Obama-Biden Gaffes: Obama Calls Biden Next President of US and Biden Calls Obama … Barack America
If you bet day one for the first gaffe by Obama-Biden 2008 … YOU WON!!!
It didn’t take long for Obama and Biden to make their first political gaffe as Democratic ticket. In fact it only took one speech, their very first speech together introducing the Democratic ticket. Barack Obama introduced his new VP ticket running mate Joseph Biden as the next President of the United States. Freudian slip? A rather shaking start out of the box for both Obama and Biden.
But after today’s Obama-Biden speeches to a massive crowd in Springfield, Ill., many reporters are rolling back the tape and asking each other, “Did he really say that?”
When introducing his running mate, Obama said, “So let me introduce to you the next president – the next vice president of the US of America, Joe Biden.”
However, the gaffes were not over yet. When Joseph Biden introduced Obama he called him “Barack America”. GEEZ! Flopping Aces makes a great point in saying that Biden cannot even get his ticket mates name right but at least Biden did not refer to Obama as Osama. Just One Minute makes an even better point and takes the context right from Biden’s actual speech, “You know, you learn a lot of things being up close with a guy.” However, Biden didn’t learn Obama’s name.
First Obama was the Obamamessiah, then The Chosen One, now we will be referred to as Barack America … can you stand it?
And then when it was Biden’s turn to speak, the Delaware senator called the presumptive Democratic nominee “Barack America” instead of Barack Obama.
“My friends, I don’t have to tell you, this election year the choice is clear. One man stands ready to deliver change we desperately need. A man I’m proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next president of the United States, Barack America,” Biden said, per ABC News’ Sunlen Miller.

New McCain Ad … Joe Biden Voices Concern of Obama’s Inexperience to be President
Another political gaffe by Obama, this time its his choice for VP … The Obama campaign can spin it all they want, Joseph Biden said it.
The problem with Obama’s pick of Biden as his VP running mate … Obama already has to deal with a political ad where his VP thinks and has stated that Obama does not have the experience to be President.
“… the presidency is not something that lends itself to on the job training.”
“I stand by that statement,” Biden said. Then the ad twists the knife by airing this Biden quote about McCain:

Obama/McCain at Saddleback with Rick Warren’s … Did Obama Actually Almost Say Clarence Thomas “Was not Experienced Enough”?
Why is Barack Obama above being called an inexperienced political neophyte not ready for prime time, yet he is allowed to think and basically almost say in a public forum that others did not deserve appointments or nominations due to their lack of experience?
One thing that was brought front and center at Rick Warren’s Presidential debate from Saddleback Church is the fact that John McCain and Barack Obama’s view on the world and issues are as different as night and day. The debate style of the forum showed just how different the two candidates actually are. In the end McCain smoked Obama. The Leftwing blogosphere had to be extremely disappointed as Obama got crushed.
However, if you missed it last night because you might have been watching the Beijing Olympics and Michael Phelps making all Americans proud … Barack Obama almost made the political gaffe of the century. Obama was asked which existing Supreme Court Justice would he not have nominated. Barack Obama almost said that he could not have nominated Clarence Thomas because he was not experienced enough.
As Hot Air points out, Watch him catch himself mid-sentence, the first fateful syllable of the word “experience” already out of his mouth, before he stops short and switches gears by basically calling Thomas a moron instead (at least, “at the time”)
As Mark My Words stated, there is no doubt that Obama’s true intent and what he meant to say was that “Barack Obama clearly meant he would not have nominated Clarence Thomas because Thomas was not experienced enough.”
WATCH THE OBAMA GAFFE FOR YOURSELF
I would not have nominated ah Clarence Thomas. Ah I don’t think that he ah .. ah .. ah I .. I … I don’t think that he was an exp … ah, a strong enough jurist or legal thinker …

Barack Obama Tells 7 Year Old Girl … “America is no longer what it once was”
“America is no longer what it once was”
No wonder Obama has chickened out of Town Hall debates against Republican John McCain, he cannot even answer a simple question from a 7 year old without stammering and answering the question miserably.
Barack Obama was at a packed high school gym in Elkhart, Ind when he was asked by a 7 year old girl, why do you want to be President of the United States? Obama’s answer defies description. Do you think that Obama would phrase his answer to the 7 year old in an uplifting fashion taking into account that the person asking the question was 7? NOPE! As Wizbang states, what a beautiful and uplifting message to tell a 7 year old child, America sucks, unless you elect me President. Obama answered the 7 year old her that America had gone downhill.
“America is, is no longer, uh, what it could be, what it, it once was,” Obama said haltingly. “And I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children.”
How is it possible that a candidate for the office of the President of the United States cannot properly answer a simple question from a 7 year old girl with the grace, dignity and compassion understanding who and what age the individual is asking the question? Barack Obama, what the hell is wrong with you? This was not Meet the Press, NPR or MSNBC where you had the opportunity of bashing America once again. It was a 7 year old girl and you not only failed miserably in answering, you showed America how you really feel.
This is not a gaffe folks, this is how Obama really feels and believes. There comes a point and time when continual gaffes cannot be explained away. They are not isolated events, it is a theme from Barack and Michele Obama of America is mean, dark and evil. Let us not forget the positive words for America that Michelle Obama has had in the past, that she had never been proud of America.
“For the first time in my adult life time I am really proud of my country … Let me tell you something. For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country, because it feels like hope is making a comeback.”
Hot Air further reminds us with the Michele Obama video of the continues anti-America theme talking to students in South Carolina.
“Sometimes it’s easier to hold onto your own stereotypes and misconceptions. It makes you feel justified in your ignorance. That’s America.”
Power Line points out an interesting Obama contradiction in that in one point in the campaign Obama was running for President to usher in a new day for America, now he wants to restore us to our former glory.
It was not that long ago (yesterday probably) that Obama was running for president so he could usher in a new day, enabling America to fulfill the unmet promise of a nation that in the past has fallen so short of his, and his wife’s, expectations. Now he wants to restore us to our former glory.
Perhaps, he can do both, since the laws of contradiction do not apply to messiahs. Or perhaps Obama has no answer, other than egotism, to the question of why he’s running for president.
- Obama tells 7-year-old America not so great
- Barack Obama Channels Michelle Obama– “America Is Not What It Once Was”
- Barack Obama shoots Irony in the head, then takes a chainsaw to its limbs
UPDATE I: Rush Limbaugh Responds to Barack Obama …
America’s no longer what it could be? What it once was? How the Hell would you know Sir? Your experience has only been in one part of America. Elite, leftist academia.

Barack Obama Chickens Out of Town Hall Debates Against John McCain … What Happened to Debate McCain Any Where, Any Time?
BARACK OBAMA … CHICKEN!!!
Barack Obama is no rock star, he is a studio produced candidate incapable of thinking or responding independently from a pre-rehearsed speech or a teleprompter.
Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate for the President of the United States has chickened out of debating Republican John McCain in town hall style debates. So why is Obama being an coward and ducking McCain? Is Obama afraid that soon to be 72 year old John McCain can out think him and out maneuver him to discuss “We the People’s” questions on the fly without prior knowledge of what may be asked? You mean Barack Obama is afraid to speak and discuss his views if he were President in an off the cuff type of debate because he is afraid of the gaffes and blunders he may stumble into? This is what people want for a President … a candidate who cannot just talk to them without being rehearsed!?!
Democratic candidate Barack Obama on Saturday backed away from rival John McCain’s challenge for a series of joint appearances before the political conventions, agreeing only to the standard three debates in the fall.
In May, when a McCain adviser proposed a series of pre-convention appearances at town hall meetings, Obama said, “I think that’s a great idea.” In summer stumping on the campaign trail, McCain has often noted that Obama had not followed through and joined him in any events.
On Saturday, in a letter to the Commission on Presidential Debates, Obama campaign manager David Plouffe said the short period between the last political convention and the first proposed debate made it likely that the commission-sponsored debates would be the only ones in the fall.
“We’ve committed to the three debates on the table,” campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Saturday in an interview. “It’s likely they will be the three appearances by the candidates this fall.”
Asked by The Associated Press if that meant Obama would not agree to any other debates, Psaki said, “We’re not saying that.” She said the McCain campaign had rejected Obama’s proposal for two joint town hall meetings. (Fox News)
Not only is Barack Obama a chicken, he is a LIAR!!! Remember when Barack Obama said he would debate John McCain any where, any time? If you have forgotten, as obviously Obama has, watch it for yourself.
So why is Barack Obama running scared? Is Obama actually afraid that a 71 year old candidate can out perform him in a “live” and unrehearsed debate setting? Is Obama afraid that a “so-called too old” candidate will embarrass him? Obama claims to be a rock star and play to 100’s of thousands of people when he speaks. However, it appears that the Obama rock star is nothing more than a studio produced candidate who is only as good as his rehearsed pre-written speech is. It is obvious that Obama’s campaign thinks their candidate would fail in discussing the issues of “We the people” in an unscripted format. I guess he is too good for the common fold “Town Hall” debate and its “Beneath A Worldwide Celebrity”
The Obama campaign has stated that McCain’s recent ads refuse to discuss the issues and instead are juvenile. So when McCain does put forth the challenge … Obama chickens out. Instead of a free and open debate, Obama runs from the town hall debates challenge issued by McCain.
As Wake Up America states from the McCain campaigns response to Obama’s ducking of the debates,
via Brian Roges, a McCain spokesman, “We understand it might be beneath a worldwide celebrity of Barack Obama’s magnitude to appear at town hall meetings alongside John McCain and directly answer questions from the American people, but we hope he’ll reconsider.”
Wow, looks like Macsmind and Scared Monkeys are on the same page. I just came across this blog post, McCain and Mr. Chicken. They remind us in the video below just how inept Obama really is in a town hall setting.
Of course he won’t debate because he sucks at it. Evidenced by his less than stellar – and sometimes awkward – performances in the primary debates, the last thing “Mr. Chicken” wants is unscripted moments in front of the nation.
How bad is it when he’s off script? Once again Obama Unscripted:
