Barack Hussein Obama
Has Been to 57 States? He Must Have Confused Them With Countries He Wished Were States.
That is not the premise of this editorial. Yes, you can mock him for this obvious gaffe. The problem, to me, is the fact that it was not brought to the same proportions as Dan Quayle adding an E to the end of potato, or when President Bush misspeaks about something, or when John McCain makes stumbles/jumbles his words(that makes him old and senile). Further expounding the perceived truths that there is a terribly left tilt on all main stream media.
June 15, 1992 a day that saw the death of one young(relative to other politicians) man's political career. Dan Quayle was not only lambasted, his political life was forever ruined and tainted. All because of the media's preconceived impressions of Senator Quayle, most of which came about after the 1988 Vice-Presidential debate with Lloyd Bentsen, that he was a naive young goofball. On this now famous day, Mr. Quayle, was overseeing a spelling bee (for a photo-shoot) in Trenton, New Jersey. A young man was spelling potato(e) on the board. The young man(William Figueroa) spelled the word correctly, but Vice President Quayle urged the young man to add a “e” to the end (based on a flash card he was handed). That was all it took, that satisfied the standard set for this man's intelligence, by the media. He was never given another chance by the American public.
Countless times you have people mocking G-Dubya for something he said. Though he is prone to saying something that does not make complete sense, you have to keep in mind that speaking is not a talent given to all. Personally, I am more interested in what someone stands for, understands, or represents other than failing to use correct grammar and syntax during a speech. I also love the way G-Dubya speaks. I think we all need some more “stupid cowboy” mannerisms in our life.
The new found flash point in the media is John McCain's age. The media vultures are hovering around waiting for the first incident, the first sign of weakness if you will. Ready to strike into a vulnerable(in their opinion) trait of John McCain. He has not given them much meat yet, but give him time. There will be some small blunder in a town hall meeting, or at some stump speech. Obama will subtlety bring it up by saying something, “John McCain is losing his bearings”. The media will get their meal and will drive their thoughts on his age into every man, woman, and child(that actually listens to them) in the United States.
Honestly, I do not think that Barack Hussein Obama has illusions of 57-60 states. It looks like, at least to me, he was understandably tired. The lack of coverage of this gaffe points and reinforces to the glaring left tilt of most media. Right now imagine if that was John Sydney McCain tiredly laid claim to 57-60 states... Why were imagining, imagine John McCain went to a white supremacist church, imagine he was “friendly” to a terrorist who blew up abortion clinics, imagine what radical image John Sydney McCain would have because of the media. People, there IS a political double standard in this nation. Laugh and enjoy Barack's gaffe, put all of this information into context, and THANK GOD for alternative media
