A conclusion I would expect from someone with an IQ of 12.

Right. I can't help it if he's quoted as saying something that is rather ambiguous.

I deleted my bombastic responses.

If, as in Clark and Frank's posts, Obama simply means good schools then he made a very poor choice in using the term "reparations," a term which has a clearly different meaning. As with his recent veiled racism accusations at McCain, it reflects a growing problem the man has in speaking off Teleprompter.

Obama has a growing problem speaking off teleprompters? This from the guy who supports Bush, Cheney and McCain? lol! That's rich.

What do Bush, Cheney, and McCain have to do with it? Have I said Bush is the greatest speaker in the world?

Attacking Bush isn't exactly a resounding defense. It's apparent that Obama has problems when he goes off script--his inadvertent use of the politically-charged "undivided Jerusalem" comes to mind--and confuses listeners who don't possess your Obama Urim and Thummim as to what he "really" means.

Sure, Obama has had his share of "gaffes." Who doesn't when a microphone is in front of their face 24/7 and they are tired from a grueling campaign? What is amusing is watching you try to spin it as if Obama can't handle speaking off teleprompter or that he is somehow incapable of articulating thoughts on his own if they aren't written down in front of him. It is all the more amusing that you, of all people, would choose this line of attack given your incessant support for politicians and candidates who are far, far worse than Obama will ever be when "winging it."

"24/7 microphones being shoved in their faces" and "grueling campaigns" definitely hasn't spared your hand when criticizing Republican gaffes.

I don't know about "incapable" but it is certainly a problem for him.

Like what? I generally take it easy on all politicians when they misspeak for a "gaffe" (unless it is something they continually repeat in which case it is less likely they are misspeaking).

Then tell us small-brained people why Obama is too big of a pussy to accept McCain's challenge to have townhall meetings? You know, debates without teleprompters?
