Only 2 years of national service under his belt - you can expect a lot more of these.

hmmmm. You may have a point. After all, Bush had NO years of national service under his belt and look where we find ourselves--in the middle of the GOP elephants--and all the tails are continually raised and constantly cutting a load loose......lmao

"Ten thousand people died %u2014 an entire town destroyed," the Democratic presidential candidate said.

It's always better to overstate the number, rather than understate it, so that rescue operations will be undertaken in proper strength.

Yes, I know. I was quite dismayed when Bush did it in New Orleans, too.

At least Obama has the integrity to realize and admit mistakes:

"There are going to be times when I get tired," he (Obama) said. "There are going to be times when I get weary. There are going to be times when I make mistakes."

Despite all his lies and "mistakes," how many times has George Bush admitted he made a mistake? (none)

How about Hillary or most of the other candidates for president? They (generally) refuse to admit they made a mistake by giving the worst president in US history the authority to commit war crimes.

There is very little likelihood that the world will confuse the very occasional verbal mistakes of an orator like Obama with the sometimes adolescent ramblings of George.

And if you're dumb enough to believe that, then I can probably convince you Iran has weapons of mass destruction and they are terrorists and linked to 9/11.

Yes, Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Anne Coulter are the closest to nuetral media ho's out there.
And they love rooking in the neocon's money - it beats working for a living.

It's a sad thing when politicians use a disaster like the tornado in Greensburg to try to move ahead a political agenda that is totally unrelated. Governor Sebelius has since recanted her statement, she actually received everything she asked for. The people of this midwest farm community have responded with grace and dignity not seen in most of our leaders. Their neighbors have pitched in, and will continue to be there for the duration of the need. I hope our governor will be more supportive in the future.

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died %u2014 an entire town destroyed" - Barack Obama

He was making an erudite historical reference to "Bleeding Kansas" in the pre Civil War era.

It's good to see well educated people seeking the Oval Office.

Hey, fair is fair, fairandbal. Obama mistated, and this article calls him on it. Don't try to make this article into something that it isn't just to satisfy your own political predilections. So give US a break.

"It's also fair to point out that Bush gives much worse gafes on a daily basis..."

Hey, fair is fair, fairandbal. Obama misstated, and this article calls him on it. Don't try to make this article into something that it isn't just to satisfy your own political predilections.

[fairandbal]

give me a break! It is no surprised that the MSM, CBS included, is so desparate to save the GOP in 2008, but is this the best you can do?! If the worst dirt you can truly come up with is a $400 hair cut or Obama getting a number wrong, Dems will cruise. But it's apparent that the petty attacks by CBS and the rest of the MSM will continue.

It's also fair to point out that Bush gives much worse gafes on a daily basis and have never been pointed out like this (i.e. with a headline). Be fair! It's clear you don't like Democrats.
