Michelle Malkin posted a great compliation of this guy's notable gaffes, something I wouldn't count on seeing in the MSM anytime soon. Someone needs to ask him how to spell "potatoe." (sic)

I really can't believe these two are the best the Democratic party can come up with, speak volumes to that party's rapid devolution.

re: #11 debutaunt

Well, the way these people mindlessly worship him, many would probably change their city name to whatever he said.

I guess they were in such awe at this Messiah, they did not dare correct him..

So what about President Bush's verbal gaffe ?

sweetie...

A better gaffe was when Ted Kennedy tried to pronounce B-Ho's name and kept spitting out something like "Osama" instead. It sounded like vintage Ted Kennedy, but if there is a chance that the gaffe was the result if his medical condition, then this post would be in poor taste.

Stupid Boy, Keith Urban

An understandable mistake. Sunshine is the capital of the 57th state. He just thought he was there. Sunrise is when he has his waffle

I have to think that Obama's gonna run out of feet and mouth at SOME point.

Thanks for the link, Charles.

And with that, it's time for a kid's birthday party, preceded by an hour's drive.

Imagine if he had one of these famous gaffes as President while on his World Tour of Rogue Regimes. The offended party might not be as keen to overlook it as his swooning hordes of acolytes.

re: #19 Mars Needs Neocons

Obama's bid for presidency has become farcical. He apparently is deep into self-sabotage, as is Rodham-Clinton.

REUTERS: Senator Obama (D-Arugula) explained his misstatement - "How do you expect me to keep track of all those little states in the middle?" Experts note that Florida is in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, so any Republicans making note of this misstatement are racists.

By the way, regarding Hillary's gaffe about the RFK assassination. It should be said that if Sirhan Sirhan were at large today the last guy in the world he would want to kill would be Obama.

Maybe they don't know where they live? I have been to Sunrise before and there are many residents who live there that won't see that many more..... if you know what I mean.

The only problem is his age. He will be perceived as "too inexperienced" simply because he is so young.

Sunrise is best known for the 2000 election? Wow. The biggest problems happened in Palm Beach county, and Sunrise has a lot more going for it.

In case you missed it, here is a partial list of things you can't talk about when it comes to Obama.

Don't talk about his wife
his pastor
his friends
his associates
his mother
his father
his grandmother
his religion
his liberalism
his ears
his name
his plan for "Change"
his flag pin
his education
his family's income
his economic strategy
his intentions for discussions with lunatic heads of state
his dealings with Rezko
his links to Farrakhan
his experience in management
his appeasement
his gaffes
or his campaign staff.

A Newsweek poll had Obama's favorability at approximately 55 percent and unfavorability at 45 percent. Interestingly, McCain had identical numbers.

re: #88 newsjunkie_ky

Quayle was pretty much vindicated, in my mind, when I read an article by Barbara Dafoe Whitehead titled:

Dan Quayle Was Right

Divorce and out-of-wedlock childbirth are transforming the lives of American children. In the postwar generation more than 80 percent of children grew up in a family with two biological parents who were married to each other. By 1980 only 50 percent could expect to spend their entire childhood in an intact family. If current trends continue, less than half of all children born today will live continuously with their own mother and father throughout child hood. Most American children will spend several years in a single-mother family. Some will eventually live in stepparent families, but because stepfamilies are more likely to break up than intact (by which I mean two-biological-parent) families, an increasing number of children will experience family breakup two or even three times during childhood.

I see many references to Dan Quayle. But what I'm thinking is this;if Quayle can misspell "potato" and it be a sign that he is unfit to be president on the tragic event the V.P were needed to take over the office,why isn't it also a sign for a man who doesn't even know the name of the town (in one of the 57 states) he is speaking in at the moment?

I see a HUGE double standard at work here. If the gaffe's by a conservative are proof they are unfit for office,the same standard of fitness should apply to a liberal as well.

With reference to things, like Obama, that simply must BE but not in the same continuum to effect CHANGE. The event horizon of a space time singularity comes to mind. (The name pun is unintentional.)

Jindal is not that much younger than Obama is and he has nearly the same or better quantity of government experience but in a more responsible way. He also has real world experience that makes him an expert in health care issues rather than the "community organizing" that constitutes the sum total of Obama's "experience."

Louisiana might need him, but the United States of America needs him more.

Gotta be honest - I didn't pay any attention to that controversy while it was happening (I was on the road a lot at that time). It wasn't over a gaffe, though.

You're correct, it was not over a GAFFE. It was over soemthing much more important to the 'liberal" cause at the time. ANTI-FAMILY and ANTI-VALUES. They were trying, succesfully it has turned out, to make the point that a "family" does not need a mommy and a daddy. One (preferably a mommy) would do. That has now mushroomed into "Billy has 2 mommies" or "Sara has 2 daddies".

re: #164 alegrias

Mitt Romney, not Bobby Jindal, is my choice.

How about Romney for SecTres? McCain has already said he has little economic skill.... put the GOP's money whiz in the job.

OK my friends, sadly I'm obligated to go see in concert, (puke), Garrison Keillor the PBS-made millionaire leftist Bush hater.

I'm going to be civil and not protest loudly unless they require an oath of loyalty to Obama as future president of Lake Woe-be-gone!

I remember hearing about this one:

During the White House Easter Egg Roll of 1991, Quayle signed autographs using only his finger. He had prepared pre-signed cards which his aides handed out while he made signing gestures. This allowed him to move briskly and efficiently through the crowd, said his spokesman.

He did some buffoonish stuff. But, politically I always liked him.

Wear dark glasses and get some sleep when the lights go dim.

McCain's VP choice will be the most important thing that he does before November. If his choice is to attract more moderates and libs then many conservatives will refuse to cross the aisle and vote for him.

Obama could select Reagan's reincarnation and he still wouldn't deserve a thought. Know nothing APPEASER!

I could be wrong--Kerry remembers serving in Cambodia, where he insists he served at Nixon's orders in December 1968, though Nixon wasn't in office yet--and Kerry singlehandedly saved millions of Cambodians from Pol Pot, for which he won purple hearts.

Kerry fragged his own democrat President Johnson!

Fraggin' Kerry, we're so beholden to Charles Johnson of LGF for ridding us of that fraudulent, cowardly liar!

This is from the article in the Ft. Lauderdale Sun(shine) Sentinel :
It wasn't clear whether Obama knew exactly where he was Friday afternoon. He repeatedly used the term "Sunshine" as a place name rather than "Sunrise," the city where the arena is located. His opening line was: "I am so glad to be in Florida. I am so glad to be in Sunshine." Wexler (D-FL) said Obama could have been speaking metaphorically about Florida's sunshine. But before Obama was done shaking hands on the arena floor, the Republican National Committee rushed out a statement jabbing him for a gaffe.

re: #183 sarah

Sure! This guy is nothing but ego. I haven't seen an ego this size (makes his ears seem small) in quite awhile - and that's saying something!

I remember reading the story behind the POTATOE gaffe. I'll try to find it. (I mean, I'll try to get one of my kids to find it, seeings how I'm a cyber-dunce. It was in an article about the state of education in the US.)
Quayle was visiting a school class that was doing spelling practice. He sat in for the teacher and asked the kids to spell words that were written on cards. When a child spelled POTATO, he corrected the child because on the teacher's card it was written POTATOE.
Quayle assumed the teacher was right, I guess, which makes him kinda dumb.
But the real scandal was that the teacher was wrong. Needless to say, the media never reported this, although it should have been obvious that he was asking them question from a written source.

re: #184 unrealizedviewpoint

Thank you, Sir Charles!

Agreed, navigating close to those corners can be particularly hazardous.

re: #187 wolfie

Quayle's gaffes became part of the narrative about the man. Those who learned more about him realized that his humor won through despite his verbal failings.

If Obama wins the election, Sunrise will have to rename their town to make him right.

re: #185 MamaWolf

Indeed. And certainly women never get anywhere with the constant whining blaming and complaining. To me this isn't about Hillary being a woman. It's about Hillary and her democrat characteristics.

Dan Quayle needs to come back and run for president again ;)

re: #195 FrogMarch

If Hillary were a womanly version of Zell Miller or H. Scoop Jackson, than I would be celebrating here democrat characteristics. Her weak, ineffectual foreign policies, backward economic ideas and awful socialistic philosophy are what is demeaning. Whining about misogyny is classless.

BO considered Sunrise to be a racist name for obvious reasons to the Changers and the Believers and Changed the name so that they will now have HOPE. That is obviously not a gaffe!

I've seen several references to Jindal in 2016. Sorry, after eight years of Dhimmicrat control a huge number of the new 'immigrants' will have been naturalized and a sufficient number of judges named to virtually guarantee one party rule for a long time. Then everyone can go to sleep and wait to suffer Europe's fate.

Some unforeseen event may temporarily put off this scenario but we've seen from what has happened since 911 that these only provide a temporary halt to the advancement of multicultural lunacy.

At least there is the kool-aid drinking lamestream media to try to push these gaffes into the memory hole along with the confirmation of the Dem talking points from 2006 were lies based on expediency and trying to snare power or open calls for socialism and nationalization of a major US industry.

There is a sense that being pro-Obama is crossing some kind of line that we can't easily bear. More so than w/ Kerry, etc. Strange.

Obama draws rock-star-size crowd at Sunrise rally

SUNRISE — It was still dark outside Friday when the Young family got in line for an afternoon event in a 20,000-seat arena.

The mother and daughter did the same thing in the 1980s for Michael Jackson tickets. More recently, they woke the kids before dawn on the day Nintendo Wii hit the stores.

Even his sycophantic followers deal in the same empty platitudes as their hero:

His message resonates," said Pershonda Gadson, 36, daughter of Jeanette Young. "It's a message of hope, that you can do whatever you put your mind to. It's inspirational and it's unifying."

Oh, my god," Shanique Wilson, 17, screeched Friday as she was let onto the floor of the BankAtlantic Center.

"I'm going to tell my children and my children's children about this," she said. "This is the most exciting moment of my life."
