Professor Obama the Dumbest Shlub To Be Elevated to “Brilliance” Status By the Left
Yesterday Barack Obama addressed the Summit of the Americas in Colombia and spoke about the conflict between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the Falklands. Obama seemed to tilt toward Argentina by calling the islands the “Malvinas” rather than the Falklands, which Argentina insists is their proper name.
Only Obama didn’t say Malvinas, he said Maldives–an entirely different group of islands located thousands of miles from the Falklands in the Indian Ocean:
So with one word, Obama both offended the British and made himself a laughingstock with the Latin Americans. Here in the U.S., we are used to such embarrassing errors by our president, but the international press hasn’t quite caught up. My complaint, specifically, is about this account of Obama’s gaffe in the Telegraph, not a particularly left-wing paper by British standards. The Telegraph’s article is headlined “Barack Obama makes Falklands gaffe by calling Malvinas the Maldives.”
See how they, predictably, reported this news HERE

I don’t mind this flub. He’s so confused and bewildered that maybe when he sends Michelle on the “scouted out” vacation we’ll lose her.

I disagree BFH, He’s not dumb, not by a longshot. He’s quite smart. He only lacks common sense and experience. He has enough smarts to make him look ignorant when everything he has done has been systematically created to do exactly what he wants. To throw the country into disarray and implement the XO he signed to suspend elections and bring about martial law.

But if Sarah Palin factually states that the Boston Tea Party was in 1773 and that Paul Revere warned the British that he had already alerted the colonists to their presence, she’s the dumb-ass.

The Maldives were on his mind probably because it’s no doubt on his vacation itinerary. Comparing the Falklands (Malvina’s) to the Maldives it’s obvious which place he prefers;
Falklands – The most predominant religion is Christianity, of which the primary denominations are Church of England, Roman Catholic, United Free Church, and Lutheran.
January average maximum temperature is about 13°C (55°F), and the July maximum average temperature is about 4°C (39°F).
Maldives – Islam is the official religion of the Maldives and open practice of any other religion is forbidden and liable to prosecution.
The temperature of Maldives ranges between 24 °C (75 °F) and 33 °C (91 °F) throughout the year.

Oh but isn’t it ironic Islam is the official religion(read totalitarian) of the Maldives. Once colonized by the Dutch, then the Brits until 1965. The Maldives ranks high on the list of governments that restrict(read abolish) religious freedom. Probably fresh on his mind with the Arab Spring and all, since the President was thrown out 2012, and many Buddhist and Hindu artifacts were destroyed.

Maybe he is considering places to flee to after the drumming he will get in Nov. Whichever is further from the good old USA is fine with me.

One of the best lines in the latest Ann Barnhardt video is when an audience members asks if Obama is the anti-Christ.
Ann explains that because he is “against” Christ, that technically makes him AN anti-Christ. “But, no, I don’t think he’s THE anti-Christ. THE anti-Christ will be smart.”
Zing!

Barack Hussein Obama Will Win Re-Election (Part Two)
Part One of this very mini series examined some reasons why Barack Hussein Obama is virtually guaranteed to win his re-election bid.
My opinion–which I pray to God is wrong– was based on the probability of Obama conducting the dirtiest campaign in over a century, his faux-populist platform setting class against class and race against race, and plans to spend a billion dollars or more to fool the American people into giving him four more years.
However, that prediction was made not as much on those factors as on the fact Obama has locked up various constituencies that will cast their ballots for more of the same no matter what the president has done to the country to date or what else he will do before November 6th.
Most African-Americans, Jews, and homosexuals will vote for Obama seven months from now, giving him some 17% of the electorate.
So, too, will a sufficient number of Latinos and those still suffering from the malady of white guilt to give him the 270 electoral votes he needs to be “flexible” in order to accomplish his goal of changing America into a land that would have caused the Founding Fathers to retch.
In addition, many Republican conservatives will choose to shoot themselves in both feet by staying home on Election Day and thereby help re-elect the president out of pique that Mitt Romney isn’t conservative enough or because he has flip-flopped on issues almost as often as Obama.
. Latinos. Due to Obama’s policies and those of his immediate predecessor, George W. Bush, with regard to illegal immigration, hispanics in America now constitute 16.3% of the population, over 50 million people, an estimated 11 million of whom entered the United States illegally.
Regardless of which president is most responsible for the illegal influx, the reality at this point is that they are here and only an unprecedented, massive, federal deportation program will change the situation, and that’s not going to happen under any administration.
Legal or illegal, with notable exceptions Latinos are an industrious, hard-working, religious, and fundamentally conservative group, characteristics that should classify them as Republicans yet 67% voted for Obama in 2008.
The reasons for that majority are multiple and complex but boil down to the successful Democrat Party effort to make hispanics, legal and illegal, feel at home in the U.S., feel that Democrats care and will take care of them, feel they should vote for Obama because Republicans don’t make them feel at home and won’t “take care of them.”
According to a recent poll from the Democrat campaign, 73% of them will vote Obama in November, adding as many as 10 points to Obama’s tally for a total of 27%.
. White Guilt. The “white guilters” are the wild card in the coming election. They consist of Caucasians who were torn in 2008 over the long-ended horrors of slavery, felt guilty that some white guys like Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, and sought absolution for the sins of their long-dead forbears by voting for the son of Marxists.
White guilters rarely admit . . .

The people of Honduras wrote/voted on a constitution that establishes the rules of their Presidency. The left wing piece of garbage that they elected moved to throw out that constitution in the first step of elevating himself to dictator. Captain Dumbass sided with the usurper.
The people of the Falklands want nothing to do with the Marxist dingbat in Argentina, nor Argentinians that tend to run their own country completely into the ground, every decade or two. So who would Captain Dumbass side with?
Patterns. Obama haz them.
