Just Words Barak Obama apparently needs a podium to speak from. When he's with the "little people" he seems to, well, you can read for yourself. "I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis." --speaking via satellite to the Democratic National Convention, while in Kansas City, Missouri, Aug. 25, 2008 "Let me introduce to you the next President -- the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden." --slipping up while introducing Joe Biden at their first joint campaign rally, Springfield, Illinois, Aug. 23, 2008 "Just this past week, we passed out of the out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee -- which is my committee -- a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon." --referring to a committee he is not on, Sderot, Israel, July 23, 2008 "Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." --Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008 "How's it going, Sunshine?" --campaigning in Sunrise, Florida "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." "Hold on one second, sweetie, we're going to do -- we'll do a press avail." --to a female reporter for ABC's Detroit affiliate who asked about his plan to help American autoworkers (Watch video clip) "I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon (Watch video clip) "Why can't I just eat my waffle?" --after being asked a foreign policy question by a reporter while visiting a diner in Pennsylvania "It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." --explaining his troubles winning over some working-class voters "The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's been bred in our experiences that don't go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that's just the nature of race in our society." "Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions." --exasperated by reporters after a news conference "You're likeable enough, Hillary." --during a Democratic debate "In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed." --on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people ~Compiled by Daniel Kurtzman |

they should have did the comparative word slips... On the opposition.. was it McCain who was standing in the middle East, and Joe Lieberman had to correct him after he kept making the same slip up. I'm sure all of them will make many more slip ups, most average people can't travel 3 days a week and remain focused and precisely clear in everything they say without slip up.. I'm fairly certain "Jet lag", hits all of them,... I recently took a course that entailed public speaking, and many of the seasoned speakers, told me about how draining it is after a big speech, once the adrenaline settles down. and both of them have been stomping across the country, for nearly 2 years... what is really going to matter, is about whom ever is elected .. don't slip up and shoot from the hip.. when it's decision making time.
