The 8 Most Offensive Barack Obama Moments The 8 Most Offensive Barack Obama Moments

By Ian Tindell | Los Angeles
George W. Bush had his slew of off-color statements that Liberals took feverish delight in tearing apart. Well, Barack Obama has had his fair share of ridiculous statements that give the other side plenty of ammunition to fire right on back.

Here are the eight most cringe-worthy moments in all their glory...or horror, depending on which way you look at it.

    Obama Doesn't Know How Many States We Have
    "Hey, Obama, how many states have you traveled to?" Obama answers. "...wait, what?" We know it's a lot to ask, but we like our presidents to know how many states we have in the union before they get TOO far. Just sayin'.

    Romantic Date Night While Troops Are Dying
    Sure, everyone deserves a break, right? But it's probably not a good idea to take that break if you're the President of the United States during wartime and three troops died within 24 hours of a $40,000 date in New York City. Sure, you can continue to live your life a little, even though you're the President and have the future of the free world on your shoulders... but maybe the timing should be a little better next time? Look on the bright side, for a Democratic president who is described as charismatic as Kennedy and Clinton, at least he was going out with his WIFE.

    Burns Thousands of Gallons of Jet Fuel and Then Plants a Tree
    On Earth Day 2009, a day in which many people don't even drive their car to work, Obama planted a tree and then gave a speech about wind energy. Unfortunately, he traveled to and from Iowa to do so. This means he burned over 7,000 gallons of jet fuel to make this trip and to plant that single tree. Isn't that kind of like stealing a car, robbing a bank, then getting home and accidentally dinging a car... then leaving a note?

    Obama Makes Fun of the Special Olympics
    Ok, so we've probably all made jokes about the Special Olympics at some point in our lives, but the difference between us and Obama is that we didn't make fun of them while being President of The United States. For the sound bite, please go to 00:20 in this video.

    Obama Gives The UK Horrible Horrible Gifts
    In early 2009, met with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown in Washington. The Prime Minister gave President Obama the fine gift of a pen holder made from parts of the circa 19th century British warship HMS President, which is awesome because the desk in the oval office is made from the HMS President's sister ship the HMS Resolute. A pretty great gift, right? Not to be outdone, Obama brought Gordon Brown 25 American DVDs. A symbol of the American people... and their ignorance. The DVDs he gave Gordon Brown were region 1 MDSC which means that they are completely useless in the U.K., but as this lighthearted video points out, makes them much easier to sell on eBay. On a side note, later on, he gave the Queen of England an iPod on a visit to Buckingham Palace. Maybe they came in a bundle when they got them for the kids for Christmas.

    Obama Refuses to Answer a Question...and Comes Off a Little Sexist
    Don't you just love how politicians go to places of need like an auto plant to pose in cars and shake hands only to not answer a question like the one found at 00:30? We know we sure do. Not only does he completely discount a woman trying to ask him a question, he calls her a demeaning name and then ends up never answering her question.

    Obama Overstates the Kansas Deathtoll...By a Lot
    During his bid for the presidency, Obama went to Kansas after they had a devastating tornado hit. Just how devastating was it? According to Obama, it killed 10,000 people. In reality, only 12 were killed. Come on, he was just off by 9,988...that's...well, that's...alright, that's pretty bad.

    Obama Says Nancy Reagan Conjures Spirits
    To start his presidency off right, during his first press conference, Barack Obama said that he'd spoken to "all former presidents" and then back peddled saying he had spoken to all "living presidents", exacting that he didn't want to go into a "Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, seances". This was all only because at some point Nancy Reagan had been said to use an astrologer to help determine President Reagan's schedule during his presidency.

...this list would probably have 92 more if John McCain/Sarah Palin was in office.

These are lame. Sorry guys, nice try. I miss the master of the dumb, W.

by Chris Stansfield at March 25, 2010 06:49
This is the best you can come up with? "Obama gives horrible presents?" Really? Is that sort of like the last president giving horrible (unwanted) massages to foreign leaders? By the way, Nancy Reagan DID use a medium, so I'm not sure why his joke is more offensive than the fact that we had bonafide con artists affecting the White House schedule.

  by anonymous at March 18, 2010 09:23
what about bowing to foreign heads of state?

  by anonymous at March 27, 2010 11:36
What about Georgie holding hands with them and kissing them on the mouth? At least Obi isn't gay for oil.

by Chris Stansfield at March 25, 2010 06:50
You mean like numerous presidents have done over the years, including Republican ones?

  by anonymous at March 24, 2010 18:53
How about kissing or holding hands with leaders of states known to support terrorism?

by Grundie at March 17, 2010 07:57
Wow. This is all the Phony Indignation Machine can conjure up, eh? "Horrible gifts?" "Expensive Dates?" Call me when he leads our country into an unwinnable war based on information he knows is a bunch of lies, ok? Til then, how about you shut it and accept he's the best president we've had in..well... my lifetime...

by Whatevayoulike at March 10, 2010 12:51
Haha yes! anything to show these obama propagandist that he's not all he's cracked out to be. 57 states in the US? durrrrrr

by Brettski at March 10, 2010 13:23
hahah i can't believe he said that. and what is he doing going on such expensive date nights?!

by JamesL at March 10, 2010 08:49
If these are really his most offensive moments, then what is the problem? Whoever made this list is reaching...big time. You folks complaining need to look at what the last administration left you with. Seriously, open your eyes.

  by anonymous at March 03, 2010 19:56
Since when was "sweatie" a demeaning term?

by LarryG at March 03, 2010 18:34
The man is a complete dope.

by John Barryman at March 05, 2010 16:50
the man is nothing special, but it is hard to pick up from where bush left off.

by w3bgrrl at March 03, 2010 17:56
If you had each instance where he speaks of a political opponent while he scratches his face with his middle finger, you could populate an entire top 10 list.

by JJW at March 03, 2010 11:11
RE: #8 I think Obama was confusing Nancy Reagan with Hillary, who once said she talked with Eleanor Roosevelt.

by cnredd at March 02, 2010 19:55
I thought he was pretty offensive inauguration day when he took an oath he never planned on keeping. cnredd Political Wrinkles http://politicalwrinkles.com

Definitely the shout out. Our soldiers were murdered and he was giving a shout out. What a joke.

  by anonymous at March 27, 2010 11:39
Yeah that was sad when he gave the shout out. Hey wait a sec!!! Didn't somebody else cause the soldiers to get murdered? Oh yeah, it was the last douche.

by BeastieRunner at March 02, 2010 14:53
Funny list.

by DaveHoward at March 02, 2010 00:01
Obama mispeaks.. and you can only find 8? He still hasn't been absent in times of National Emergencies. Like Bush was during the 2001 recession, or 9-11 or Katrina.

  by anonymous at March 18, 2010 09:27
I'm sorry, Bush where he was supposed to be on 9-11? And why is it Bush's fault about the Katrina response? What about the city and state? The city and state KNEW what could happen and did not plan for it.

by Diego at March 03, 2010 10:19
Or during the Kentucky Ice Storms in 2009 when people had no power or food, and he was walking around the Oval Office set at 80F (and told us during the campaign that doing something like that wasn't leadership.)

by Rober at March 03, 2010 08:20
Except the time he was hanging out at the beach when Army officer under his command when on a jihadist killing spree. He couldn't even be bothered to acknowledge it for two days.

  by anonymous at March 27, 2010 11:47
Wow, nice. Nutbag kills a few guys compared to the hijacking of several planes, over 3000 dead, invasion of wrong country resulting in lots of dead Americans and many more Iraqis, all after being briefed about imminent Al Quaed attack and an FBI agent's warning that suspected terrorists were learning to fly planes in Texas. Sorry you fail at this event.

Awww, isn't that cute? Go back to your Mom's basement, troll.
