I am sorry, I don't want that happening when he sits down with super powers like Russia and China and he gets their allies and enemies so mixed up that a gaffe like that causes an incident because of his misspeak...and face it...he has already said long ago that he doesn't trust Asians (referring to them as 'gooks') so do we really want him at the table with them especially now that most of these countries aren't all that friendly with us?

It's a lot easier for someone to get confused about something like foreign relations but when you've been in the United States for forty years, you don't forget how many states there are no matter how tired you get. And I've never heard this stuff so where are your sources? And yes, I would much rather McCain sit at that table than anyone else running.

Well you haven't been paying attention to this part of GC much if you haven't heard of McCain's gaffe...

You can either search along here because I did post about that a while back or you can use google since you missed it.

IF I understand DaemonSeid' posting correctly, the pattern refers to Bush and no one else.
Please correct me if I am wrong.

WTF? He used that word to describe the Vietnamese? I've never heard it used except to reference Koreans.

I know many people of Korean ethnicity refer to themselves as "Han Gook".

i've always heard it specifically for vietnamese. but either way, in regards to this, i can't see how any asian american would vote for mccain.

Obama Auschwitz reference, another stumble for Obama. What do you guys think, lying to advance agendas and give himself first hand credibility, or simple mistake?

ETA: DSTCHAOS, is he closing in on stupid pattern behavior?

Option C: Not that serious

The "Obama is a sexist" thing didn't go as far as I thought that it would. I was kinda into that one because I hate when random men use pet names for women. Damn him for that. But I guess people are too stuck on the other stuff (how many states there are, his race, his religion, etc.) to care about perceived sexism.

Stupid in terms of not knowing how many states there are OR stupid in terms of not choosing his words wisely for whatever reasons?

If it's the latter then the candidates are tied. But since I'm not a fan of any of these candidates or take any of them seriously, I'm not surprised.

IMVHO, a rather simple error in speech.
The GOP brought in up as if it was such a huge deal
"Obama's mistaken mention of the camp on Monday quickly generated Internet chatter, ranging from puzzlement to outrage. The Republican Party demanded an explanation."
