Someone on my forum where I originally wrote this went the same route you just did...Obama is against gay-marriage.
I think that's wrong and I want to beat some sense into him over that one. It's a way bigger issue than ANY of the ones you list.
There. You happy now? Obama is wrong about something. :mrgreen:
Here's the key...
I'm NOT talking about policy...:no:
EVERY politician in the world doesn't do everything in 100% agreement with their constituents...His stance (or lack of) of "Don't ask; Don't tell" and same-sex marriages are pefect examples of that...
I'm talking about the leadership...
To be frank, there are millions of people that honestly believe this guy craps sundaes with sprinkles and whatever he does is correct...
Insulting the Special Olympics...Going to Europe for 1 day to speak on behalf of Chicago for the 2016 Olympics without having his staff see to it he wouldn't look like a dope coming in last place beforehand...Van Jones and a host of admitted socialists in his administration...Canceling a meeting with the Dali Lama to appease China...Refusing to use and e-verification system for contributions during the campaign...Clueless without a teleprompter...Giving a "shoutout" before calling attention to the death of soldiers at the hands of a terrorist...calling the Constitution flawed and the founding fathers having a blind spot...an admission of redistributing wealth...renaming "Terrorism" to "man-caused disasters"...Hiring a guy who couldn't do his own taxes right to head the Teasury Department...
You know I can go on all week with this...:yes:
Some of these are small; some of them large...But it's amazing that there are people out there that have no problem with ANY of this...NONE!...zip...zilch...nada...
It's almost as if I could start a thread saying "Obama did something today" and we'd get responses of "It was the right move" before even finding out what that "something" was...

did you post a similiar treatise on the bush admin's "mistakes"?The big picture here is simple...
Bowing before other world leaders or various other "miscues" in the Obama World...Yeah, yeah, yeah...It's NOT the end of the world...
But these ARE examples of broken protocol, failure of leadership, and a willingness to insult America's OWN "local customs" (Like not putting his hand over his heart during a rendition of OUR national anthem or refusing to wear a lapel pin with the American flag)...I guess offending THOSE "cultural sensitivities" are hunky-dory when the offended are a large portion of the people he says he wanted to represent...:roll:
At some point, (and I'm generalizing here) the "Right" would like an admission from Obama's supporters that the person they voted for DID SOMETHING WRONG instead of saying "That's so small it doesn't need to be worried about."...
I hate to tell you, but 300 "small things" is a big thing...It's a pattern that, at SOME point, the average person would start to question his actions...:yes:
But instead, EVERYTHING that Obama has done is defended with vigor instead of a simple admission of "Yeah...OK...THAT ONE is pretty stupid and offensive"...
Giving the leader of the United Kingdom DVDs as a gift???....And they don't even work on that continent???....
"No problem" Obama supporters say...Maybe Gordon Brown was stupid for not having an American-style DVD player handy for emergency situations...:roll:
Giving the Queen of England an iPod filled with speeches of himself?...."That's not narcissism...That's elegance.", they say...
Bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia?...
"I didn't see any bow!" yells the President's spokesperson Robert Gibbs, as if auditioning for Sergeant Schultz in a remake of Hogan's Heroes...
Hell!...even the Secretary of State got into the mix when she had a button that was SUPPOSED to say "RESET" on a button showing how relations were to start fresh with Russia and the button said "OVERCHARGED"...
Isolated, these may be simple mistakes...
But the PATTERN shows that the current administration is inept, lacking discipline, is lazy in it's knowledge of protocol, and still hasn't gotten past the first three pages of a book on leadership skills...
I'm sure Obama detractors aren't 100% correct in every single accusation, but I'm equally sure his supporters aren't 100% correct either...But they sure do think they are...

You saw what you wanted to see.I may not be exactly who you're aiming at with this. I'm not a rabid supporter of him, but I did vote for him, and I think he's done an okay job as president so far.
That being said, he's definitely had his fair share of miscues and screw-ups. Especially the Fox News thing. That was incredibly childish.
I'm not sure what happened to the cool, polished guy we saw during his campaign.
You saw what you wanted to see.
I saw a slimy, lying, POS that would say whatever he thought his audience wanted to hear and do whatever he thought would help him get elected.
BTW, I thought McCain was the biggest mistake the Repubs could have made.
.
Gaffes, mistakes, misques, bad judgement, stupid "little" things add up in the long run.

The MSM certainly tried to help but it was registered Repubs that voted for him. They are the ones responsible for nominating him.Couldn’t agree with you more, except one small detail….
McCain was chosen by the media... all other candidates were smeared because the media thought McCain was the weakest, easiest to beat.
Disclaimer:
The above is personal opinion and I have no links to give you…. So don’t ask. :mrgreen:
You can also add, his attacks on fox news, his indecisiveness in general, his calling of other Americans teabaggers.....
we can also go into his racists statemnts, and his race baiting...... it all adds up...
shall we balance these "mistakes" against Bush? Ignoring the Clinton administrations urging to go after Osama bin Laden? Fabricating CIA "evidence" in order to begin a war? Completely ignoring all his campaign promises? Really funny that you think the format of a gift DVD is significant after what we've all been through.
