Another One for the "Obama Is Kinda Stupid" File
Posted by Frank J. at 12:11 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (39)

From Obama's Memorial Day speech in New Mexico:

"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 -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."

So either he doesn't know what a fallen hero is or he has the sixth sense. If you believe the latter, why in the world would the military dead be attending an Obama rally? That's like a wookie living on Endor.

Run! Zombie invasion!

You guys just don't get it. Illinois Democrats are used to looking at potential voters, and saying "I see dead people!" That is why they have traditionally courted the post-living vote so effectively.

#2 - Posted by: nyexpat on May 27, 2008 12:41 PM

It is amazing how every time this guys opens his mouth, something more stupid comes out. Should be a very entertaining general election season, should he live past June!

#3 - Posted by: Bitterbutfree on May 27, 2008 12:44 PM

This is YESTERDAY'S Obama foot-in-mouth moment.

Today's is that his uncle was in "the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz." Which is odd, since the Russians were the ones who invaded Poland and rescued the people in that extermination camp.

#4 - Posted by: cirby on May 27, 2008 01:09 PM

Obama be running at the mouth with gaffe engine firing on all cylinders. All 57 states with one left to go will be happy to vote for him.

A nation of idiots.

#5 - Posted by: Jimmy on May 27, 2008 01:14 PM

Once, when in the Army, I fell off a truck. Perhaps that's what he meant when addressing all the fallen heroes in the crowd.

#6 - Posted by: PaleoMedic on May 27, 2008 01:14 PM

All he said was "Fallen Heroes". Barak doesn't seem the type to think of the military as "Heroes". He probably saw all of his dead people he looks up to;

Benedict Arnold, Diana Oughton, Ted Gold, and Terry Robbins.

They're the ones who kept Napoleon from taking Paris.

Obama for overlord! http://www.nostate.com/28/i-for-one-welcome-our-new-obama-overlords/

#10 - Posted by: Mike on May 27, 2008 01:28 PM

Well we already know the dead vote for Democrats (more than once in some cases) so he was just ginning up his base. But now we at least know who is writing BO's speeches... the kid from Sixth Sense.

#11 - Posted by: Aaron on May 27, 2008 02:47 PM

He's the friggin messiah. Of course he can see dead people. Cheeze, what's wrong with you people?

#12 - Posted by: Alan on May 27, 2008 03:55 PM

If the dead are going to vote for Obama, why can't they attend his stupid little speech?

#13 - Posted by: Marvin on May 27, 2008 04:20 PM

I see dumb, er... I mean dead people

#14 - Posted by: jim on May 27, 2008 05:34 PM

He probably saw Jane Fonda in the front row. Ever since 1974, she looks like death warmed over.

#15 - Posted by: BigRichardSmall on May 27, 2008 05:56 PM

The dead all vote Democrat, so of course he sees them! It is a trait that most of the leaders in his Party share.

#16 - Posted by: belisariusx on May 27, 2008 06:47 PM

Well, this quote just goes to prove what an absolute moron President Bush is. The man can't even...

Oh, wait- Obama said this?
Obviously it's taken out of context, or he was referring to something else, or he was tired, or...or...

YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL RACISTS!!!!

#17 - Posted by: Bob in Feenicks on May 27, 2008 06:55 PM

but you can't doubt his intentions to hope for change, the change in your pocket

affirmative action is tokenism, and this jackass is relying on it

#18 - Posted by: on May 27, 2008 07:35 PM

"Kinda Stupid"?

We should hope for more such change as a result of affirmative action.

Did anyone ask the 'fallen heroes' present at the event for their comments?

#21 - Posted by: 4 of 7 on May 27, 2008 08:21 PM

Ahhh...he's relying on plan 9 to conquer earth...the resurrection of the dead. First they vote, then they become his army!

"Stronger? You see...you see...your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!"

Hopefully, his animation ray gun will jam and Inspector Clay will choke him to death aboard the mother ship!

"That was...too close!"

It's never to late to get on board!

All aboard the crazy train! There's still time to board before it goes flying off the track into a ravine!

RON PAUL!

#25 - Posted by: MarkoMancuso on May 27, 2008 09:53 PM

Great...we thought Nancy having astrologers at the White House was odd.

Now we have Barack "I see dead people" Obama.

#26 - Posted by: Mrs. Who on May 27, 2008 11:06 PM

And this moron is going to beat the Republican nominee like a rented mule in the fall! How are things going for you these days at the RNC?

#27 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on May 28, 2008 07:07 AM

It's reported that Obama has a speech scheduled in PA where he intends to thank the British military for coming to the aid of America during the Revolutionary War to aid us in becoming a free people...

#28 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on May 28, 2008 07:15 AM

Come on folks, this is the New, Improved, Multiracial, Liberated Messiah you're talking about. Of course he sees dead people. Not only that but he can cure all the worlds ills, insure peace in our time, provide jobs for everyone in the world-thus eliminating poverty and sickness. He can even be proud of his country-now.

This is a god (notice the small g/no sacrilege here) we're talking about. Get on the plan or he'll send you to outer darkness.

#29 - Posted by: seanmahair on May 28, 2008 08:32 AM

"Obama Is Kinda Stupid"

As in he would flunk a high school US history exam.

But no matter. He's smarter than the millions who support him. And they are the ones also electing our Congress. This is a good lesson in... "Democracy."

Dumb it down. Get used to it.

#30 - Posted by: Jimmy on May 28, 2008 10:06 AM

Obama takes "the democracy of the dead' seriously. It's like he's got a sixth sense or something.

Obama: I see dead people.
Howard Dean: In your dreams? (Obama shakes his head no)
Michelle Obama: While you're awake? (Obama nods)
Zbigniew Brezynski: Dead people like, in graves? In coffins?
Obama: Walking around like regular people. They don't see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're dead.
Jimmy Carter: How often do you see them?
Obama: ALL THE TIME.

Memo to Barry: the fallen can't get up and vote for you.

He needs some time at the School for Special Presidential candidates. Unless he's demonstrating what a swell Shaman-in-Chief he'll be. Booga Booga!

What a maroon. Why can't he just grab his magic feather, flap his ears, and fly away?

#31 - Posted by: Ed Bush on May 28, 2008 10:17 AM

My question for him, is "why not reanimate them?"

#32 - Posted by: spacemonkey on May 28, 2008 11:52 AM

Getting the feeling when he admitted to smoking pot, he lost his train of thought on finishing with 'and I have stopped on certain days most years' .

#33 - Posted by: erg on May 28, 2008 02:45 PM

The dead have been voting Democrat for years. Obama is just the first one to see his constituency (no spook jokes, please).

#34 - Posted by: Tommy the Towelhead on May 28, 2008 05:45 PM

Monkey Faced Liberal: Al Gore couldn't even carry his home state of Tennessee in 2000 and Kerry only won 19 states out of 50 plus the D.C. You think Obama will win in November 2008? Only if the dead vote...

#35 - Posted by: Timbre on May 28, 2008 09:51 PM

Sadly Endor was to be the Wookie home world but those *1!%&# Ewoks got used instead. Something about kid appeal.

#36 - Posted by: Jack on May 29, 2008 01:23 AM

Obama's not stupid. He's super smart. Learn why:

I think we're hurting ourselves if we go after Obama on this one. It's not like there's some shortage of stupid things he's said. This one's defensible -- there were undoubtedly some wounded vets in attendance, and calling them "fallen heroes" isn't that big a stretch.

I still think it's endlessly hilarious that an Obama troll has taken up residence here as if expecting to change anyone's mind. Heck, I find it hilarious that Obama trolls exist. The man is trolling the whole country with tremendous success -- why waste your time doing it online?

#38 - Posted by: Zeke on June 2, 2008 01:24 PM

That's what I meant. Did any one interview any of the vets present and ask them what they thought of being called 'fallen heroes'?
