No, it's not George Bush doing a Bushism - it's Barack Obama talking about a small Kansas town hit by a tornado, where 12 people died.

"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died—an entire town destroyed," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser.

LOL, is it a sign that I spend too much time on General that I actually know the storyline leading up to this pic? :p

from the same link:

As the Illinois senator concluded his remarks a few minutes later, he appeared to realize his gaffe.

"There are going to be times when I get tired," he said. "There are going to be times when I get weary. There are going to be times when I make mistakes."

So, he made a mistake, realised it, and admitted it a few minutes after making said mistake.

I saw your TM, I came but only cuz i wuv you.:p

I threw a ball of paper at the waste paper basket and missed. As a result trillions were tortured to death by imps. But then thats the risk you take with waste paper.

This is what one gets when they mentions "ROFLCOPTER" in their OP. Netcronyms just don't belong in that fabled position of respect and pride, and whenever they find their way to that spot, they invoke big, bad voodoo from the Gods of the Internet.

who the hell came up with that?

i've got it's bucket an i'm not given it back

Heee. :p

Obviously he's been reading "great speeches I have made" by a certain George W. Bush!

My ROFLCOPTER moment for the day...
My favourite part of the article is this one:

During his speech, Obama stirred the crowd as he often does by skewering President Bush over the unpopular war and noting that he opposed it from the outset.

"How could we have been involved in a war that never should have been authorized, that has already cost us half a trillion dollars," Obama said.
Far more important than his obvious gaffe. :)

Thats nothing. A private two seater plane crashed into a cemetary near Dublin last night. Police have so far recovered 127 bodies.

Ba dum tish!

At least he recognized his mistake during the same speech and corrected himself. Never seen Bush do that in one of his Bushisms.

Oh please get a sense of humor. I just love it when any politician puts his foot in his mouth all the way up to the knee.

Especially when you yourself can declare that they did that and they are in the party you don't like.

Last I checked he hasn't humiliated the entire country for decades to come. Not that funny, it's an honest mistake.

from 12 to 10,000 is quite a big mistake. Some could accuse him of falling victim to classic sensationalism.

At least he got it was 10. Thousand can easily come from a wandering mind. I havn't heard the speech so I can't speculate where he was going.

from 12 to 10,000 is quite a big mistake.
Not when it was only 10 deaths when he gave the speech. I didn't know it was to 12 until I read an article about what Obama said.
The death toll only went up to 11 the day he gave the speech, unknown whether it was before or after.

from 12 to 10,000 is quite a big mistake. Some could accuse him of falling victim to classic sensationalism.

or he said "ten thousand" instead of "ten", which...pretty easy to do considering he's discussed issues in iraq often enough and is quite often refering to deaths in the thousands.

Obviously this makes Obama unelectable.

Absolutely. This is proof that he is out of touch with the mainstream of American thought on tornado related deaths in Kansas, and so cannot possibly hope to relate to middle America.

and these highly inflated numbers obviously suggests that Obama has been entirely co-opted by the Tornado lobby and their deep, cone shaped pockets.

oh man, this thread makes me need my bucket

Really? But Remote Observer says I need to get a sense of humor. ;)

Grow some balls, Nazz, Bush is getting jammed up for saying "17 *pause* 1996", it is only fair to let right-wingers mock Obama for the same sort of stuff.
Let's just hope, for all our sakes, that would-be comedian notices a passing (by which I mean nonexistent) similarity between a picture of Obama he found and a mongoose.

Yeah thats a lame Bushism. The Queen already put him in his place anyway.

One crucial difference. Had that been the ONLY gaffe bush has made, it would be a minor chuckle then moving on.

As it is, however, this is just one in a looooong line

And if you notice, Bush is reading a prepared speech. Not repeating a memorized prepared speech, but reading it off the damn podium. He looks down after every couple lines.

If he had practiced it before, it would be pretty obvious not to say 1776.

12 to 10,000 seems more like an "I need more coffee." mistake though. ;)

It wasn't even confirmed to be 11 when he gave the speech.

*Yawn*

Wake me when he says something outrageous, something funny, or have at least one page of Obamaisms. Then we'll talk.
