Barack Hussein Obama long ago established himself as a clod who, without a teleprompter from which to read his lines, stumbles, bumbles, and “umms…aahs…wells…y’knows” as if extemporaneous speaking were a foreign language. How this guy got through law school makes one wonder whether affirmative action played a major role.
His outright gaffes, such as when he said he had campaigned hard in all 57 states, are another issue. See Michelle Malkin on the subject of Obama, “the gaffe machine:” http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MWZjY2YzZWVkMjdkMDEzMGQ0MjJkNTUyN2FkNmMzYTc=#more.
Now he’s been joined on the stump by Senator Joe Biden as the Chosen One’s Chosen Soon-To-Be-VP-Nominee. In their first joint appearance, and that’s joint as in joined together not joint as what Bubba never inhaled, both gave indications as to how much fun the next 3 1/2 months will be.
Biden has lots of ’splainin’ to do, concerning why Obama wasn’t ready to be president a few months ago but amazingly achieved that readiness in so short a period of time. A quick study, maybe?
I wonder, too, whether Barack asked Joe during the vetting process what he really meant when he called the junior senator from Illinois a “clean” African-American and why he plagiarized a speech back in 1988 and why he felt the need to get hair plugs. Are clean African-Americans the exception to some rule? When he plagiarized from Brit pol, Neil Kinnock, was he merely giving a backhanded compliment to Kinnock? When he wore those hair plugs on the floor of the Senate, was he really just making a statement about male pattern baldness?
This duo could very well come to rival Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello or Martin and Lewis for their comedy routines, slips of the lips, and gaffes du jour.
That first joint appearance was a great start. ...
