OMFG! Great video jfiq. I understand this completely.
Question: Do you think it’s possible he’s reading a speech or talking points that were written by somebody else? A campaign aide, for example? That is how things work in the real world. Did you notice how he … paused … as he read the part about ‘the bomb’?
He knew damn well it wasn’t accurate. He’s also standing up there in front of a crowd of people and in front of television cameras trying to carry a speech. Which I’m sure you do ALL THE TIME, so you know how difficult it is, and how people never make mistakes.
The larger arc of his experience, his education, the time spent living in Hawaii, it suggests that your overall assertion: that he doesn’t know what happened at Pearl Harbor — you’re FULL OF SHIT. Partisan crap-mongers.
And I completely understand how fringe-lunatics seize on stuff like this as ‘evidence’ that Obama is somehow ignorant about American History because he was edumacated in a madrassa and is a secret muslim.
For the rest of us: ‘Zbig’ was a prof at Columbia when I was there. I had several friends who took his class and would come back to the dorm and talk politics for hours. ‘Z’ might have been there when Obama was getting his BA. Wonder if he took classes with Zbigniew…
