If you will post where you got this quiz I will take it. Otherwise screw you.
@RABEL222,
I won't for your sake. You'll just fail it and embarass yourself.
@Finn dAbuzz,
If
W had said those things,
the liberals 'd have accused him of
STUPIDITY.
I wonder who it cud bee
eeeeeee
@OmSigDAVID,
Considering how very much Obama says in public and the fact that his every word is recorded, a certain number of gaffes are to be expected and his are no greater in number than any other national figure.
What I find funnier and more telling than the gaffes like "57 states," and " speaking Austrian," are the rambling, incoherent statement he makes when the telprompter isn't available.
Of course Democrats ignore his gaffes and pounce on everyone a Republican makes. It suits their narrative that Republicans are stupid, and the implied narrative that they, as well as their political leaders, are brilliant.
@Finn dAbuzz,
So this is something you made up yourself. More conservative B.S.?
@RABEL222,
You apparently are having a tougher time with this than I expected anyone would...even you.
Who cares who created the quiz?
For each question the answer is Obama.
If you don't believe he said these things, I can't make you.
@Finn dAbuzz,
Kind of stupid; a public figure like Obama is going to get media coverage, but your's will not.
Let's start with GW Bush - then follow with Obama. Fair comparison.
@cicerone imposter,
Mine?
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
This reply of yours has proven, once again, that the liberals ( yes, I know you deny being a liberal) can't be bothered with reading the posts of people you categorize as being the enemy.
The thread doesn't attempt to suggest that Obama has had more gaffes than any other president.
What it does suggest is that the Left has an unbalanced focus on gaffes as respects Republican and Democrat presidents.
Be my guest, and line up all of the Bush gaffes in his first term. My bet is that there isn't more than a plus or minus swing of 10% between Bush and Obama.
@Finn dAbuzz,
Just the first term? LOL Who's rule is that? Yours? keeriste!
How about comparing GW Bush to all the presidents who served two terms? Fair enough for you?

Good Lord you're a fool.
If you want to compare the number of Bush gaffes to the number of Obama gaffes then you have to limit Bush gaffes to a single term...unless of course you want to fix the comparison.
Fine, compare Bush to all the other presidents who served two terms, but be sure to draw the comparison between two-termers who played on the roughly the same playing field of modern media.
This should go without saying, but I've no doubt you are prepared to compare Bush gaffes to those of Democrat presidents of 50 or more years ago.
Try and stop being such a fool.
@Finn dAbuzz,
No; gaffes are gaffes whether it's over one year or 50 years.
Some people are gaffe-prone. I count one of them to be GW Bush, because he lacks English grammar skills.
Here's the "Top 10 Bushisms."

@cicerone imposter,
Oh, OK CI
Your addled brain seems to think it is fair comparing the number of gaffes in an 8 year period to those in a period less than 4 years. I'm sure that, somehow, makes sense.
In any case, the issue presented herein is not that Obama is more prone to gaffes than any other president, but that Liberals who take it as an axiom that conservatives are stupid, deliberately ignore the gaffes of their favorites.
If you really want to prove your point then don't simply provide us with a link to a biased website that recounts Bush's gaffes, show us how the number of W's gaffes in his first term exceeded those of O's.
I dare you.
@Finn dAbuzz,
42. "I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president." --as quoted in Bob Woodward's Bush at War

It hardly seems likely that
W actually said that.
It seems more likely that Woodward was lying for his book.
@OmSigDAVID,
You'd have to prove that. What you think doesn't matter; it's what you can prove.
@Finn dAbuzz,
You wrote,
Quote:Your addled brain seems to think it is fair comparing the number of gaffes in an 8 year period to those in a period less than 4 years.
I was being rhetorical, but you'd miss that because of your "addled brain." However, the fact of the matter is that any age difference between any two presidents is irrelevant. Point made.
@Finn dAbuzz,
Quote:My bet is that there isn't more than a plus or minus swing of 10% between Bush and Obama
How much are you willing to actually bet?
@OmSigDAVID,
Then, your post is meaningless. Questioning what somebody wrote in a book is meaningless without proof; it becomes endless b.s. based on no criteria - like most of what you post on a2k.
