Bush Gaffes vs Obama Gaffes

So, did you hear how Obama tried to walk into the Whitehouse using the window instead of the door? It was an innocent mistake really, but it falls in line with some blatant hypocracy from the left when a similar incident happened to Bush in Beijing. People used this as an example of how stupid Bush was, when it was really just a simple mistake. How was Bush to know that door was locked?

See, in my opinion, these little mistakes are meant to be laughed at and nothing more. Bush was chronic for them, and it appears that Obama is not immune either.

I don't really see Obama saying '57 states' was really that important, more of a slip of the tongue when it is obvious he meant 47 states. Big deal.

And of course, don't forget the self described genius Joe Biden and his penchant for mispeaks.

But it's the same with Bush. Bush is not an idiot like some people would have you believe. He did attend an ivy league college after all. Bush sometimes did some dumb things, but he could laugh at it and people laughed with him (or at him, depending on your political views).

I find it funny, however, how some people react to the President when he makes a mistake. It was easy to laugh at Bush for eight years, but the Messiah is above this. How could anybody make fun of Obama! He's perfect, just prone to mistakes from time to time.

Sure, whatever, he's prone to mistakes, which means he was human, like Bush was. But I am sick of people stating how brilliant Obama is when he has made similar mispeaks when they point and laugh at Bush and use his mispeaks as evidence against his intellect.

I've had my misgivings with Bush, who was definitely a Moderate but many democrats fail to see how moderate he really was, but I think his little 'Bushisms' are harmless for the most part. I'll admit I am guilty of the same thing.

But because Bush is a Republican, people will always hold that against him. Look at Dan Quayle, he'll never live down that title merely because of an innocent mistake involving the word Potato.

I don't hold Obama's mispeaks and gaffes against him, but I'll laugh at them, especially if they are telling of who he is, like distributing the wealth being good for everybody.

Did you hear the latest bit? Apparently since he's from Hawaii (he hasn't lived there in years) he likes to be warm, so he turned the heat in the oval office up. Where's that Chicago Toughness he was talking about in regards to snow in DC? Rather, it looks like hypocracy and naivity.

Sounds like he can talk the talk, and he certainly can talk, but I have yet to see this guy really walk the walk. Do as I say, not as I do. Isn't that the model for Democrats?

So if Obama and Biden have their little Gaffe Parades going on, don't mind me if I point them out and make fun of them. Since the left has been doing the same thing to Bush for years and now is all offended that somebody would dare do the same to Obama.

Stimulus Package - Complete with Lard

Remember back when Bush wanted $85 Billion for the War in Iraq and how the liberals were all muttering what a waste of money this was and he couldn't get it passed unless it was lauded down with a bunch of Pork?

People were hysterical by the sheer amount of money 85 billion was.

Fast forward, a few years later, we've already approved a $700 billion TARP bill bailout that most people are opposed to and now we have a President who wants to cram an Economic Stimulus down our throats to the tune of $825 Billion dollars. And he's trying to encourage it to be passed now, to get the job done because we need to do this right away.

I have a feeling why he wants to get it done *now!* Because the sooner it gets passed, the sooner all of the liberal pet projects that are laden in this bill can get funding without being nixed. Because if we take to long to get it passed, people might notice exactly what is going on here. So Obama is all 'we need to get this done ASAP!'

I told a friend once that I'll consider Obama a fairly successful president (as much as I can hope from a very liberal president with no experience) if three things happen. He keeps me safe, he fixes the economy, and he lets me keep my guns.

I'm already disappointed because I see two out of three going down hill really fast.

At least the Republicans are growing a backbone by voting down this mess of a Crap Sandwich as Michelle Malkin puts it

I Pledge. . .

. . . to continue to do what I've always done, which is to love my country, support our troops, and stockpile lot's of ammunition for the looming Zombie Apocalypse.

Hollywood Celebrities decided that now that we have a hip and cool president, that it is ok to be American and now we have an obligation to come together and change the world and bring hope and peace to all.

MySpace Celebrity and Katalyst present The Presidential Pledge


Gag me.

Yo, people who make an extraordinarily large amount of money for looking pretty and pretending to be somebody else, why do you think I care one iota about your pledge to be better Americans now that we got a popular president in office? Is this all about togetherness and being one to end hunger and live in a happy society because the lord Obama has deemed it so?

Why couldn't you use your own initiative to do something before? Does it take the leadership of a democrat to make you work for greater good?

See, I'm not going to change and become more patriotic because there's a new president in the white house, despite whether I voted for him or not. I think that's a big difference between Liberals and Conservatives.

A lot of liberals, as loud and obnoxious as they can be, tend to only be proud to be American when a President they voted for is in office.

Conservatives love their country and are proud to be American no matter who is in office.

Hat Tip - Rightwingnews, Big Hollywood and Hotair

UPDATE - I have a confession to make. I couldn't stomach watching this thing all the way through at first. But somebody showed me the very end, and I about had it in with the creep factor. Watch the last thirty seconds, and let me suggest something that most people who are somewhat educated understand.

We don't serve the President. The president serves the People.

Unless their intent is to see Barack Obama as their new Dictator-in-Chief.

My Biff with Obama

I refused to watch the inaugeration yesterday. I wasn't feeling well to begin with and I wanted to keep some of my stomach.

You see, I'm not exactly thrilled with our new president. And I will respect his office becuase he was elected president. But I just thought I had better things to do with my time then to listen to a lot of TV pundits go on and on about how great Obama is. Nobody has any criticism for this guy?

Even comedians appear to be lamenting that there is nothing to mock about this new 'hip and cool' president who appears the only qualifications for the office he holds is he's an ivy league college grad, been in the senate for two seconds, and he speaks well. And don't forget he's black, which appears to be the primary reason for likely half of the people who voted for him voted for him.

I noticed some of my liberal friends were commenting, "We have a black president now! History is being made! This is incredible!"

All I am thinking is, what have we done? We just elected an inexperienced individual to the most powerful office in the world. But don't worry, it won't be that for long. As soon as Obama becomes President of the World, he won't need to be in the silly office of President of the United States anymore. If there even is one.

Am I being a little harsh and possibly judgemental? Maybe. But I'll give the man this. I'll give him six months to prove to me that he has the capacity to lead this nation into something other then total economic ruin and failure. That's more then a lot of people gave Bush, who were criticizing him from the moment he took office. But nobody can have a negative thing to say about Obama. If you dare raise question of his awesomeness to his faithful followers, they will wonder how you could be so unpatriotic as to defy the exhaulted one?

You know, the liberals have been harping that the myth of the quote 'dissent is the highest form of patriotism' to me for the last eight years as their reasoning for lamenting what they call the 'Bush fiasco' or whatever. So what if conservatives dissented against a liberal president for once? Where would that lead us? Remember, conservatives are the ones with the guns.

Now, do I want Obama to fail? Absolutely not. At least, I can only Hope that he doesn't plunge our economy with massive deficits and manages to keep our nation safe. But I'm not holding my breath on this guy who campaigned on empty promises of 'Hope and Change' so that the words have lost all purpose and meaning other then to go synonymously with Obama.

But I'll give him this. He has some pretty adorable daughters.

Introduction

This must be the fancy place where I introduce myself, and my blog.

I am an individual who has had a web presence in the past. for reasons I cannot go into detail with here, I had to convert into a more anonymous presence. Not to say that I mind if you can figure out who I am or my previous slightly infamous webspace, because it's more of a case of starting from scratch so I don't have the insane amount of readership or perhaps the increasingly searchability of finding me on the internets that I did before. It often ended up as nothing but trouble before. But I enjoy blogging so the point of it now is to allow me to keep doing it without the pesky problem of being personally known for what I write.

So this is me starting over again.

So, what can you come to discover about me and the purpose of this blog? I guess it can be divided into different categories. For instance...

Opinion - This is probably what I will post most. My opinions on anything I want to discuss. Mostly my opinions are political in nature. And I am a conservative. Hence the link to the conservative blog roll to the right.

Hobbies - I might post stuff in regards to hobbies of mine. My hobbies are diverse and include art, photography, writing, and adrenaline enducing sports, among other things. Whatever the case, if I do something I wish to share, I might share it.

Adventures - If I go and do anything worht noting, it might find itself under this label. Like skydiving, or bungee jumping, or such.

Travel - It kind of goes hand in hand with adventures, sometimes. I tend to travel a lot.

Work - This is one place where I can't go into a lot of detail. But every so often, if I find tales worth telling, where I can remain somewhat vague on what it is I do, maybe I'll share? Or maybe not.

Personal - While maintaining my anonymous nature, I might be able to share a thing or to about, well, myself. It goes under this tab.

I'll think of some other things to share with. Later.
