Daytona 500 Grand Marshal James Franco Disses Danica Patrick At Start of Race … “Drivers and Danica, start your engines.”

Just another reason why actors should stick to the script …

Did you miss it yesterday at the start of the Daytona 500? James Franco, the Grand Marshall of the Daytona 500, decided to go off script, added his PC’ness to the starting instruction and botched the entire thing. Instead of saying the obvious, “Gentleman and Danica, start your engines” as obviously Danica Patrick was the only female driver in the race. However, Franco flubbed the line and in doing so dissed Danica when he said, “Drivers and Danica, start your engines.” So I guess Danica is not a driver? The sad part was I actually think that Franco was trying to give Danica a special shout out and botched the it completely. Say, who was that doing the start if the race, Joe Biden?

With all due respect to the haters of Danica Patrick, she is a driver. Last time I checked she won the pole, was the first woman to ever lead a lap in the Daytona 500 and is one of a hand full of drivers to lead a lap in the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500. Face it folks, Danica is finally doing the job on the track and getting the well deserved kudos after having received all of the media attention for her off the track exploits and Go Daddy racy commercials.

In fairness to James Franco, the traditional Daytona 500-opening phrase, “Gentlemen, start your engines,” doesn’t really work, what with Danica Patrick in the pole position and all.

It desperately needed a rewrite and, presumably, got one. So Franco probably meant to say, “Gentlemen and Danica” or “Drivers,” but, like hosting the Oscars, this is a tricky gig. And what came out was all wrong.

When will Hollywood actors ever learn to just stick to the script, they are hardly paid to ad lib.

More Gaffetastic Comments from VP Biden, Poland – Portugal, What’s the Difference?

Good grief, and this dude thinks he is going to get the Democrat nomination for president in 2016?

More from the idiocy of Obama’s Vice President Joe Biden, Poland, Portugal … what’s the difference? From the UK Telegraph comes another gaffe from Joe Biden. Just a note to the Libs who want to defend Biden, Poland is not a member of the Eurozone, and its economy is in considerably better shape than that of debt-ridden Portugal. Imagine how the liberal MSM would have reacted if it were a Republican who made such comments?

Hey, is that Biden making fun of Obama shooting a gun? Didn’t he get the memo about photo-shopping?

Joe Biden is in Europe this week, meeting with leaders in Berlin, Paris and London. Tomorrow he drops by Downing Street to see David Cameron, and Nick Clegg is also on the agenda. Over the weekend the US vice president attended the Munich Security Conference where he delivered a speech on the Obama administration’s foreign policy, expressing a willingness to sit down in direct negotiations with the Iranian regime over its nuclear programme, an approach that can only be described as naïve in the extreme. On Europe, he spoke about the “unfinished business in our common project of a Europe whole and free,” describing Europe as “America’s indispensable partner of first resort.”

Biden has a well-earned reputation as a gaffe-maker extraordinaire, and this speech was no exception. In a key passage on the Eurozone debt crisis, Biden referred to Portugal, as Poland, a mistake subsequently corrected in the official White House transcript:

We have seen positive steps recently to address the eurozone crisis, with the European Central Bank pledging to stand behind countries willing to launch reforms, and with Greece, Ireland, Poland* [*sic-Portugal], Spain and Italy all taking important steps to put their economies on a sounder path. Governments across the eurozone must also remain focused on growth and jobs. These may be fundamentally European problems, requiring European solutions, but their resolution has tremendous impact on the United States of America and on the global economy.

Frankly, I have lost count just how many gaffes this fool has made. But some how the Democrat. Lib and MSM approach is that if you do it enough, it is not reportable. But as Weasel Zippers states, Biden’s not content being the laughingstock of America, he wants to go global. Yup, sounds like presidential timber to me.

YIKES, Easily the Worst Basketball Free Throw Shot in History Courtesy of Appalachian State’s Center Brian Okam … “Good Lord”

This might be the promo for the next Southwest commercial … Wanna Get Away?

I had previously thought that the worst free throw shot I had ever seen was in the movie ‘Hoosiers’ when Ollie of Hickory badly missed his underhand free throw. Of course that was a movie, the following was not. This poor guy is never going to live this one down. From the viral video below comes Brian Okam of Appalachian State and easily the worst free throw ever … “GOOD LORD”!!!

VP Joe Biden to Hurricane Victims: “You’ve Got a Homeboy in the Deal Who Gets It”

Grand Master Joe reassures Sandy victims … Boyz in the Hood.

Elections certainly do have consequences. Barack Obama’s VP Joe Biden told Hurricane Sandy victims in New Jersey over the weekend while inspecting storm damage weeks after the super storm, “You’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it.” Huh, a home boy? Wow Joe, how fly. Yup, no double standard here, imagine if Biden was not a democrat? Think his “hommie” would have gone unnoticed?  So this is how Obama/Biden connected with Americans. Unreal. Thanks America for voting this guy a heart beat away from the presidency. I think the gun shop owner in Arizona may have gotten it 100% correct.

“If you’re not an Easterner it’s hard to understand that the ocean to us is the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Park and everything else combined. It is a gigantic part of not only our economy but who we are. It’s a gigantic part of the culture as well.

“And every time the rest of the country is in real trouble, New Jersey and Delaware and New York and Connecticut, et cetera, we respond, we respond. And it’s going to be a heavy lift. These are difficult times in terms of budgets but the president has made it clear that we are going to do everything we can to make sure that the Corps is fully funded, that FEMA has their needs and that all the programs that exist under the auspices of the federal government not only continue to exist but are funded so that we can make sure that this area of the country is fully fully fully restored.

“So as the president said when he was up here with the governor, we’re not going anywhere. We’re not going anywhere. And you’ve got a homeboy in the deal who gets it.”

What media ignored gaffe will come next from the first white-black VP, Joe Biden? Word!

 

Barack Obama Tells Supports in Ohio, “Voting is the best Revenge” … Revenge? How Ugly and Small Minded Could This President Really Be?

LOST IN SMALLNESS AND UGLINESS.

VOTING IS THE BEST REVENGE … DOES AMERICA REALLY NEED A PRESIDENT WHO BELIEVES SUCH AN UGLY THOUGHT?

President Barack Obama told supporters in Springfield, OH on Friday , “Voting is the best revenge”. What the hell is Obama talking about? Voting is equal to revenge in the mind of this president, really? Once again Obama goes off his prepared speech and makes a major gaffe that would make Joe Biden proud.

I think we now know why Barack Obama has been the most partisan president ever. We can also add ugly, small minded and divisive. I think we also know why it is time to send Obama packing. Of all the words one could come up with “Voting is the best _______ “, I can honesty say I could come up with hundreds of words and “revenge” would never have been even contemplated.

Barack Obama has some explaining. However, just like with ever Benghazi, we will never hear it. The reelect Obama team has run one of the most negative, vile and disgusting campaigns ever. The positive message from 2008 of “Hope and Change” has instead in 2012 been one of smear and defame. However, what does one expect when Obama could not run on his failed economic, job growth and $16 trillion debt. As the Washington Examiner discusses, what was Obama talking about and his campaign will have a difficult time spinning this.

The problem is, the president was actually not speaking in the context of Romney’s highly-controversial ads about bailed-out Chrysler adding production of Jeeps in China.  In fact, Obama had not said a word about the Jeep controversy when he said “revenge.”  His speech had touched on Hurricane Sandy, on the progress the American economy has made in the last few years, on his national security accomplishments, on the choice Americans will make on November 6, on Bill Clinton’s record — on a lot of things, but not on Jeep.

And even after the “revenge” remark, it took Obama six paragraphs to get to his discussion of Jeep.  The bottom line is, while it is impossible to know what was in the president’s mind, he simply was not talking about Jeep when he told voters that “Voting is the best revenge.”

Obama’s true motivations shine through as that of a community agitator, not a president.
