On the other hand, making up words that are not in any dictionary, as Bush often did, is a little more indicitive of an actual intellectual deficiency. Then we have McCain, who at one of his rallies, referred to the crowd as "my fellow prisoners". That is somewhat disturbing, to say the least. I'm wondering if you posted about how much of an idiot HE is, after that.
He actually didn't make a mistake. He meant to do it, as the speaker before him was reading Obama's speech because whoever was working on the teleprompter messed up.

He royally screwed up the visit by the British Prime Minister......
On and on.....

The boy is unfortunately, not very bright.
But your girl with the "reset" button for Russia is flawless, though she (or someone on her staff) couldn't get a one-word Russian translation right? That goof doesn't affect my opinion of Hillary - but then I'm not gunning for her, and I've even grown to very much appreciate her.

Regarding the tax issues of the cabinet appointees - my guess is that many of these people would have been appointed to previous administrations and we would never have heard of their tax issues. While the cabinet was being selected, there were articles in the news about the process being very detailed and even invasive.

So while you think the worst automatically because you don't like Obama, I tend to think we're getting more information about these appointees than we would have with previous administrations.

But see, Obama promised CHANGE. Seems we have a new POTUS who is at least as big an idiot as Bush, if not more. That isn't change.
Sorry but Obama has a very, very long row to hoe to reach the depths of stupidity that George W took us to during his presidency.

Finally, somebody else who actually looked into the story..........and found the OP as phony as a 3-dollar bill.

With his blackberry to tell him what to do, and his teleprompter to tell him what to say, at least Obama's got it easier than Bush did. I'll bet Cheney wished he had those for Bush.

Obama = Bush II. That covers it exactly and more and more are beginning to see it.

This is a new low, even for liberals stretching the facts to try to cover for their master's gaffes. Whatever happened to the days when you people at least TRIED to come up with believable excuses and diversions?
