The Ignorant candidate

Obama Ignorance Watch 
Apropos my last post....
Throughout our history, America's confronted constantly evolving danger, from the oppression of an empire, to the lawlessness of the frontier, from the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor, to the threat of nuclear annihilation. Americans have adapted to the threats posed by an ever-changing world. (speech in West Lafeyette, IN on Wednesday)

"Aaah yes – "the bomb that fell on Pearl Harbor." Who can forget that? It was the big one, the one that took out all those boats. I guess Obama's political correctness prevents him from noting someone actually dropped "the bomb" and it didn't just fall.

This is a surprising error for a Hawaii native (via the great Kansas heartland) to make. Perhaps Obama was merely confused, as he and his surrogates so often accuse John McCain of being." - Weekly Standard

Stolen from Doug Ross Lournal:

An Amish farmer walking, notices a man drinking from his pond, with his hand.

The Amish man shouts: "Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen."

Which means: "Don't drink the water, the cows have pooped in it."

The man shouts back: "I'm from Chicago and just down here campaigning for Obama, I can't understand you. Please speak in English."

The Amish man says: "Use two hands, you'll get more."

I listened to Obama's words on the video. I originally thought he might have said "Pearl Harbor" when he might have meant "Hiroshima," but that didn't really work. I think he was just caught up in a poseur's moment where the singular "bomb" sounded more dramatic than "bombs."

Gaff aside, his premise is bullshit. Some Americans confronted the dangers that have faced us, others hid under the bed; i.e. the American Left. McCain faced the danger. What danger has the Obamassiah faced?
