Why has the Obama campaign been making so many gaffes recently?
Jul 7, 2009
LJ’s Back! asked:
In the past week Joe Biden asked why Sarah Palin doesn’t support stemcell research if she says she supports disabled children. Obama makes a gaffe on ABC and says he’s a muslim. Obama then goes on the O’Reilly factor and says the surge worked beyond his wildest dreams. What??? That seems like a bit different than what he was saying in the primaries. Now, there is the Obama-Palin pig controversy. Obama says he was just making a joke at the GOPs economic plan. Several reporters have said that the crowd went wild when he made the pig comment, so the crowd surely thought he was talking about Palin. Whether or not he was, it seems obvious that the Obama campaign has been off-message a lot recently and are really dancing on the edge of a cliff. Anyone else see the same thing?

Obama never mentioned Palin in his speech. Provide me Proof..I challenge you to produce one credible source that includes her in that speech. he was talkign about McCain’s Plicies.
OBAMA: Let’s just list this for a second. John McCain says he’s about change, too. Except — and so I guess his whole angle is, “Watch out, George Bush, except for economic policy, health-care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy, and Karl Rove-style politics. We’re really gonna shake things up in Washington.” That’s not change. That’s just calling some — the same thing, something different. But you know, you can — you know, you can put lipstick on a pig; it’s still a pig.
What about McCain saying THE SAME EXACT THING when referring to Hillary Clinton’s healthcare plan?? What is there a double standard or something? Obama wasn’t even speaking about Palin he was talking about McCain and his economic policy. Please people this is a distraction from real issues. The lipstick comment was pinned on Palin by McCain’s camp, Obama ddin’t mention her. Just watch the link. McCain says the same thing
Lost in space.

Yes, I see the same thing. I’ve given up on reality tv and sitcoms – the election is so much more entertaining.

He doesn’t do well under pressure or without a telepromter.
Thought he could get away with his veiled reference kinda like he when scratched his face with his middle finger to diss Hillary.

Those are not gaffes. They’re made up talking points by the opponents, not reality.
I’d expect a future CEO to know the difference.

if one is the messiah, do you really think he needs to be calling someone a pig. Surely he can have his servants do that.

No, I haven’t seen any of those things. Maybe when you watch the news, you’re in a different dimensional world…. and so you see and hear different things.

This answer is for miles d the Obama campaign will soon issue a no ad lib to both Obama and Biden neither one is safe ad libbing. Biden yesterday in Missouri invited a state legislator who is crippled and in a wheel chair to “stand up and let the people see you” and Obama should be smart enough to not go with the pig remark that shows that he is not the quickest knife in the drawer.

He has been campaigning for president for a very, very long time. He has finally stopped believing the words that are coming out of his mouth.

The news reporters are reporting on them instead of turning their back on them. They are finally trying to be reporters instead of pundits. They make him now they can break him. Finally real reporting except of course MSNBC.
