Following are a few Obama-isms:1. During a news conference in Israel Obama declared, “just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is my committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran.”
Obama’s committee? Obama isn't even a member of the Banking Committee, let alone its chairman. Why would he make such an arrogant, far-fetched boast?
2. He once said he'd visited 57 states, not including Alaska and Hawaii, and still had “one left to go.”
This may not have been a gaffe. He may have been referring to the 57 states of Islam.
3. He confused Sioux Falls, South Dakota with Sioux City, Iowa.
4. Said Arkansas is closer to Kentucky than to Illinois.
5. He claimed Iran doesn't “pose a serious threat to us,” then somehow recalled the next day that he has indeed “made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”
6. In 2007 he announced that tornadoes had killed 10,000 people in Greensburg, Kansas even though the real number was 12.
7. On the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement saying, “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”
Actually, Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965.
8. In Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Obama showed off his lack of knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by commenting on a lack of translators. He said “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.”
The real reason it’s harder to use translators in Afghanistan is that Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.
Barack Obama’s gaffes are mostly ignored or covered up by the media.
