Obamarama! Let’s enjoy Barack’s gaffes, mistakes, blunders and the other stupid stuff in his first 100 days

Obamarama! Let’s enjoy Barack’s gaffes, mistakes, blunders and the other stupid stuff in his first 100 days

2009 April 29

Let’s have some fun in a look back at Obama’s first 100 days! We will look at the gaffes, mistakes, blunders and the other stupid stuff by the President.

As you enjoy - please think: what if it was George Bush that accomplished all this in just 100 days? Would someone who has done all this stuff in such a short period of time be considered “brilliant?”

I will add to the list as I find more stuff.

1) The President started his streak of gaffes, mistakes, blunders and the other stupid stuff - in his inaugural speech! He stated that “44 Americans have taken the oath,” not realizing that Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24rd president. So, the correct number is 43.

As we shall see, this was a sign of things to come.

2) Is he still there? Could someone please tell the President - that isn’t a door!

3) Duck!

4) Teleprompter. I am not sure if I have seen anyone so lost when experiencing teleprompter issues. The President gives the impression that he is not quick on his feet - and certainly not brilliant.

Compare Sarah Palin’s speech at the Republican National Convention while experiencing teleprompter problems.

5) Remember Biden’s comments about Chief Justice John Roberts and Obama’s reaction?

6) Barack Obama jokes about Nancy Reagan having séances in the White House. He later called her to apologize after the AP noted that although she had consulted astrologers, “she did not hold conversations with the dead”:

7) Obama breaches protocol by shaking a serviceman’s hand as he’s saluting him. It would have done Barack some good by serving his country in the military - George Bush was a fighter pilot and gave a great salute.

8) As the President lists Al-Qaeda terrorist attacks (outside the US) over the last several years, he seems to have forgotten Madrid.

9) Stupid Stuff - announcing that you are going to close Gitmo in a year without a plan to close it in a year.

10) Stupid stuff - reversing the Mexico City Policy to promote abortion overseas, especially after those campaigning for Obama claimed that he would reduce abortions.

11) The President it seems has a pension for offending people. What about Obama calling the capitol of Canada, Iowa? Well, I guess Iowa does sound like Ottawa.

12) And then what about German ingenuity? I am sorry Mr. President, but America did not invent the automobile! Maybe that is why he got a cold shoulder from Merkel.

13) Obama mispronounces the word Orion - the “i” is pronounced as “eye.” Can you imagine how the poor guy feels as the President is missing up on his company’s name?

14) How about if you choose the caption for this one!

15) Stupid stuff - Obama cowardly reinstates the ban on off-shore drilling during the Stimulus Bill saga. Our economic and nation’s security depends on being energy independent - thank you Mr. President in placing us in harms way.

16) Stupid stuff - remember Obama’s “You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” comment? His war on Rush Limbaugh backfired and Limbaugh is enjoying higher ratings.

17) Stupid stuff - breaking the campaign promise of transparency by shoving the Stimulus Bill through without reading it or leaving room for debate.

18) Stupid stuff - wasting jet fuel in economic hard times to sign the Stimulus Bill in Colorado.

19) Stupid stuff - by signing the Stimulus Bill, Obama personally approved the AIG bonuses!

Let’s take some time in saying goodbye to all those Obama nominees that had to drop out because of tax issues and other sundry scandals.

20) Bill Richardson

21) Tom Daschle

22) Nancy Killefer

23) Joseph Cannon

24) Dr Sanjay Gupta

25) Charles Freeman

26) H. Rodgin Cohen

27) I also would like to include Blago! After all, his ejection from being Governor is directly tied in the replacement of Obama’s senate seat.

28) Stupid stuff - Timothy Geithner

29) Stupid Stuff - Obama administration’s taking the Census (which determines House representation) out of the hands of the Commerce Department and givingit to Rahm Emanuel.

This is tyranny.

30) Hero - Sen. Gregg Withdraws as Commerce Secretary Nominee!

31) Gordon Brown presents the new President with: a pen holder carved from the timbers of HMS Gannett, a sister ship of HMS Resolute; the commissioning certificate of HMS Resolute; and a seven-volume biography of Winston Churchill. In return, the Prime minister gets 25 DVDS, which don’t work in Britain:

32) St. Patrick’s Day Parties. Remember the excuse the White House gave in regards to Obama’s tacky gift to Brown? He wasn’t getting enough sleep! Mr. President - please party responsibly!

33) I am sure that the President’s party spirit and not enough sleep contributed to yet another teleprompter gaffe. During the St.Patrick’s Day festivities he read the wrong speech on the teleprompter and “thanked himself for inviting himself!”

34) He offended Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, when Obama rescheduled their meeting from St Patrick’s Day to Saturday because of the Saint Patrick’s day festivities. Parties are important.

35) During the same week, as Obama is pounding fear mongering on the economy, he did a special interview with ESPN for the purpose of choosing his picks for the NCAA tournament. I can’t for the life of me remember, when a future college basketball Hall of Fame Coach criticized a President. But coach Krzyzewski of Duke, gave Obama some advice: “Somebody said that, you know, we’re not in President Obama’s Final Four, you know. And as much as I respect what he’s doing, really, you know, the economy is something that he should focus on, you know, probably more than the brackets. And so why would I care about that?” Ouch, or should I say - Man!

36) The Special Olympics Comment - not funny. Why is the President of the United States trashing on kids?

Why was this slight swept under the rug? Can you imagine if the President said his bowling score was like:

a racial group?

sexual preference?

the “guys” at Gitmo? (They could be living in a neighborhood near you!).

public school teachers?

leftist radicals like Bill Ayers and Ward Churchill?

union bosses?

how about the Doom Team of Pelosi, Reid, Frank, and Dodd?

Hollywood elites?

his pals at ACORN?

people who believe in global warming?

the guys and gals at MSNBC?

Putin?

As you can see, his words actually targeted the very identity of a person - how are those kids supposed to feel, when the President of the United States feels that it is OK to target them? What about their parents and their families?

37) Obama Town Hall Questioners Were Campaign Backers

38) Replaced by a flat screen TV monitor - what’s a teleprompter to do?

39) The Creepy Laugh while being “Punch Drunk”

0

40) Stupid stuff - breaking a campaign promise and signing the Omnibus Spending Bill with over 8,000 earmarks.

41) Stupid stuff - signing the Omnibus Spending Bill that provides 50 million dollars for China’s One Child Policy and forced abortions.

42) Stupid stuff - trying to promote the idea that our injured warriors in the military should pay for their own medical insurance.

43) Stupid stuff - Removing the ban on spending federal funds for embryonic stem cell research.

44) Stupid stuff - the inability to comprehend that Islamic Terrorists do not respect girlie men.

1

45) Of course the talk was the President’s gift to the Queen of England. An iPod is an interesting gift - it is a step up from the DVD pack he gave to PM Gordon Brown.

46) The President was successful in keeping his streak alive in offending somebody! This time he was able to offend Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland, by referring to Great Britain as only England.

2

47) 12 teleprompters! I know what folks were wondering - and yes! Not only was there the beloved teleprompter, but there were 12 for the President’s European trip! Now that’s what I’m talking about.

“The President will touch down at Stansted Airport tomorrow and be taken to the US ambassador’s residence in Regent’s Park. Accompanying the party will be a total of 500 officials including kitchen staff, 35 vehicles in all, four speech writers and 12 teleprompters.”

48) Must not touch!

Hot Air quotes Time Magazine that Michelle broke protocol by touching the Queen:

“The rules are set in stone, and so the eagerly watching British media sputtered when the First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, briefly put her hand on the back of Queen Elizabeth II as the two chatted at a reception. Etiquette is quite stern about this (”Whatever you do, don’t touch the Queen!”). In 2000 John Howard, then Prime Minister of Australia, got plenty of criticism for apparently putting his arm around the Queen to direct her through a crowd. He denied actually touching her, but photographs suggest that he came quite close. (Another former Australian Prime Minister did put his hand on the Queen in a similar circumstance and was later branded “the Lizard of Oz.”)”

It is nice that after all the talk about how the Obamas will make us proud (as compared to that uncouth cowboy), that the First Lady broke time honored protocol and freaked out those Brits.

Again, I think that it would be a good idea to hire some of the folks that the President plans to fire. Some of them have probably paid their taxes - and I am sure they would know a whole lot more about protocol.

49) The President fumbles a question from a British reporter.

3

50) That’s quite a bow for a President! This new diplomatic stuff by Obama with a European flair: wanting to negotiate with the moderates in the Taliban (isn’t that a oxymoron?), changing the term Global War on Terror to “Overseas Contingency Operation,” and now bowing like a school girl to King Abdullah.

Ed Morrissey from Hot Air put together a video comparing his bow before the Queen of England and King Abdullah.

Ed comments -

People criticized George Bush for holding hands with the Saudi king, but holding hands does not signify submission to anothers authority, and certainly not in the manner that Obama’s bow does here. Holding hands is a sign of friendship. And for those who believe that a bow is another sign of friendship, note that Obama didn’t execute a bow like this for the Queen of the UK, and the Saudi monarch doesn’t bother to reciprocate, either.

Well, I just guess it’s a different world now.

51) Bow Denial! Bow denial? BOW DENIAL? If there is one thing that gets me - it’s bow denial!

5

52) Obama appreciates folks who evaluates the world with racist comments!

I think our President just appreciates it when a guy speaks his mind - even when he makes racist comments! Remember Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva and his stating that the global financial crisis was caused by “the irrational behaviour of white people with blue eyes”? I think there is a feeling of comradeship here, since Lula is also a Socialist.

Boston Globe LONDON: President Barack Obama wildly popular the world over says he isn’t the globe’s most admired politician. He says that title belongs to
Brazil’s president.

During a lunch at the Group of 20 summit in London, Obama shook hands with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and said:“This is my man, right here. I love this guy.”

53) Watch out Eastern Europe, Comrade Obama is about to sell you out - how nice.

What a difference the G20 party will make.

The pair also discussed thorny issues including NATO’s eastwards expansion, long opposed by Moscow which sees it as a power-grab by the West’s former Cold War-era military bloc into former Soviet territory.

“Yesterday I spoke about this with my new comrade President Barack Obama,” Medvedev told reporters traveling with him to the London summit.

They also discussed US plans for a missile defence shield, based in former communist-bloc countries which are now members of NATO and the European Union, like the Czech Republic.” LONDON (AFP)

Remember when Medvedev exposed Obama’s secret letter asking for help with Iran, and in turn offered to drop Bush’s plan for the missile defense shield in Eastern Europe? How about the Russian invasion of Georgia?

How nice, Obama is exemplifying the importance of thugs liking you instead of respecting you. I wonder if we have the affection and respect of the new eastern democracies of Europe.

54) Bruni backs off from Obama kiss

Now pardon me. My parents are from Europe, and I thought they kissed everybody!

The Sun - “FRANCE’S first lady broke with protocol today as she held out a frosty hand to welcome Barack Obama.

Stunning Carla Bruni was business-like in her greeting — while her hubby treated the US President’s wife to a hug and Continental double kiss.

The former model gave customary pecks on both cheeks to Michelle Obama and other dignitaries when the couple arrived in France.

But when it came to the dashing US President the beauty kept a noticeable distance.”

Check out the video, Did France’s First Lady Back Off From Obama Kiss? at Breitbart.com

55) Maybe Obama doesn’t like the French after all!

The French got a taste of how our President handles a news conference:

President Obama held a much ballyhooed town hall in Strasbourg, France, on Friday, touted by the White House as an outreach to Europeans on the second leg of the president’s “listening” tour.

But the first person he called on was an American — and the third, too. By the end of the hourlong session, not a single French citizen got to ask the U.S. president a question. Washington Times

Good for him - the offending people streak continues.

56) OK, I believe that it’s not the teleprompter’s fault.

Thanks Michelle - did the teleprompter make a mistake? Is that big screen TV monitor going to come back?

6

You know what - he just lost his place. And when he does, nothing happens. You go teleprompter!

57) Obama is Mr Congeniality as North Korea launches missile.

I am sure we all agree that our President was one liked guy at the G20. I think it was because he didn’t make a fuss when all those G20 leaders blew off his requests for help.

But nothing more exemplified his “nice guy” status was his “do nothing” strategy when North Korea launched it’s missile. Referring that hot potato to the U.N., was the best way of not getting European leaders mad at you.

Now I know North Korea’s missile fizzled in the Pacific - but look at that happy communist little guy with all his followers. I am sure that Obama being Mr. Congeniality will go a long way in the little guy’s evil plans for more missile launches.

58) Our president thinks Austrian is a language

There is no Austrian language: Austrians mostly speak German. But then again, maybe if those Austrians spent some time developing their own language - our President would be right on the mark!

7

There is another thing that is very nice: how the MSM supports our President - even Tom Raum with the AP concurs that Austrian is a language.

“It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate,” said Obama, a former senator. “There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian — wheeling and dealing, and, you know, people are pursuing their interests, and everybody has their own particular issues and their own particular politics.” (thanks NewsBusted)

59) Way to go - Obama ticks off the French and Germans!

One thing is sure: our President knows how to offend people. And to tick off the French and Germans - shows some chutzpah for such a Leftist.

Thanks Hot Air:

Obama Bashing in Bavaria and Paris
SPIEGEL ONLINE

US President Barack Obama says Turkey’s future is in the European Union. Not everyone agrees. Numerous politicians in Germany have gone on the attack, and even French President Sarkozy is unimpressed. Turkey’s role at the NATO summit has soured the mood.

During his stay in Europe, everybody seemed eager to be President Barack Obama’s friend. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi threw his arm around the US leader. French President Nicolas Sarkozy seemed to be on Obama’s heels wherever he went during the G-20 meeting in London, the NATO summit in Strasbourg and the EU get-together in Prague. Even Russian President Dmitry Medvedev seemed to be enjoying his proximity to the American superstar.

Now that Obama is in Turkey, however, some political camps — particularly in Germany — have discovered the political efficacy of Obama bashing. While in Ankara, Obama reiterated his support for Turkish membership in the European Union, a position he first voiced on Sunday in Prague. That doesn’t sit well with some…

…Markus Ferber, the CSU’s lead candidate in European Parliament elections set for early June, echoed his party colleague. “There is no question that the US has a voice in NATO. But when it comes to membership in its own club, the EU decides by itself,” he said. “We don’t need any tutoring from abroad.” Read about more ticked off Europeans

Good for him - the offending people streak continues.

60) Stupid stuff - The President declares that America is not a Christian nation to the Turkish Parliament.

61) “Compared to Turkey and how old this civilization is, America is still very new.” Turkey was founded in 1923!

62) Stupid stuff - President Obama’s desire to rescind “conscience protections” that protect health care workers and organizations who choose not to provide abortions or other medical procedures that violate their convictions.

63) What’s up with Obama, Despots and Dictators? We all remember his bow to King Abdullah, his apologizing for America to all the socialist nations in Europe, and His loosening restrictions with Cuba. But now - kumbaya with Hugo?

Please check out the photos below: notice the firm handshake between them in the picture bottom center. Now go up to the upper right picture. Are they shaking thumb to thumb? Are you kidding me? Is this the secret despot handshake?


What could they be talking about? Maybe they got the secret Despot Handshake wrong…

8

64) “I’m grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old.”

Fox News -Actually, the president misspoke on the sequence of events in Cuba. The invasion of CIA-trained rebels at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba occurred in April 1961. Obama was born August 4, 1961.

65) Obama requests that Georgetown University covers the name of Jesus - but then he actually quotes Jesus in his speech.

9

66) Stupid stuff - The report by Homeland Security: Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.

67) Stupid stuff - Janet Napolitano as director of the Department of Homeland Security.

68) Stupid stuff - Obama fails to recognize the National Tax Day Tea Party events.

69) ABC Finds Obama Goofed, Science Funding Went Up Under Reagan

70) Barack asking his cabinet to shave 100 million from their budgets: it may be a lot of money to Gibbs, but it’s like the captain of the Titanic asking his crew to make a snowball from the iceberg and throw it overboard to take care of the problem.

0

71) President Obama found himself ahead of the teleprompter -

President Obama’s speech at the National Academy of Sciences Monday morning hit a brief snag when Obama got ahead of his script.

Laying his plan for a President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks – before realizing he’d already introduced them, earlier in his speech.

“In addition to John – sorry, the – I just noticed I jumped the gun here,” Obama said, pausing for several seconds as he looked at the prompter. “Go ahead. Move it up. I had already introduced all you guys.”

The audience, which gave the president a warm reception, responded with a quiet laugh.

more about “Obama corrects the teleprompter“, posted with vodpod

There has been a long standing struggle between the President and the beloved teleprompter. If you remember, Obama replaced it with a large screen TV monitor at his last press conference.

Correcting the teleprompter in front of everybody can’t be good for it’s self esteem - I honestly think it’s giving out a 110%. Maybe if they both sat down together to work things out…

72) White House terrifies New York City. Maybe Barack is just displaying that “gallows humor” again!

2

72) Stupid stuff - Kathleen Sebelius as director of Health and Human Services.

73) h/t to Hot Air - President Obama finally acknowledges the existence of Tea Parties, but does it with his usual ridicule:

3

Mr. President, there is a reason for those Tea Parties - leave the ridicule behind and honor the convictions of Americans that you represent. You are their President also - aren’t you?

74) Come on, let’s include some Joe. h/t to Hot Air Biden’s “symphony of stupid”

4

75) Let’s not make Gibbs feel unwanted. h/t to Hot Air again!

5

I hope you enjoyed this list - the President just keeps on giving! Again, I will add to the list as I find more stuff.

And again, please ask yourself: what if it was George Bush that accomplished all this in just a 100 days? Would someone who has done all this stuff in such a short period of time - be considered “brilliant?”
