LOL! That's what the media would have you believe. Obama says there are 57 states, he says he's a member of the Committee of Banking, Housing, And Urban Affairs and The U.S. Senate Banking Committee, when he is a member of neither. He also messed up the name of Brownsville, TN, Sunshine, FL, Sioux Cit, SD, and too many other places to list. He said his father served in World War II and that his uncle liberated Auschwitz. Neither of which is true. He believes that there is a "Defense Against Marriage Act" He keeps forgetting to ask for donations to pay off Hillary's debt and has to go back out on stage. He says that American forces are just "air rading villages and killing civilians" in Afghanistan. The South Florida Sun Sentinel reported on an Obama rally, "It wasn't clear if Barack Obama knew where he was Friday Afternoon..." He stated that he wasn't doing well in Kentucky because of nearby Arkansas, whereas Arkansas doesn't border Kentucky, Illinois does. He stated he won the Michigan Primary, when he wasn't even on the ballot. He said that Israel is a strong friend of Israel, he confused the two langauges of Iraq and Afghanistan, he also incorrectly stated that we were sending aid to AIraq that should go to Afghanistan, which wasn't true. He confused Iran and Israel on numerous occasions. He criticised China for criticising remarks he made that he already apologized for and retracted. He has said he would remove all troops, then later say he would leave troops behind to protect our interests. He has referred to the Prime Minister of Canada as "president". He has cited bills that he "wrote" that he had no part of. He said that if obesity rates were at 1980's levels that the US would save "1 trillion". He said crimes against hispanics doubled in the previous year, when they had not. Basically, he makes Bush look halfway intelligent.
I mean, this is only the campaign and these represent only half of the gaffe's that have been reported in the news. Yet, we see more coverage of McCain being confused, when Obama is obviously confused as well. No one is senile. Chalk it up to the fact that these two men are absolutely exhausted. How many of us could keep our own names straight with all the traveling and campaigning these two guys have to endure.
