John McCain And Economics

Here is a doozy from Republican nominee for President Of The United States when questioned about economics during an interview with the Boston Globe:

"The issue of economics is not something I've understood as well as I should. I've got Greenspan's book."

Very reassuring for a presidential hopeful. I suppose the President doesn't need to know much about economics seeing how the US economy is doing so well!

Barack Obama With A Little Geography Lesson!

Seems the Democratic nominee is not immune to foot-in-the-mouthitis. At a campaign stop in Beaverton, Iowa Mr. Obama uttered this wondeful quote:

"I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go."

I wasn't the greatest geography and history student but come on, a presidential hopeful really needs to know how many states our country has!

Our Prez again

President Bush, speaking at a bill signing ceremony(8-5-2004) left us with this Oops:

“Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we".

Mr. Gore

Al Gore with another case of selective memory:

When addressing a labor union, Gore recalled that when he was young his mother would sing him the labor union song. That is a great memory except the song was written when he was 27!

Al Gore

Mr Gore has been known to embellish just a tad bit. Here is a good one:

Speaking on CNN Late Edition Al says "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet".

Oops, the internet, then known as ARPANET was created in 1969, 8 years before almighty Al was inducted into the US Congress. Shall we induct him? Not yet, I have more on the way that will cement his hall of fame status!
