Barack Obama has an infantile mentality.

Those are things we've seen and heard though over the last 7 years.

Obama has already made an arse of himself in only a few months and there is a long way to go.

Obama will first mess up, and then mess up even more trying to do damage control. It ultimately ends in very shallow factless arguments.

It's no wonder Obamatrons end their arguments in much the same manner.

Really? Him smoking makes him a bad man? Some of the wisest people I know smoke, or drink, or gamble, or have some kind of vice. You know, let it go. Smoking doesn't let off a "cool vibe" anymore like it used to, and it's getting banned everywhere. If he wants to quit, he'll quit, bottom line. We are a free country, yet rights are being taken away. He wouldn't be the first person that's smoked a cig, or drank a beer, or smoked some weed, or whatever. Open your minds and look further than the tip of your noses, and quit being ridiculous...

Hmm. So Bush wasn't saying dumb things before he was elected? He just got dumber as soon as he walked across the threshold of the Whitehouse did he?

Simply put, no - he didn't. You are just being selective with your non-argument.

But hell.... from when the man himself was on the campaign trail in 2000....from Balls Reports - Bushism's of 2000

"I am mindful of the difference between the executive branch and the legislative branch. I assured all four of these leaders that I know the difference, and that difference is they pass the laws and I execute them."

"That's a chapter, the last chapter of the 20th, 20th, the 21st century that most of us would rather forget. The last chapter of the 20th century. This is the first chapter of the 21st century. "

"The only things that I can tell you is that every case I have reviewed I have been comfortable with the innocence or guilt of the person that I've looked at. I do not believe we've put a guilty ... I mean innocent person to death in the state of Texas."

"The senator has got to understand if he's going to have — he can't have it both ways. He can't take the high horse and then claim the low road."

See, stupid is as stupid gets elected. Republicans say really really dumb things too.

Since we are sharing photos - meet the potential First Lady

Obama is more like Bush than anybody running.

You are so right. The constant self-reverent, self-referent, narcissistic, messianic comments coming from Barry should frighten everyone. Bush43 said that God told him to invade Iraq. That’s bad enough. But it seems that Barry thinks he’s God Himself. His well-rehearsed pretty speeches focus on biblical and messianic quotes shining the ‘savior role’ light on himself.

One of many sites keeping track of Obama’s self-messiah statements.

My favorite self promoting ‘I am the messiah’ type comment of Obama’s – ‘my hour is almost here’. (geeeeeze .. straight from scripture and straight from Christ – and he knows it)

That's wonderful, but Bush isn't a candidate running for election in 2008, is he?

Ok what's your point? Yes we know Bush is stupid, and that is our point, Obama is stupid like Bush. Do you want another Bush with darker skin in the white house?

How astute of you to notice that!

The point is/was that Republicans knocking Obama for saying dumb things is hypocritical.

Its not a hard point to grasp

How is it hypocritical? I knock Bush too, and I'm sure just about every poster on ATS does as well. And I'm a republican. Bush is a liberal. He might be a republican but he's not a conservative.

Not if those republicans also say that Bush says stupid things as well.

Fair enough - but people saying Obama shouldn't be president because he says dumb things really have no base to work off, do they?

And do those Republicans who say such things, also say that Bush isn't fit to be President?

Hey, you want to talk about the issues?

Obama's big plan, big legislative push is to obligate the U.S. to huge charity funding in Africa. Most of that money will get grabbed up by ruthless dictators and spent on weapons. History has clearly show that sending money to third world nations only serves to create more problems.

We will wind up funding the Muslim take over of Africa.

How much further into debt do you think Obama will push us with his big government plans? How much more debt are we going to heep onto our children and grandchildren?

If his Obamaisms are taken by themselves .. no. It's not enough to say he is unfit for POTUS duty. The Obamaisms are like the Bushisms ... icing on the unfit-for-duty cake.

And do those Republicans who say such things, also say that Bush isn't fit to be President?

See the above statement.

You mean the additional tax to 'fight global poverty'? It's nothing more than a marxist 'redistribution of wealth' program that is unfair to the working and tax paying American.

He's going to break America's back by piling on additional taxes.

Obama has "infantile mentality"?

G.W.Bush in one speech explains what left hand is doing BUT holding RIGHT hand in the air???

i will never forget that idiot's face. my 5 year old kid can't make that kind of mistake

Obama thinks there are 57 states.
He saw dead people at a memorial day speech.
He has economic plan of disaster, tax everything.
He will distroy the military.

Quite frankly I'm still waiting to see any quote that shows him to have an infantile mentality. Or his wife for that matter. Please post what your title states it will post.

This does not mean I necessarily support Barrack 'Hussein' (ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh, just love it when people like to point that name out) Obama. I just remember hundreds more ACTUAL infantile statements made by the current and proven liar of a president.

If this guy is elected fairly then it will stand to be seen whether or not he will back down on his promises or not. If he does then he will be proven a liar as well.

As far as I am concerned I am most likely going to vote for a 3rd party this time.

Fairness, like beauty, is in they eye of the beholder. Clinton got over 200,000 more votes than Obama in Texas, but Obama came away with more delegates in Texas. I don't know if that's "fair" or not. I do know it's REALLY REALLY stupid if the goal is to have representative government.

I took a logic class in college once and there was a technical term for this type of illogical argument. I forget what it was called. Anybody know?

It goes something like this:

1. Person A: "That box on the table contains an apple."
2. Person B: "But the box on the bed contains a bigger apple!"

It's like, WTF does statement 2 have anything to do with statement 1?

Is it possible for Obama supporters to craft a logical argument which defends Obama's foolishness without referring to somebody else's foolishness?

No, no, no, no, no......

Of course a person who says Obama shouldn't be POTUS because he says dumb things has a base to work off! The POTUS ideally shouldn't make idiotic misstatements like the U.S. has 57 states. Or that U.S. troops liberated Auschwitz. Even a cursory study of the history of WWII gives a person enough knowledge to realize that Russia troops liberated the Polish concentration camp.

This is the POTUS we're talking about, not a contestant on Jeopardy.

So yes, the base to work from is a criterion that the POTUS needs to have a fundamental understanding of geography and world history for starters.
