Washington Times: Coffee cup salute and Obama's other biggest White House fails

Number one: he bumped his head boarding Marine One. Yes, really.

Coffee cup salute and Obama's other biggest White House fails



President Barack Obama waves and learns the door on Marine One is much shorter than he is, and bumps his head slightly, Monday, Feb 9, 2009, as he leaves for a trip to Andrews Air Force Base, Md. and then onto Elkhart, Ind. to hold a town hall meeting on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan.

How many of them even know that their 'trusted' news sources were developed over the last 3 decades by a pro-global fascist, Korean cult leader?

Some people must lead. Tell them what: They can sit at their teevees and laugh at POTUS Funniest Home Videos while the rest of us do the hard work of dealing with governing and taking care of REAL problems. Deal or no deal?

Or when he tried to salute while holding a dog?

Oh, right, he was white and a Republican. That made it OK for him to fuck up.
