Will Media Report Obama's Gaffe About When Hugo Chavez Came to Power?
By Noel Sheppard | May 25, 2008 - 15:14 ET
Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama made another gaffe on the campaign trail Friday when he suggested at a luncheon hosted by the Cuban American National Foundation that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez came to power while George W. Bush was in the White House.
Chavez was first elected president in 1998, and reelected in 2000, both occurring while Bill Clinton was serving his second term.
This was not the only gaffe Obama made in Florida Friday, for at another campaign stop, the junior senator from Illinois several times referred to the city of Sunrise as "Sunshine." This comes a week after calling Sioux Falls, South Dakota, "Sioux City," and two weeks after saying that America has 57 states.
Will Obama-loving media ever cover these gaffes?
While you ponder, here's the text of Obama's mistake concerning Chavez (video embedded upper right, relevant section begins at minute 2:50, h/t LGF):
Story Continues Below Ad [5; Since the Bush Administration launched a misguided war in Iraq, its policy in the Americas has been negligent toward our friends, ineffective with our adversaries, disinterested in the challenges that matter in peoples’ lives, and incapable of advancing our interests in the region. No wonder, then, that demagogues like Hugo Chavez have stepped into this vacuum.
Are these gaffes ever going to get reported?
This is a presidential election, and the man who is likely to be the Democrat nominee doesn't seem to know how many states are in our union, what city he's in when he's campaigning, or when our enemies came to power.
Isn't this newsworthy?
After all, if McCain made these errors on the stump, media would be claiming it to be early signs of Alzheimer's, and that would be the end of his campaign.
Those interested in more on the differences between how the press cover Democrat and Republican gaffes should read Michelle Malkin's fabulous piece on this subject from last Wednesday.

BHO is an empty suit, who is able to capitalize on decades of multicultural indoctrination. If he were white, Hillary would be the D nominee.

Great pic. which speaks a thousand words. With his voting coaliation of 99.9% of blacks, college kids and dopey, guilt ridden whites, he should hit 44% of the national vote, tops :P
And here is something his idiot old lady said: From a speech in California: "Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zone . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual - uninvolved, uninformed."~ Michelle Obama Just let that all sink in for a minute. Obummer is going to "require you to work." And he is going to make "demands" on you, make you "put down" things whether you choose to or not, and will not allow you to be alone or to be left alone. And he will "never allow you to go back to your lives as usual" no matter what you think about it. And people actually want to vote for this?
Yes, the HOPELESS and INEPT have nothing to lose, so HOPE and CHANGE is an attractive alternative to their hellish lives. Michelle and Barack better get a stable of slaves if social manipulation is their game. No free man or woman would allow those ivy league elitists to change the country to their warped image.
And they prove it with just about every post.
