Do you really want to make this into a competition to find stupid things Obama and Bush have said? Because Bush has quite a head start. And you've already mentioned Obama's most famous gaffes.

Wake me up when Obama has his 'Mission Accomplished' moment.

Do you know what a "mission" is?  The "mission" in question had been accomplished.  Which "mission" was the removal of Saddam Hussein from power and the dismantling of the Iraq armed forces.  Of courses if you chose to falsely declare that the "mission" referred to was the end of cancer, poverty, energy problems and AIDS, all terrorism and communist oppression, graft, theft and murder, then yeah, you could make it appear stupid.  But you would be building a straw man.  Surely you wouldn't be doing that, would you?

And far be it for the C-I-C to encourage the troops he leads and give them a hearty thumbs up for a job well done.  Totally inappropriate and utterly idiotic.

I agree with zappa.

In 6 months Obama has done more idiotic things than 8 years of Bush. thats even with Obama and his fucking Teleprompter that he never leaves home without!!

on a side note why do you have such an interest in American politicians like George Bush and Obama?

i love politics but i couldn't tell you who the current president of Australia is, or any other former Australian presidents before him for that matter....

Kevin Rudd... he's a cutie, he was preceded by John Howard

the position is Prime Minister, it it an important distinction
when you're establishing ministries like ministry of defense,
ministry of health, ministry of screwing the populace

I have an interest in everything that has ever happened in the world :shrug:

And yeah, we don't have a president, instead the role is split between the executive (Prime Minister) and the head of state (Governor-General). Our current PM was swept to power in 2007 on a wave of popularity, exactly like Obama. People have drawn many parallels between our situation and yours.

You're probably speaking out of ignorance from not being an academic, but yeah, 53% is considered a large victory by political scientists who keep track of such statistics.

The electoral map was also massively in favor of Obama.

They are way beyond ignorant.

“In politics, few talents are as richly rewarded as the ability to convince parasites that they are victims.  Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it.  Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensation for injustices – leading to worsening behavior by the recipients.

many people refer to him as the "messiah" or the "Chosen one" because he can do no wrong in the eyes of his followers and the media.

People called him that before the election. It's silly to deny that he was, and still is, extremely popular.

I'm feeling confident (almost cocky) that his super "Popularity" will cause him to lose a Democratic majority in either the house or senate.

Why do people believe everything on the net and then they quote it like it is the truth?

I could edit that wiki page if I wanted to or you could too.
