Top 10 major gaffes made by Barack Obama(largely covered up by the media).

Uh, guys, these were all reported on. I remember #8 very well as well. The administration issued an apology. Furthermore, one could have qualms with how the author decided to use the word "feeble."



Probably not the best word to say when trying to make the President look like an ass for making fun of people with disabilities.

You could have qualms about how the OP decided to use the word "major" too.
 
Well the Trump quotes would be easy to identify because they will contain some form of self aggrandizement.

:)

"The weather is great out today because of my brilliant decision to pull of all the bad deals; and they're all bad, terrible deals. All of those people who signed them (the so called "elites") thought they were smart, but they're not; we know they're not because they don't have cars and things as nice as mine. I have the best cars and the best words, which is why you and me are the elites".

I don't know...I suspect a lot of useful idiots would think Trump said all of these Obama quotes.
 
I am not even sure which is the stupidest part of this thread. Could it be crying about stuff long done? Could it be claiming conspiracy without any evidence? Could it be that the list of full of trivial slips of the tongue kinda things(but that supposedly where so important the media had to conspire to cover up)? Or could it be that all the stuff the media supposedly covered up, the media actually reported on?

This thread screams of desperation: OMG, we got nothing good we can stand on, so we need to find something, anything, no matter how painfully trivial, to whine about the other guys to distract that our guys are totally worthless.

The stupidest part of this thread is all the people who are upset because some are laughing at Obama.

It really has nothing to do with Trump as far as I can see, so there's nothing desperate about it.

As far as the media aspect goes, well the media echo chamber IS in full force when it comes to Trump as opposed to the virtual silence back when it was about Obama. Heck, it's even gotten to the point where the big boy media is eagerly turning into Grammar Nazis. You may not like it being pointed out...but it IS a fact.
 
Did he suddenly become irrelevant because of that?

It's still amazingly funny.

In a lot of ways, yes he is irrelevant. He holds no office, is not a candidate for anything....he's a citizen.
 
Why don't you go breath some CO2 in a closed environment and let us know if it doesn't harm you?

We all do that all day.
None of us would be here without CO2.
The oxygen you breathe comes from CO2.
Plants need it.
Your atmosphere needs it.
Life wouldn't have been created without it or survive without it.
 
Dumb deflection alert is right!

This is all in fun.

If you want to start a Trump gaffe thread - do so.

LOL, Typical righty response of "I'm rubber your glue" For crying out loud, your lack of any originality or intelligence in these posts are astounding. And ironically, all you did is deflect again. I provided an argument, and like a typical righty who can't make an adult argument or address my argument. It's incredibly funny that you just respond with yet another dumb deflection when my comment wasn't a deflection, I actually made an argument. I bet you think you were being clever LOL

More dumb right wing deflection, make up that people must be upset about this stupid thread and right wing stupidity LOL.

Since I used your exact words, I'd say I was just about as clever as you were.
 
From the article: The Left had a grand old time with President George W. Bush’s mangling of the English language, and let Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann make a slip of the tongue and the mainstream media would turn it into a major news story. Not so with President Obama’s verbal missteps. But here they are, in all their (previously omitted)glory!
Top 10 Obama Gaffes | Human Events

Obama was an eloquent speaker. The guy in the current job is like polar opposite. People misspeak or flub a line, I forgave Bush2 and Obama, people are human. But a guy like Trump, he doubles down on his stupidity, and therefore does not get a free pass. Intellectualy Trump is midget compared to his predecessor.
 
Besides his faith,this one stood out at me.

" 10. Health care inefficiencies: During the health care debate, President Obama explained all the benefits of ObamaCare, saying, “The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.” Mr. President, we already have enough inefficiency in health care and, yes, your “reforms” will only make it worse. "

Total disaster.
I've seen lists of flubs and debacles posted in other forums and no lists is duplicated. So many "swing and a miss" by this dude and the numbers keeps growing.
 
It's funny you think Michele Bachmann's ignorant craziness is just a slip of the tongue.

"Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." -Rep. Michelle Bachmann






She is one crazy person. Scary crazy eyes.
 
We all do that all day.
None of us would be here without CO2.
The oxygen you breathe comes from CO2.
Plants need it.
Your atmosphere needs it.
Life wouldn't have been created without it or survive without it.


Yes we do, however, in a high concentration it is toxic and deadly. Which makes Bachmann's statement ridiculous because there are studies showing CO2 can be dangerous.
 
News flash: Obama no longer President. Film at 11.

You are absolutely correct, but since this stuff was largely omitted when he was president(along with almost every other scandal), then shouldn't it be talked about at some point in time?

Also, the "he is no longer president" sure didn't stop MOST progressives, journalists and democrats from blaming Bush up until Obama's 8th year in office!

I'm telling you, when you use hair spray that contains CFC's, you don't have to worry about it EVER reaching the outside environment, as long as you spray it on your hair inside your apartment! I'm going to double down on that statement too! Lol
 
Really, you're just gonna be drawn in by the bait? The OP is all about media conspiracy. It's a Truther thread.

It's a thread that exposes just a few of the gaffes made by obama, that were either omitted or barely discussed. Contrast that with just about any SINGLE gaffe made by any of the aforementioned republicans, and there is very obviously a huge double standard(as there is with any subject that the media view as being potentially negative to democrats). When republicans make a gaffe, it's brought up over and over, for years! The whole narrative of Sarah Palin being an idiot, is due to the media's completely unfair and hypocritical focus on just a few gaffes that were portrayed in a way that dishonestly created the false perception that it was happening constantly.

If ANY Republican or conservative treated ANY female progressive or democrat in the way leftists treated Sarah Palin FOR YEARS, they would've been labeled "sexists"(and I think you know that by now).
 
The OP's complete lack of evidence to support the claim of conspiracy is self indicting.

He has to prove his claims. Of course he can't, and you know it, but you are a member of this conspiracy club. So, like a Truther, you jump to the defense of a claim completely without evidence via "prove he's wrong".

Please fill me in on exactly which "conspiracy" you claim there is no evidence of. If you are still doubting the obvious partisan political bias that's obvious throughout the majority of the MSM, then I can continue to show you proof of it on a daily basis, but I think we both know there are 3 sticking points.

1. Despite decades of obvious one-sided bias in the MSM, where it's LONG been clear that they manipulate the public, I don't think it will ever be in your best interest to admit that it's true, REGARDLESS of how much proof is put in front of you every day.

2. Admitting to major left wing media bias, collusion and deception, would also mean that you'd finally have to consider the possibility that the power brokers of the left, aren't necessarily the hyper-virtuous, democracy-defending people that you thought they were.

3. You'd also have to consider the reality that YOU have been significantly deceived, meaning that much of what you put so much faith in, may well not be true.
 
I just see it as a joke at Obama's expense. Nothing out of the ordinary there. No "truther" angle to it as far as I can see.

Let me get this straight. If it's jokes shown every day at the expense of republicans, it's all good. Its also good if the gaffes are used even more often, to demonize republicans, even to the point where its exaggerated and repeated for years after the fact.

But ANY mention of gaffes made by democrats, is somehow unfair and in bad taste? You've actually helped provide more evidence for mainstream media bias with that opinion. The very fact that you see the exact same subject with such a blatant double standard, with the only difference being party affiliation, is evidence that you've been manipulated by the primary purveyors of political information(msm).

Freaking hilarious !!

Sounds like something the Don would suggest !!
 
Yes we do, however, in a high concentration it is toxic and deadly. Which makes Bachmann's statement ridiculous because there are studies showing CO2 can be dangerous.

Currently CO2 concentration is around 400±ppm. CO2 becomes toxic around 50,000±ppm. Were safe from CO2 poisoning. I didn't see or hear Bachmann's statement or its context but I have heard or seen many many statements trying to make CO2 a boogeyman for political purposes. Perhaps she was addressing some of those statements.

btw... high oxygen levels can be toxic too.
 
You're hanging your hat on the "largely covered up by the media" thing, but we all know MSM liked Obama better than they like Trump, so playing up Trump's gaffes is just more fun for them.

While MSM didn't totally ignore Obama's gaffes, they typically tried to downplay them.

You really don't have a leg to stand on here and you're nitpicking. Try reading the list and enjoy it. Take that stick out of your ass and laugh a bit.

How about give us an example of how the MSM downplayed Obama's gaffes.

Michele Bachmann on most fact-checked lists, has been the single biggest liar or at least the no. 1 dumbass in Wash. until even her state got fed up.
