#4 Realising his blunder afterwards, Obama joked that he had mistaken the chancellor of the exchequer for the U.S. soul singer Jeffrey Osborne,

Attributed to weed abuse no doubt. Names, why do they hate me.

#5 Had Bush committed this gaffe, the press would have been overflowing with more of the "Bush is an idiot" theme. Obama shows all the intelligence of a waffle iron (especially if he is without his teleprompter or goes off his scripted remarks) and yet he gets a free pass from the leftist media. This has got to be remedied - we as a republic cannot continue to exist in liberty without a truly free press. And we no longer have a free press in the so called mainstream media; their self applied ideological shackles seem even more controlling than was the police state of the old Soviet Union.

Want criticism of a president, wait til a conservative is elected. The leftist mass media will go after him or her with the fervor of the SS on the night of the Long Knives, in their pursuit of a one party state and elimination of all dissenting political views.

#12 When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost... All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
H.L. Mencken, Baltimore Sun (26 July 1920)
