In the world of "tit for tat" and by comparison, Michelle Bachmann's words are icons of integrity. Obama can't even get it right when he reads from notes or his teleprompter.
And without notes or a teleprompter he's just plain embarrassing.

He lost me with his mispronouncing "Corpsman" Henry as well not knowing when to render a salute...

You don't "know" any such thing. You need to learn that there are different types of liberals with a wide range of values. There are no "liberal factories" cranking us out with the same mold.
You can and should say nothing. The reason is because, first of all, I have no interest in "destroying" her, not that I personally have that kind of power. I do have an interest in seeing that she stays out of the Oval Office. If she is somehow "destroyed" in the process, so be it. That's politics.
What you WON'T see me do is nitpick her to death. I really don't care about her gaffs as much as I care about her beliefs, and as I've said, I don't trust her to keep religion out of politics. I trust even less ANYONE who claims to have some sort of "direct access line" to God. Historically speaking, the words, "God told me ..." are almost invariably followed by oppression, violence, and bloodshed.
Bush invoked God often enough during the Iraq war, so I offer that up as exhibit A.
Bachmann's words are the icons of insanity, not integrity. Having both words beginning with the letter "i" makes that a bit confusing.

Yea I do because when we discussed Obama's screw up before with his lack of knowledge about military protocol the responses were "Who cares?' " "So What" and "Get a life" by the liberals..

It was the final straw as far as I am concerned..misstatements and gaffs by our President and Vice President on military matters are to me a big turn off....I am privy to the discussions these screw ups have on our troops.. And could cost Obama a lot of votes in 2012.. But I need to check Obama's approval rating by the military before I can make that claim as you know.. |

Not caring about military protocol is not the same thing as not caring about the military. I'm willing to bet that there are millions of people who earnestly support the troops but wouldn't know a proper salute if someone hit them with one. Do you HONESTLY think that Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, or Mitt Romney knows the ins and outs of military protocol? How many years did THEY serve?

I would not even dignify that nonsense with a response except to say in case you missed it Obama is our Commander in Chief and NOT those three Repubs...

Michelle Bachmann is human, which means she makes mistakes. Her constituents sure like her. How any of Obama's constituents can vote for him again after all his lies and deceptions is beyond me, but I guess the old "Repubs did it, I need more time" works for them. ABO 2012.

But at least two of them are trying to BECOME our CinC, aren't they? And how many people like yourself would vote for them if for no other reason than to remove Obama? Are you going to check and see if Bachmann knows how to salute before voting for her?
Oooh, so THAT'S how the game is played. When Michele Bachmann spits out lunatic conspiracy innuendos, well, we should let it slide because she's only human and makes mistakes. If Obama mispronounces the word "corpsman" or doesn't refer to his uncle as "great" uncle, we should ... as the chairman of the RNC said, "re-evaluate the entire Obama administration," and accuse him of lying and deception.
Got it. Gee, I'm learning so much at today's double standards seminar! I'm glad I came!

You are missing the point about military protocol I think...but when a Commander in Chief screws up with a military audience it does have repercussions up and down the ranks...i.e Bush's speech on the USS Abraham Lincoln when he said "Major Combat Operations in Baghdad Are Over" and then his press secretary tried to spin that screw up blaming it on a sign hung by the Navy behind Bush on the carrier..
I spend quite a bit of time chatting in person and on line with the military and screw ups by the Commander in Chief do matter if there are several of them almost constantly....put yourself in the audience of the 10th Mountain Division and how would you feel to hear Obama screw up over the MOH awardees..not a good thing Ma'am IMHO
The big discussion now by our troops is the Afghan draw down and they don't know if Obama is making his decision based on either political or sound well thought out military reasonings...tough one for them to digest I think??

I wouldn't think spending your life being an anti-American peacenik would give one a clear grasp on American military matters.

Wikipedia Edits Try To Defend BachmannJohn Quincy Adams Wikipedia Page Edited To Describe Him As A ‘Founding Father’GOP presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann is now getting the Sarah Palin treatment on Wikipedia. In light of Bachmann’s latest historical hiccup, people are trying to edit John Quincy Adam’s Wikipedia page to reflect her recent gaffe. One edit, for example, changes his description from “John Adams was the sixth President of the United States” to “John Adams, a founding father, was the sixth President of the United States.”  Another more satirical edit added, “But even as an embryo, John Quincy Adams could feel pain and was a Founding Father.” In striking the revisions, the page administrator included the statement, “Please don’t edit an historical article based on current events.” Incidentally, the Founding Fathers Wikipedia page still does not list John Quincy Adams as a member. thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/06/28/256227/john-q-adams-wiki-editing/
