GIs’ lives ‘wasted’ was slip of tongue says Obama

Barack Obama (pictured) told a crowd in Iowa that the nation’s Iraq war dead were lives “wasted” then claimed it was a “slip of the tongue.”

In talking to the Des Moines Register newspaper later, he did some Kerry backpedaling by explaining … “what I meant to say was”…

Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry’s decision to not enter the 2008 race was blamed in part on a bipartisan backlash from his remark that people who did poorly in school would end up “stuck in Iraq.” He later claimed his remark was misinterpreted and said he was sorry if anyone was offended.

What sunk the Kerry bid to run again for the presidency may not derail Barack Hussein Obama. Why? Obama is still the darling of the media and can do no wrong right now.

Kerry, on the other hand, broke their hearts in 2004 when he blew leads in the polls and managed to pull defeat from the jaws of victory in the last presidential election. The liberal media seemed to be looking for just such a gaff to keep on the front page long enough to bury Kerry’s plans to run again.

In the meanwhile, the misspeaking Obama can do no wrong even though critics say the speech was scripted and the
comment was intentional.
