Funny Gaffes from Obama: Do you care?

Just a couple of funny gaffes that happened:

Obama Referred To An "Inhaler" As A "Breathalyzer" And Then A "Inhalator" Twice. Obama: "Everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, they end up taking up a hospital bed, it costs, when if you, they just gave, you gave treatment early, and they got some treatment, and a breathalyzer, or an inhalator, not a breathalyzer (Laughter.) I haven't had a lot of sleep in the last 48 hours, so. If they had an inhalator, inhaler, I'm still stumbling over this word. You know what I mean. You know what I mean. Then we would save money." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Bristol, VA, 6/5/08)

Obama: "What they'll say is, well it will cost too much money. It would cost about, it it it would cost about the same as what we would spend … it … o-over the course of ten years it would cost what it would cost us…it it. Alright, okay, we're going to. It-it would cost us about the same as it would cost for about hold on one second I can't hear myself. But I'm glad you're fired up though. I'm glad..." (Sen. Barack Obama, Remarks At A Campaign Event, Bristol, VA, 6/5/08)

The reason why I put that out there is my question is do you care about these gaffes when the country faces something really serious?

    answer: NO

    whatever "gaffes" he makes will NEVER out due Bush's statement that WAS NOT A GAFFE

    "I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." - G.W. Bush, 3/13/02 ...

    Unfortunately

    all the people now voting for McCain want change !!

    Why,

    i thought Bush was great??

    I thought he was doing a wonderful job??

    Why do you all want change when 2 months ago you were all saying everything is just wonderful under George W Bush ??

    Yes, I care! Then, there are Biden's gaffes... the elite mainstream are doing everything they can to have an oleo party and making these bad gaffs slide right off the table!

    While Gov. Sarah Palin is being grilled on her position on mark-to-market accounting rules, the press can't bother to ask Joe Biden if he could give us a ballpark estimate on when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president -- or maybe take a stab at guessing the decade when televisions were first available to the public.

    Being interviewed by Katie Couric on the "CBS Evening News," Biden said: "When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened.'"

    For those of you who aren't hard-core history buffs, Biden not only named the wrong president during the 1929 stock market crash, he also claimed a president who wasn't president during the stock market crash went on TV before Americans had TVs.

    NO. I know he knows. I think we put too much emphasis on little slips, for Obama,McCain and Biden. Now Palin........that's a whole different story.

    And our current president cant even pronounce "nuclear" so what is your point. They actually came up with the term "Bushism" for all the silly things that he says...so what are we knocking now?

    Have you seen Sarah Palin interview?
