Obama is the new Bush. They are finally facing the obvious (what we on the right have known since the days of the campaign), Obama is as big a gaffe machine as Bush<\/a>:<\/p>\n

We all remember those nerve-racking George W. Bush speeches and press conferences. Flubs, gaffes and mispronunciations came so fast and furious, it was like watching that old anti-drug ad. You remember: They cracked an egg into the hot frying pan and said, “This is your brain on drugs.”
\nFor a few blissful weeks into the reign of Obama, I thought those drug-addled, white-knuckle days were past. But tonight he’ll be on “60 Minutes” answering questions far tougher than Leno’s. Will it be an uh-uh-uh-uh-uh night? An um-um-um-um-um night? Will he go after oldsters or maybe chubbettes?
\nWho knows?
\nI do know my shattered nerves can’t take it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Poor lefty! She’s going to have a very tough four years. Believe me, I know \ud83d\ude42
\nBTW, she didn’t include in her column Obama’s latest gaffe<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\nObama, touring a California electric car plant on Thursday, said, “The 1908 Model T — think about this — the 1908 Model T earned better gas mileage than the typical SUV in 2008.”
\n“Think about that: 100 years later, and we’re getting worse gas mileage, not better, on SUVs,” Obama said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, real smart comparing a car to an SUV. But what’s even funnier:<\/p>\n

Jay Klehfoth, chief executive officer of the Centerville, Ind.-based Model T Ford Club of America, said he averages about 25 mpg on his four Model Ts. But with an array of modern regulations, he noted, “You couldn’t build a Model T today because the government wouldn’t let you put it on the road.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
