It seems only O'Bomber learned to use those highbrow words like...ummm, ahhh, ummm, hmmm and others at good ole Harvard.

I don't profess to know where Bush acquired his particular brand of English and Spanish proficiency.

Now acoustic, I'm not sure how one would find a gaffe rating scale but on any gaffe scale, I would rate saying "Iran is a tiny country and no threat to the United States" and then, the next day saying "Iran is a grave threat"..I would say that ranks right up there on the gaffe rating bell curve.

Sounds idiotic to most people.

In context, it doesn't. Not at all.

“Strong countries and strong presidents talk to their adversaries. That’s what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That’s what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That’s what Nixon did with Mao. I mean, think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we’re going to wipe you off the planet. And ultimately that direct engagement led to a series of measures that helped prevent nuclear war, and over time allowed the kind of opening that brought down the Berlin Wall. Now, that has to be the kind of approach that we take." - Barack Obama, May 18, 2008

You've completely misquoted.

And on a different subject, there was an even bigger gaffe...if that's possible.

When Russia invaded Georgia...with troops and tanks, the first words out of O'Bomber's mouth were to blame both Russia and Georgia equally for Russia attacking and invading Georgia. Gaffe one.

Then, O'Bomber turned around and said the US should take Russia to the UN Security Council with a demand Russia withdraw. In other words, leave this invasion of a sovereign nation to the UN Security Council.
Problem, Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council and would automatically veto any UN condemnation or demand for Russia to withdraw forces from Georgia...and if Russia didn't want to exercise their veto, then China would. Gaffe 2.

Nonsense, The Soviet Union never, ever, not once said they were going to wipe the US off the map.

More nonsense, Reagan never met with any of the former Soviet Union leaders...though they sure wanted one. When Reagan met with Gorby, the makings of a deal had already been worked out and there were preconditions to the meeting.

And you will have to excuse me here acoustic but the little raving nut who is the elected leader of Iran has none of the stature of Gorby...and further, should never be treated like he does.

You got to love Bush. He doesn't lie thru his teeths like most democrats are known for. May be occasional slip of tongues.

For example:

“If you want to build a big project and you can’t get insurance because of what the terrorists have done for America, you can put the project aside.”
~ George W. Bush

Terrorism has been great for the oil industry. As a “side effect” of terrorism, there is a new Unocal pipeline through Afghanistan and America will soon control Iraq which has $10 trillion in oil reserves, second only to Saudi Arabia. Terrorism has also done booming business for the defense industry as well.

His entire speech here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20021014-4.html

What they want to hide from socialists but compassionate capitalists like Bush can't. Go educate your candidate OhBummer. Teach him 101 facts of capitalism.

I got to say this as well:

Every time I hear Obama's voice I go back to the Uganda and Kenya region in Africa. Idi Amin comes to mind then. Anyone remember that cannibal who lusted after human flesh?

Obama is lusting after power so he could have Americans for lunch. 100 million all over the world already killed by socialists in this century alone. Going to Harvard may have made him polished, but I fear how his energy could be misused. We already saw he was sitting in the American hating pews of Wright. Who knows what else is to come.

In a communication on stammering published in 1915 it was pointed out that we were dealing with a psychoneurotic disturbance, the chief mechanism of which was a conflict produced by resistance against betrayal through speech of certain repressed trends of thought, preeminently of a sexual nature. These repressed trends were found on analysis to refer principally to the Oedipus situation, certain sexual acts or thoughts, masochistic phantasies, tabooed words relating to the sexual, urinary or anal functions (forbidden coprolalia), and, finally, the pleasure relating to early stages of the organization of the libido. Further analytic experience has tended to confirm and widen these observations, and has furnished material for a clearer and more definite formulation of the problem of stammering as a psychoneurotic disorder, particularly as more attention was concentrated on the part played by the oral libido.

Biden stammers too. And his lies are well known over the 30 years. Obama is newbee. However, his stammers are good indications of his performance in the future.
