Obama Gaffe #2,923

I found this gem at Little Green Footballs. Enjoy!
“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.” (The Weekly Standard)
Now, I’m no historian, but I am pretty sure that more than one bomb fell on Pearl Harbor. Paradise Driver, do I have that right? Come to think of it, the bombs didn’t just fall, they were dropped (and the torpedoes were launched) by the Japanese navy.
Seems to me that someone who grew up in Hawaii would know these info nuggets.
UPDATE: Let’s make this one Obama Gaffe #2,924. Apparently, The Obamessiah is planning to serve two and a half terms as POTUS now:
“(T)he objective of this trip was to have substantive discussions with people like President Karzai or Prime Minister Maliki or President Sarkozy or others who I expect to be dealing with over the next eight to 10 years.
And it’s important for me to have a relationship with them early, that I start listening to them now, getting a sense of what their interests and concerns are.” (H/T - Ace)

So that mean old bomb just up and fell on Pearl Harbor all by itself eh. Obama is so like Carter, he just can’t believe that anyone (except for the members of the Bush Administration) is evil.
Peace, love and butterflies y’all.
He should proof before he reads those little speeches! Michelle can’t raise children and get every little detail correct.
Wow, he said bomb instead of bombs. Yuse guys are right: he never be the “world leader” that McCain is….

Hey John, Czechoslovakia hasn’t existed for some time. He should probably take Bush’s advice: “…fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can’t get fooled again.”
The Japanese didn’t drop half of everything in the fleets inventory on Pearl. They dropped a magic bomb!
It hit one battlewagon, exploded and then bounced over to the next ship and did it again. Repeat as needed.
After the war the Bonsai Magic Bomb Co. became the Acme Magic Bullet Co. It’s where Oswald got his ammo for the Dallas show.
Wow Randall awesome huffpo link!
You must be one of the KoolKosKiddies!!
Ky person – Sure. Those Japanese were peaceful and only “mistakenly” attacked Pearl.
Deanna – It’s obvious that he doesn’t listen to what he’s saying. He didn’t even stutter or correct himself.
Randal – Yeah, it’s our fault that he cannot read his teleprompter, that he isn’t paying attention to what he is saying, or that he won’t fire his speech writer. Maybe he’ll do better in some of the other 57 states:
“It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”
Ride Fast – Arlen Specter supports that theory.
TW – I don’t think he reads HuffPo. At least I hope not. I think he Googled “John McCain mistakes.” Naturally, he found dozens, because the MSM reports on them all the time. This Obama gaffe? I’m still waiting for CNN or PMSMBC to report it. Guess they’re too busy following Obama around Afghanistan like lovesick teens.
Did he really say 57 States? That’s a riot.
MikeB – See for yourself.
There aren’t 57 States?
Lets see, there are the original 48 that existed before we came “under God”.
Then we added that ice cube for cooling Texas’ beer. And then Paradise because it was so lonely out dere in one o’ dem oceans someplace. Over by Oz, I think.
Then we annexed the following States:
* Denial
* Disbelief
* Confusion
* Acceptance
* Dependency
* Refusal
* Redundant Duplication of Partisan Political Rhetoric and Talk
Yup, there are 57 States.
whitey,
What the fuck are you talking about…..just google McCain and Czechoslovakia and a shitload of links pop up.
I’m not a political Nazi. I understand that you’re all about polarizing this country; ya know “Us vs. Them; that’s cool if that’s what you’re into. I’m not about “my party is the best”, “dems rule, repubs suck”.
I have no idea what the fuck the HuffingtonPost is? or some faggity KoolKosKiddies. I don’t need CNN, MSNBC, Fox News etc to tell me how to think.
Dear Wyatt, If Randal can comment like that, am I welcome to stick around too?
(That’s just a little liberal joke. You’ve made me feel perfectly welcome even when I disagree).
I’m sure you’ve taken Obama to task on substantive things in other posts, but I feel it’s silly to make such a big deal over a couple of flubs. In both cases it’s obvious what he meant.
