History repeats itself for Obama
And it is not the parts that one wants to have repeated. As Ed Morrissey from Hot Air points out this morning, Barack Obama once again forgot what city he was in and called it “Sunshine” instead of “Sunrise” Florida.
ABC News’ Tahman Bradley reports: Before a packed stadium on a rainy afternoon in Sunrise, Fla., Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., voiced pleasure with his first visit to the state in six months. “We’ve had a great three days campaigning here in Florida. But I regret that we couldn’t campaign here earlier. But I promise you we’re going to make up for some lost time,” said the presidential hopeful, who initially referred several times to Sunrise as Sunshine.
Thats several times he referred to Sunrise as Sunshine before he caught it. Here is the video of the event where you see he refers to it as “Sunshine” at least twice. Notice how CNN conveniently put the location on the screen.
Now, some of you think that all these gaffes are happening just because this has been a very stressful primary season. Well do you think being the leader of the free world is going to be any less stressful?
Imagine a world where President Obama meets with with the leader of Niger and refers to his country as “Nigeria” or the leader of Kyrgyzstan and calls it “Kazakhstan.” Think that is too far fetched? I, for one, don’t think it is.
Plus, if Obama keeps repeating his own mistakes again and again, what is to stop him from repeating history’s mistakes? Many people are already viewing him as an appeaser so what is to stop him from possibly making Chamberlain’s mistakes in the future?
This one incident is pretty minor in the grand scheme of things but when you combine it with his previous mix up in city names and his “57 states” comments, you begin to see a trend.
And people think Bush is a moron just because he likes to pronounce words differently.
