cheap shot that is not even funny. Compare to Bush speaking and we can appreciate Obama as speaker. In fact, this is a typical putdown when there is no specific ideas, policies, programs for our nation.
Obama uses technology? Why not. Would Abe be elected in an age of TV? Doubt it.
I am sure this little bit of juvenalia amuses your pajamas gang but perhaps it might be time to put on clothes and get about doing the Lord’s business to make things better in our great nation.
And first order of business is to get zerObama and his marxist rabble out of the White House and to execute all leaders in Congress for bailing out their corporate friends.
Most of Bush’s mis-speaks were made when he was speaking off-the-cuff, without benefit of a teleprompter (did he ever use one?)
Compare those to Obama’s huge blunders when he was talking un-scripted and you have a much more accurate comparison.
Sorry, Bush comes off much better.
Here is a compilation of Obama blunders. Bush doesn’t even come close to the level of ignorance and naivete represented in these comments.

Obama vomits trash with every word. He is no lover of America and it’s riduclous he is even president of such a freedom loving country.
#4 I love you!!! I have copied your post to keep and add to!!!
#1.. get a grip. If you truly believe your country is in a good spot..well, you must not be in America, or you’re on the dole with welfare entitlements etc..

That Obama guy is really a genius.
JohnK: Don’t tie yourself in knots. You must also learn to appreciate another Obama administration’s greatest accomplishments too: victory in Iraq.
His vp who borrowed his resume from another politican from another country now borrows the accomplishments of another administration.
Seinfeld would say: I’m speechless. I’m without words.
I didn’t think it was possible to tie or top Zo and The Zolettes, but Sonja at the very least ties them! Great stuff!
fred lapides: You are a joke. The Obamessiah can’t even put two words together without a teleprompter.
At least when Bush said “nuculer” I could figure out what he was trying to say.
Sonja is stacked! Dayum girlllllll! You are smokin’! Oh and your political points were right on the moula. But, seriously, you are gorgeous.
I wonder if Fred has ever read the transcripts from the Lincoln-Douglas debates. That was eloquence.
1. fred lapides:
Can’t grasp the difference between an actor reading from a script and someone actually talking to you?
Bush makes mistakes when speaking off the cuff, then the press label him an ‘idiot’. So apply the same standard to the Bama, and he should also be lableled an ‘idiot’ by the same press. But they don’t, exposing their bias and lack of journalistic objectivity. So Bama is discredited for his ‘intelligence’ and journalists for their bias. Done deal.
