Barack Obama's Memorial Day Speech...he sees dead people.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR8YaR3JEkE

This part is too funny:

“On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”

Why is this speech not on his campaign website?

There have always been assholes claiming to represent all sides. Racists, sexists, homophobes, jerks, drunken posters, let's see, who did I forget....apologists, paid disruptors, etc.

Yeah, definitely assholes on all sides. I just peer through the weeds to find the thoughtful ones, like you! Have a good day.

in a sane world, Obama supporters would be able to laugh at this as well. Maybe some will.

Obama himself has kept his sanity, so he might laugh if this is pointed out to him.

25. Bitter much?
I know you're scared watching the last death throes of the Hillary Clinton campaign and you feel the need to be like her husband and act like an ass, but what is particulary fascinating in watching you flail is that you are trying to actually make microseconds of a speech somehow seem meaningful.

Yes, you are bitter. Perhaps a little half-witted on the side as well. I would suggest you stop drinking this early in the morning though. Get some sleep.

29. "Our enemies ... never stop thinking of ways to harm our people, and neither do we."
For those whose hackles are rising:

Terrorism isn't funny, either, but people poked fun at george w. bush for that inane comment.

Obama's comment falls into the same category. What a constricted sense of political correctness we have, when an "oopsie" is off limits to laughter. We should forbid barbecues and trips to the lake for Memorial Day, then, for how can you honor the dead if you're having a good time, eh.

39. all presidents (and nominees) make verbal gaffes from time to time
Granted, Bush has made the verbal gaffe an artform, but even JFK had his. Remember "Ich bin ein Berliner"? In some parts of Germany it means "I am a jelly donut". My all-time favorite presidential(or nominee) gaffe HAS to be "I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base."

'I see many of them here today'... Can also be phrased... I see them in those that sit here now, the love they bring, the lives they've shared, in the faces of their children. The mark they left is still visible, and today they're here through those of you who continue to carry on.
