Obama the GaffeMeister
We’ve all heard so much about how bright and how articulate Obama is. And he does deliver a terrific speech. The problem is speeches are usually written by others, and teleprompter technology makes it easy, with some practice, to deliver a Cicero-like performance. After Sarah Palin’s speech at the RNC, the very first criticisms went like “She can read a teleprompter—so what?”.
Well Obama supporters, I submit that your same criticism applies to your candidate. He can read a teleprompter and deliver a speech written for him. And that’s about the extent of it. Take away the prepared speech and he is lost, revealing his limits of even basic knowledge that you’d expect a candidate for POTUS to know. He has a lot of trouble thinking on his feet. His non-prepared words make Dan Quayle, reviled for misspelling Potato, look brilliant. And his misttatement of facts about his own background reveal that even when stating things he should know all about, a generous portion of BS added to it for effect renders the whole story BS.
I offer for evidence the following Obama gaffe compilations. Watch these vids, Obama suppoprters, then try to tell us Palin isn’t as or more qualified that Obama.
This is just a sample. There are many more.
Alright, one more. Couldn’t resist. This is Ted “Hic” Kennedy referring to Obama as “Osama Obama”.

Two things. First he stumbled with the uh’s and ah’s on the O’Reilly interview so much I almost lost it.
Second, I understand Governor Palins teleprompter went out in the middle of her speech but because she was so well prepared it didn’t matter. What a gal

You know, I heard that about the teleprompter going out during Palin’s speech. If that is true, then she absolutely is vastly more qualified than Obama to be President. That is because Obama’s main qualification is he is a great speaker (with prepared speech and teleprompter).

But Robert, if he can pronounce all the wrong words correctly, then it’s okay

Agree, BonBon. His stuttering was annoying. And he really didn’t answer truthfully! O’Reilly could have laid into him even more!
All that “uh uh” is just his own way of stalling for a while to come up with some BS answer.
