I know conservatives try to excessively dwell on Obama's speaking mistakes because liberals did that for Bush, but to be honest, Obama's gaffes just aren't as funny as Bush's. I'm not a big fan of either president, or a hater of either, but I just think Bush's were funnier.
More importantly, though, the speaking mistakes have no bearing on whether or not they were good presidents. Imagine all of the mistakes that every other president made, that we don't get to hear. It really makes no sense to post this in "Politics and Other Controversies." This isn't a controversy, and the only thing that 's political about it is that Obama said it.
It's worthy of a chuckle for sure. It certainly isn't important.
How is it not important?
Politics is the framework in which your money is decided how to be spent and your liberty is either defended or compromised.
If you really want to abdicate the responsibility of such things to people who don't have your interests in mind by not being a participant and deeming it unimportant, then you have opened the gates for tyranny to rush in.
All Harrier meant by agreeing with the idea that politics is often much ado about nothing is that in many cases the tactics of politics are just smokescreens to keep the focus off of actual issues and redirect it to a meaningless narrative so as to garner votes.
Those smokescreens are the only weapon in the Democratic Party's political arsenal, since if they ran on actual issues they would lose every election.

Yes, making an extremely minor mistake when introducing a musical guest will go down in the annuls of political history as the start of the downfall of man. Good grief, talk about making a mountain out of an ant hill.

Yes, making an extremely minor mistake when helping a kid with a spelling project(using flashcards provided by the school on which the error was printed) is really something that should have been talked about by the left-wing media for months when their were so many more weighty events taking place all over the planet.

If we're going to criticize Obama, let's do it for good reasons instead of pointing and laughing for a stupid flub.
Personally, I'd rather point the finger at him over ACA, his failure to address our massive illegal immigration problem, and his failure to do anything to help the rapidly-shrinking middle class in this country.
I'm going to have to side with dems on this one. It's no big deal. Furthermore, it's a weak topic to prove nothing more than our President is human, as we all our.
