Unforced Errors Are Sinking Obama

[Geee]

PJMedia:

President Barack Obama’s gaffes, tone-deaf statements, and inadvertent betrayals of his elitist true beliefs now arrive with such frequency that they leave one wondering if he’s deliberately trying to lose — until one recalls that he was the same way four years ago.

By May 2008, Michelle Malkin already had a mountain of evidence, which she acknowledged was only a sample, that when away from his teleprompter, this alleged super-smarty is in reality a walking, talking “perpetual gaffe machine.” Her itemization included his reference to the country’s “57 states” and his description of Arkansas as being “in the middle” of Kentucky and Obama’s home state of Illinois. Later in that year’s campaign, we were treated to a stumbling, bumbling candidate describing asthmatics as needing “breathalyzers” and “inhalators” and having the country’s energy problems solved if only drivers would properly inflate their tires.

Tin-eared statements which would certainly have kept any Republican or conservative and almost any other Democrat from winning the presidency included but certainly weren’t limited to how he would want to handle a daughter’s unplanned pregnancy (“if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby”), gun control (“even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress”), and energy policy (“if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can. It’s just that it will bankrupt them”). Just a few of the betrayals of his true beliefs and insufferable elitism included stubborn support of his fiercely racist pastor of nearly two decades until it became obviously untenable, his characterization of rural Pennsylvanians and Midwesterners as “cling(ing) to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them,” and of course his “spread the wealth around” statement to Joe the Plumber.

Unforced Errors Are Sinking Obama

 

I disagree with the premise of this title...

 

These are not "unforced" errors by Obama. They are "forced" by his very nature, his world and/or self view, and his intellectual DNA.

 

These statements and actions are the only way that he can express himself or act.

 

Expecting "The One" to be any different is like expecting a fish not to swim or a bird not to fly.

I agree with you. Obama is a tool of the Left set on a deliberate path of destruction of the Constitution, capitalism, freedom, independence, and religion. Obama is simply over his head, all flubs are narcissism, ego, mind and tongue getting in the way of a teleprompter, interviewer or in front of a fawning crowd.
