OBAMA CAMPAIGN'S GAFFE OF THE CENTURY

It was bound to happen sooner or later. The candidate is too much the novice and his campaign staff far too inexperienced to get a free ride.

Add to this the fact that the candidate and his staff have zero humility but seem to possess an arrogance that defies logic.

The Barack Obama campaign attempted to explain why it has been so doggedly determined to put the candidate on glowing display in Europe during his much-touted overseas tour, and in doing so may have committed the single biggest political gaffe of the century.

Obama faced criticism from some within the EU, German Chancellor Angie Merkel in particular, who did not want the candidate making a 'campaign speech' from the Brandenburg Gate as he requested.

The Obama campaign responded with this incredible piece of reasoning: 'When the President of the United States goes out to give a speech, it is not a political speech or a political rally.'

Of course, the statement is true. Problem is, Barack Hussein Obama is not the President of the United States, a small fact that he seems to have lost while on his trip to the Middle East and Europe. It's hard to maintain your sense of groundedness in reality when you are the subject of adoration 24/7 by those who liken you to the Savior of Mankind.

This one single statement by a senior Obama campaign official represents the political gaffe of the century. But the statement is only the tip of the iceberg. What lies beneath is an attitude of entitlement that assumes Obama speaks with the full weight of a head of state, which he clearly does not.

Obama had absolutely no business speaking with the Iraqi Prime Minister, for example, concerning troop withdrawals. This is the task of the President of the United States and his official representatives alone.

And thus, we now have major gaffe number 2.

Gaffes 3 and above, ad infinitum, came during Katie Couric's one-on-one interview with Obama during the CBS Evening News Tuesday evening.

Under surprising pressure from Couric, Obama still insists that 'if he knew then what he knew now,' he STILL would not support the troop surge in Iraq, which has resulting in a stinging defeat for terrorist insurgents in the country.

The candidate also snatched the victory away from our troops serving in Iraq and credited the improving conditions solely on circumstances inside Iraq, particularly the Sunnis.

And as if this were not enough, Obama claims he never stated two different positions on dividing up Jerusalem between Israel and the Palestinians, although the statements in question have been preserved on video, which you can find by clicking on the links provided below.

So dreadful was Obama during the interview with Couric that one commentator has stated that this could be the beginning of the end for the candidate.
