Obama in teleprompter screw-up

“The president embarrassed America and showed the world just how stupid he really is last night.”

That’s how the media would have reported last night’s White House screw-up if President Bush were still in office. But we doubt that President Obama will receive the same harsh treatment.

Here’s what happened:

Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen was giving a speech when he realized he was repeating the same words President Obama had just read from the same teleprompter. Cowen stopped, turned to the president and said, “That’s your speech.”

Obama laughed. Oh, how he laughed. It was the laugh of a man who was thinking, “Damn, I’m glad that wasn’t me.”

Then he compounded the problem by walking up to the podium, staring into his trusty teleprompter and giving Cowen’s remarks instead of his own.

In the words of Fox News, “President Obama thanked President Obama for inviting everyone over.”

Joe Biden was once busted for stealing a British politician’s speech. But at least he was smart enough not do it right in front of the guy.

If his aim was to be noticed by America, Russell Brand more than achieved his goal last night as he ranted that President Bush was a “retarded cowboy” while hosting the MTV awards

Where was the outrage over Bush-chimp analogy?

Bush_chimp_address There has been recent outrage from the PC police over some recent cartoons and comments linking Barack Obama and members of his Administration to monkeys and chimps. Screams of racism are coming down from on high, while the Elitist Left continues to play the race card and push racial tension in this country.

So where was this outrage when George Bush was called a chimp (for his entire 8 years in office), cartoons were drawn depicting him as a chimp, photos of him were morphed into a chimp, and all of this was being done by many of the same people who are up in arms over the same thing happening to Obama and people in his Administration. In fact, the same disgusting Huffington Post that was outraged over a DOCTORED comment by John Gibson relating Eric holder to a chimp posted a column in 2007 saying a study proved the Bush was a chimp!!! The Elitist Left even created a Web site called Bush Or Chimp!!

People should have the decency to not call the President of the United States a chimp, whoever it is. But this reaction from the Elitist Left is another example of the increasingly tired mantra they preach (and what makes them so elitist): What's OK for us to do isn't OK for other people to do.
