Here’s A Good One

Q: What do you call Dan Quayle if he’s black?
A: Barack Obama. From Hinderaker:
Barack Obama without a teleprompter is an accident waiting to happen. Sometimes he reveals his ignorance of history, sometimes he stumbles incoherently, and sometimes he blurts out what he really believes. That’s what happened today when Obama tried to talk about Georgia, a topic that has embarrassed him more than once already, beginning when, in the first hours after the invasion, he parroted the Russian line.
Today Obama equated Russia’s invasion of Georgia with our toppling of Saddam Hussein:
Democrat Barack Obama scolded Russia again on Wednesday for invading another country’s sovereign territory while adding a new twist: the United States, he said, should set a better example on that front, too…
So our “charging into” Iraq–with dozens of allies, supported by a U.N. resolution, as a last resort after six months of build-up and negotiations, to unseat one of the cruelest dictators of modern times who had twice invaded neighboring states, was in violation of more than a dozen U.N. resolutions and was responsible for the deaths of something like two million people, who was shooting at American aircraft and had tried to assassinate a former President of the United States, in Obama’s childish mind, was just like Russia’s “charging into” Georgia, which resembles Saddam’s Iraq in no respect. And, of course, we invaded a horrifying charnel-house so as to establish a democracy, whereas Russia invaded a peaceful democracy that it wants to re-incorporate into its empire.
Four years ago, I said I could never vote for a Democrat because they were so very unready to lead a nation in a complex world.
I feel today that I may have been almost too hard on Kerry, by comparison.

Obambi makes Kerry look like a Churchill.

Quite unfair to Dan Quayle. Obambi is going to make Dan look like Einstein before this is over.
But afer all of this he will just get reelected over and over again just like the lefts favorite Klansman Robert Byrd.

Less than a week after Obama says “Americans’ greatest moral failure in my lifetime has been that we still don’t abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me” It is revealed that he has half-brother living in grinding poverty in some 3rd world hellhole.
The man is a walking joke. If the media & boomer lefties didn’t worship the ground he walked on his candidacy never would have made it past Iowa.
