I wonder if CBC would have covered this if it was George Bush who said what Obama said. Every gaffe Bush said was glamorized by the likes of the CBC.

Yes, glamorized in a negative tone. Making a big deal out of every little gaffe. I guess you can't criticize Obama, because that would make you a racist. More hypocrisy. Do you disagree with the content of the video, bubber?

Did you guys see the Obama gaffes from last week?
Gaffe #1: He says Warren Buffet shouldn't be paying a higher tax rate than a Jew.
Gaffe #2: He decides to wave during a UN leader photo, covering the face of the leader standing beside him.
The guy's a complete moron.

Obama is a gaffe-machine. He stutters all the time. He's a much worse off-the-cuff speaker than George Bush. Of course, most people still subscribe to this mythology of Obama being a great orator (he does have a good voice when he tries, and when he's reciting a rehearsed speech), because the media buries his innumerable gaffes.

Here is one of many videos online of Obama's many gaffes. He has said unbelievably stupid things so many times.

THIS was a really funny gaffe from Obama. To be fair, being the President of the USA is certainly a hard job and he's always in front of the camera. He's bound to make mistakes. The double standard seen in the media with respect to how Bush was portrayed as dumb while Obama is seen as an "intellectual" (yeah, right) is apparent as these types of gaffes were completely buried.

The media under reports his gaffes because, well I'm not sure why... maybe because they like him.
They shouldn't pay such close attention to gaffes, except for the fact that people pay attention to such things and it gets people to watch the news.
Bush wasn't stupid, and it was unfair for the media to hound him as a supposed dolt...

Yes, because the supposedly fair media didn't like Bush.
