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!

News flash: Obama no longer President. Film at 11.

Did he suddenly become irrelevant because of that?

It's still amazingly funny.

Really, you're just gonna be drawn in by the bait? The OP is all about media conspiracy. It's a Truther thread.

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.

What's on that list has already appeared on SNL and that show is far from a right-wing evil industry conspiracy theory.

Lighten up -- it's all in fun.

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

This stuff would make a great subject for one of those "Man On The Street" interviews.

"Who said this...Bush, Obama or Trump?"

LOL!!

I'm referring to the OP. Half of it is CT, and you ignore that because "funny jokes". That's all but endorsing the CT.

Bachmann is even more fun to laugh at than Obama is, but the key is to enjoy laughing at all of them.

Being that we now have a President that surpassed 8 years if Obama gaffs in less than 2 years should be far more news worthy. Selective outrage is alive and well in the USA.

Okay, list the items that are CT.

Read the title. You and anyone else that saunters in to "thumbs up" the jokes while ignoring the CT are tacitly endorsing the OP's lunacy. And that's the whole point of the thread. A nutbag CT looking for validation behind jokes. I hope you're happy to serve as a feather in his tin-foil cap.

Wait...what is CT about this stuff? Did Obama say this stuff? Yes. Was it largely covered up or minimized by the media? Yes. Is it funny stuff? Yes.

I don't see any conspiracy here...except, maybe, a conspiracy on the part of the media to downplay this stuff.

I knew you would be unable to answer that. The items in the list are all valid. Your hissy fit is duly noted.

And dismissed.

Why should anyone be outraged at gaffes?

Odd.
 
Dumb deflection alert. Righties so upset that Obama was so much smarter than Bush and Trump combined. Now they are going to pretend all of the dumb stuff Trump says, and tweets, and then stand buy it somehow compare to Obama misspeaking when anybody with half a brain knows the difference between a misspoken word in a speech and constantly saying dumb stuff on a daily basis

You're really gonna pretend you can't read the thread title or the OP? Wow.

Dumb deflection alert is right!

This is all in fun.

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

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.
 
All these gaffes by whoever are entertaining, but that is about the end of it.

You're a CTist.

Not at all. Didn't read it, don't care. My concern is the blatant cry for tacit approval of a CT, which you're more than happy to provide. That's hysterical.
