Gaffetastic! Obama Tells Reporters: “Combat Operations in Afghanistan Have Ended” (Video)

Gaffetastic!
President Obama declares,

“As I said, we will be out of Afghanistan by the end of this year… Combat operations in Afghanistan have ended.”

Could you even imagine if Bush would have made this mistake?

“Mission accomplished,” I guess. Can’t wait for all the leftie media folks to lay into Obama for this. They will, won’t they, being the fairminded people they are? Surely this will lead the opinion columns and yak shows for weeks, right?

I am sure our troops over there are glad to hear this. Please get word to the muzzies who are shooting at them and laying the mines.

My God, it’s bad enough he’s an idiot. Does he have to surround himself with people who make Forrest Gump look like Einstein? Does anyone fact check the speeches beforehand? With healthcare, no, but with this… He’s rowing with one oar in the water. Undoubtedly the left oar.

Perhaps the MSM and all the blogs like HuffPo, et al, will endlessly mock Big O just as they did Palin who, after making numerous correct references to North and South Korea during an interview, made an inadvertent slip of the tongue in which North instead of South was uttered.

In 3-2-1 …. *crickets*

Can you imagine if Sarah confused Iraq and Afghanistan? On the other hand our Genious-in-Chief did not know that they do not speak Arabic in Afghanistan and it was still OK as long as Austrian language is widely used in Europe.

Imagine if Palin had said this.

Is there a date for the interview?

Can someone please provide proof that Barack Obama is “brilliant”? Obama likes to impersonate an intelligent person (as he impersonates MLK when he speaks), be he himself is not particularly bright.

He needs to take trip out of DC and hit a Florida golf course asap. That way he can’t do any harm to himself or anyone else.

It is not like the free world needs a leader who has a clue and not just full talking points.

Let’s not forget the “57 states” comment. This guy is as clueless as they come.

Remember the hysteria when Ms.Palin misspoke(Nov.2010)about North Korea being an ally?
“But obviously, we’ve got to stand with our North Korean allies.”

Truck Driver Divorce commented:

Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachmann are sooo stupid – how could they possibly say that combat operations in Afghanistan have ended? Hmmm? How DUMB are they? Who could support such dumb, stupid, worthless –

huh?

Hold on.

Who said combat operations in Afghanistan have ended?

NOTHING TO SEE HERE!! MOVE ALONG!! WHY LOOK!! THERE’S HOPE AND CHANGE RIGHT OVER THERE! MOVE ALONG!!

On another note, why the HELL didn’t the interviewer ask him what that statement meant? God, what a bunch of @ss kissing JournOList myrmidons we have in the media! No wonder they’re losing viewers, subscribers and advertisers so fast!

Give zero a break! It’s a tough job! Even though he doesn’t speak Austrian, hasn’t visited all 57 states, can’t lower health care premiums 3000%, doesn’t know about profits-to-earnings ratio, etc., he’s well versed in reditributin’ the wealth.

Yawn. Just because the dogs barked when Bush (or now Palin) mis-spoke, did not mean it was interesting. It isn’t now either. Now if he didn’t mis-speak, or even better, was telegraphing a message to some audience, that would be interesting.

His actions speak more to his intelligence than his words. I don’t mean that in a good way.

He is not cool and aloof above the fray of the common man. He is detached from reality.His mental defects do not rise to being an imminent danger to himself but as president of the USA he is a real danger to world peace. He is as vapid as those beauty contest winners that drool about world peace. Lord preserve us, our political leaders have not a clue.

One of the effects of prolonged cocaine use (or any ‘upper’) is the merging of reality and dreams. See the movie Vanishing Point for a fair dramatization of a speed run.

When reality and dreaming become merged, the person ‘records’ facts that aren’t true. Worse, the conviction that they are true prevents being corrected.

I think we are dealing with a coke freak. It is simply Occam’s razor for all the bizarre things he has done and said. The scary part is the LameStreamMedia and their enabling codependency.

I’m not sure how well this is received in the 57 states of the US of A. I’m currently trying to translate this into Austrian, but it’s hard.

Suggestion. Start your translation with the press shouting Sieg Heil.

2012 CANNOT get here fast enough for me. This KENYAN born man is not legally our President. Wake up, America! Somebody, PLEASE get his sorry butt out of OUR White House. He should never been allowed to run for the job in the first place. Copies of his Birth Certificate are on my computer as well as many others. Somebody wasn’t doing their job when they left the gate wide open for this rustler to get in.

If his had been ether GW Bush or Sarah Palin, the media would have crucified both of them. Why hasn’t anyone in the mainstream media caught this before?????

He doesn’t know the difference between Iraq and Afghanistan. WTH is wrong with this IDIOT? Those of you who voted for him: Are you sorry now? Things are going to get worse.
