Obama flubs in guest book, dates visit "2008"

Let's say y'all are right. What do you think happened? Obviously, something came undone upstairs. Early onset dementia? What. I mean, seriously. Either he had a brain fart or ZOMGWTFBBQSAUCEROFLCOPTER DOOOOOOM!!!

BDB...if you said that last line as a punchline while joking about the incident I would have LMAO and high fived you and the whole thing would have been business as usual...life goes on.

C'mon. Getting the day wrong, yeah. But the year? By 3 years? Can we have any fun with this guy? Any at all?

There's a difference between having fun and making stupid hyperpartisan attacks. The former is not an issue, but the latter is what this thread presented.

You want to say is was a dumb mistake, and a funny one at that... I'm with you. You want to say it reflects on his Presidency, and I'd say you are a partisan hack who has no ability to be objective, and will look for anything, no matter how small and irrelevant (like this) to bash Obama.
 
Councilman said:
Typical you have nothing intelligent to say so attack the messenger.

You don't think that it's rather important for the man in the Oval office to at least know what year it is. Not knowing the date or day because jet lag or the time change but the year.

I see it as a big deal. The idiot can't talk without someone writing everything for him and now this.

Liberals are looking more and more foolish as Obama keeps screwing up. Best part of that is they don't see it.

I'm sure Obama has to be reminded every day of what year it is before he goes and dates something.

I'm also sure he's the first President who has used teleprompters when speaking to a group.

Surely his ability to memorize his addresses is directly related to his ability to lead the nation, right?

Is it "hyperpartisan" when George Bush was also being attacked (or any Republican for that matter) or is this charge only applicable to those who laugh at Barrack Obama?

He might need help memorizing his address, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but he'll only have to be reminded for another 18 months or so.

It seems his idea of 'leading the nation' has often been in direct conflict with his Presidential election campaign. Do you think there are enough people who will ever believe this bumbler enough to get him re-elected?

Yes, because the intelligence of the general public is quite low.

That and the lack of any sort of adequate opposition being present will lead to his eventual reelection.
 
As Evelyn Lozada from Basketball Wives would say " this is a non- MFing FACTOR!!"

Who cares

You know, every time you make these kinds of complaints, you continue to show off your membership in that club that I mentioned.

If ANYONE does it on either side, they get membership, Grant. Try to stop being so partisan for a second and you'd realize that.

The question isn't partisanship, it's what is right. What provides the greatest good for the greatest number. You sound like a little girl with your incessant complaints about partisanship (aka why can't we all get along?) and your intellectually vapid lines about extreme partisanship, extreme partisan hack and the like.

Taking socialism and all the socialist engineering claptrap the Libs promote head-on (See http://www.debatepolitics.com/gener...dont-call-libs-socialists.html#post1059525027), the failed drivel they foment that defecates on limited government, Liberty, personal responsibility, states rights and The Constitution may be partisan, but that socialist platform is the ruination of many nations, including America... and my word!!! Some of us don't like one iota of it!!!

You may like to drink from the poisoned chalice but others don't. They see who the Libs are and what they seek to do, and they make the case daily why they don't subscribe to it. And some even make fun of the opposition and their idiotic socialist schemes. Your contribution... whining that people should be more like you and your position as political roadkill. You really don't add much beyond being the official Whiner In Chief of DP.

I've become quite partisan and I think you'll find that most people in a free society are often the same way. It should come as no surprise where free opinions are allowed.

I think everyone gave Barrack Obama a fair chance when he was first elected President and that is reflected in his initial poll numbers. Now we can see that few, if any of his election promises materialized, often a very good thing, and that he is well out of his depth on every issue.

It's clear the future of the United States is far more important than this one man and that everyone should be more partisan in order to save the country from a clearly incompetent President who will only lend to a very perilous future.

Partisanship on some level is not a problem. When our elected leaders can't stop playing partisan games long enough to do what's right for the nation, that's bad. The buffoons we elected to the legislature here in Minnesota were too worried about two guys doing it in the butt to pass a budget that would get signed. The BS purveyors in the leadership of the US Senate are more interested in playing "gotcha" with the other party to actually sit down and figure out a solution to the budget.

Barrack Obama has never passed a budget, even when he had a majority to pass whatever he wanted. There is still no budget..

Yes.

People stupid enough to vote for a Democrat once don't usually have the maturity to admit their mistake, not even to themselves. That, and they don't care about the country, they only care about getting their handouts, which are paid for by someone productive.

Yes, you are sadly right, it seems. De Tocqueville warned a couple of hundred years ago that the greatest threat to America's continued success was politicians bribing the electorate with their own money, and it seems that moment has come. The people have become so accustomed to it that they can no longer capable of change and will demand ever greater handouts.

They also look at their political party the way they look at their high school football team, where they will cheer them on no matter how poorly they play. They'll put their team, in this case the Democratic Party, ahead of the country,

They do seem upset at that. It's like they don't want to be reminded they weigh 300 pounds and are a parading about town in their new suit of invisible clothes.

Well, the Mayor can see how ugly socialism is and he's not about to coddle their frail emotions.

Legitimate criticism. That I can always accept, even if I disagree. Note, that I criticized both parties (R's in Minnesota, D's in the Senate).

What's ridiculous is this stupid little mistake that anyone can make is being called "absolute proof that he's not fit to be President." When are you guys going to get over people criticizing Bush? Two years later, and you're still stinging. "Ooh, those meanies on the internet and TV said mean things about poor, persecuted George." Really? These things became serious because Cons turned that into a flame-fest about the "liberal media." If you had just said "Yeah, that's a dumb flub, and it's pretty funny..." No. People joke about Palin, and it's a flame-fest. Point out that Glenn Beck is a partisan douche, and it's a flame-fest. Seriously, grow the F up.

Poor zim. Every post you make you show off your ignorance on the issue. Remember when you first came here and I challenged you on the definition of socialism and you failed MISERABLY? I remember. You STILL haven't learned a thing. You just spew your ignorant comments, nothing but hack statements that have no basis in reality. You act like one of those folks who gets brainwashed by some bizarre cult. What you say makes perfect sense... to you... because you've been indoctrinated. Of course, not a bit of it has any real basis in reality. Keep talking, zim... and the rest of us will do what we do... laugh at the absurdity and irrelevancy of what you say.

This has to be one of the most absurd or dishonest statements I've ever seen at DP. If you like, I can go back to 2008 and post all the comments from conservatives on this board who, based on those comments, had no intention of given Obama any chance at all.

Since you have already admitted that you are part of the "tit-for-tat hyperpartisan club" your post is ironic.

What do you think should be done with the idiotic socialist liberals? Should they be incarcerated? Should they be deported? Should we just declare war on them until they are all dead?
