Barack Obama Sees Dead People

Barack Obama on Memorial Day.

On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today.

Yes, he really did say that.

    What? A politician made a verbal gaffe? Stop the presses.

    Oh, well. At least he didn’t promise that he would “never stop thinking of ways to harm our country and its people.” :)

    Is that the same country with 57 states?

    Btw, I think this is more than just a gaffe. I think the guy probably doesn’t even know what Memorial Day is about. He probably thinks it is the spring version of Veterans Day. That’s just my highly biased opinion though. Nothing to really back it up. Hobbs agrees.

    Well, the fact that he even mentioned fallen heroes would tend to indicate he knows what it’s about. This is just an obvious misstatement, nothing more, nothing less. Just like the Bush “neither do we” thing, it’s fun to pounce on and ridicule, but everyone with half an ounce of intelligence knows what the speaker meant.

    As for the 57 states thing, I think it’s a grand conspiracy: He’s on the take from the Heinz corporation! ;)
