types of gaffs as Obama, news reporters and anchors would be saying he was on the verge of senility. What's Obama's excuse?)

He claims to be.  He went around Hyde Park 7, 8 years ago referring to himself as "Professor", but he was more like a guest lecturer, picking up a class or two.

I knew way back when that he wasn't ready for prime-time.  Remember how he asked the reporter not to make fun of his large ears?   cheesy

Yeah, but you do have to wonder if it'll matter.  How many dumb, inexperienced mistakes has he made so far?  And yet, he's still in the race.

Lemme see here.

First, 57 states
Second, Pearl Harbor's bomb
Third, 10 year presidential term

At a minimum O'Bama is someone's sock puppet.  Beyond that the man is either a well-dressed, articulate idiot OR he has plans for us he dare not reveal (c.f. civilian security force).

Didn't he also threaten to invade Pakistan during a speech intended to show off his international relations prowess?

Yep. At least Hillary's plan to nuke Iran made some level of sense comparatively. Osama Bin Laden probably is in Pakistan, but those caves are pretty invasion resistant. Kinda like a whole country of Iwo Jima.

Trying to understand Obama's appeal is like trying to understand the ethos of the Middle Ages.  Better to hunk down and wait for the Renaissance--if it comes again.

Iwo Jima isn't a country.

------------------------

Here's how I look at it:  If you say enough stuff eventually you'll slip up.  Right now McCain and Obama are both saying a lot of stuff in public.  They will make mistakes.  We all do. See above.

Iwo Jima isn't a country. 

Actually, he was saying that the terrain of the entire country of Pakistan is like that of Iwo Jima.  Or if he wasn't talking about the terrain, he was comparing them in some other way.

Hell, those are just the bare highlights.  If he was a conservative or a Republican, he would be branded as dumber than Dan Quayle by now.  All he did was misspell potatose.
