I thought I heard that Obama also said he was going to order the joint chiefs to do something about Iraq or Afghanistan, not realizing the JCS doesn't do operations.  Now, I didn't myself know the limits of the JSC's authority, but anyone running for POTUS should have.

At a minimum O'Bama is someone's sock puppet. 

He takes his orders from Mayor Daley, they have the same speaking style (absense of facts/truth)....
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Obama's out displaying his ignorance again:

Quote
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama, the first black candidate with a shot at winning the White House, says John McCain and his Republican allies will try to scare them by saying Obama "doesn't look like all those other presidents on the dollar bills."

The last I knew, there is exactly one president on "the dollar bills"--George Washington.   rolleyes

There's more than one denomination of dollar bills. 

Stupid comment, anyway.  A lie, really.  No one's saying that.*  No one dares to say that.  He knows that no one will ever say that kind of thing. 

But, then, maybe he thinks our side is saying that at private fund-raisers, just like he made offensive statements at the fund-raiser in Frisco. 

*Yeah, there are people saying it, but they are nobodies.

"McCain and the Republicans will say Obama doesn't look like the other presidents on the dollar bills."

that they are hoping will be distorted in the retelling to

"McCain and the Republicans said Obama doesn't look like the other presidents on the dollar bills".

Pitiful little leftist twits.

Around here, a "dollar bill" always refers to the $1 denomination.  Any other value, such as $20, always has the value as part of the name, such as a "twenty-dollar bill."  One of those is never called a "dollar bill."

Perhaps it is different in your part of the country.

Always a non-conformist, I have no idea what the norm is in my part of the country.  I've heard people claim that a "dollar bill" is always a one-dollar bill.  Just never made sense to me. 

If you're talking about a bunch of bills of different denominations, what do you call it?  A bunch of federal reserve notes?  I just call it a bunch of dollar bills.  Or a fat grip of money, I suppose.   cheesy

I'd be happy to trade you some of my "dollar bills" for the same number of your "dollar bills."   grin

But he'd be awfully grumpy about the price of oil coming down.

He'd be even grumpier about that fact that it was George W Bush who made the price of oil come down by trying to make it easier for wealthy corporations to drill for more oil.

Oh well.
