Former President Barack Obama called on world leaders to save the planet, but he couldn’t quite identify which country he was in.
Mr. Obama’s speech Monday at the COP26 climate-change summit is being mocked for his reference to host Scotland as part of the “Emerald Isles,” which is a nickname for Ireland. “Since we’re in the Emerald Isles here let me quote the Bard, William Shakespeare,” Mr. Obama said. “‘What wound,’ he writes, ‘did ever heal but by degrees?’” Observers pointed out Mr. Obama actually committed two gaffes in the same breath. Shakespeare is considered the bard of England—yet another country. Scotland’s bard is poet Robert Burns.

Okay, I'll be the one to say it ... imagine Donald Trump or any other GOP president making these mistakes. It would be the "potatoe" gaffe all over again, media would never let it be forgotten.

BO's speechwriter should be docked pay. Really bad errors! And yet the elites say that this man is so terribly smart. What were his grades in college and law school? What has he actually accomplished, i.e., produced? Simple: A mess of whatever he touches.

Once again the "Smartest Man in the World" flubs it big time. How can a grown up person make it to adulthood not knowing that Ireland is "The Emerald Isle" (singular) ? Especially such a sophisticated worldly fully vaccinated one? Then follow it up by quoting Shakespeare, a guy from a country that they have not always had a smooth relationship with. Does he not know about the great scholars and poets of Scotland? Did even watch Braveheart? He IS NOT a smart guy. He is a guy who can read what other (in this case stupid) ignoramuses write.
So, the current president passes gas loudly while speaking with members of the British royal family, and a past president doesn't know anything about the country which he is addressing (Ireland, Scotland what's the difference) BUT... Trump was the embarrassment?

So I just read this footnote in my Bible for Jude 1 talking about false teachers: "Unattached to God, you may know everything, but understand nothing."
As soon as I read that Democrats and liberals came to mind. After reading this article about Obama, I was reminded of that verse. . .

The First Putz has always had an interesting speech impediment.
I first noticed he whistles his “s’s.”
Then he had a way of saying TallyBahn.
Now we have GlassCow.
The man is beyond stupid. He’s Kamala schtoooopid.

that's as bad as "Marine Corpse"
remember that one?
and he was the United States of America's chief executive officer, twice??
but, he wasn't mine,
that didn't happen until the election of 2016 when our President was resoundingly elected.

Did anyone expect him to actually know what he is ever talking about? He is a self proclaimed US Constitutional scholar who confuses what he has read in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, he mixes words fearlessly and relentlessly about all manner of thought that he knows nothing about.

If you're foolish enought to be spending your time at COP26 summit, well, then you should have to sit around and listen to Obama's drivel. Just remember, with Obama, it's all about ME! (Obama). Bill Clinton did the same thing, but at least Bill Clinton was somewhat entertaining as opposed to Obama the dunce.

What a fitting display of his entire administration.
Shovel-ready jobs
You need to pass it so you'll know what's in it (Pelosi may have said it bet was part of his admin)
Never passing a budget of his own over 8 years

And to make things even worse, it was undoubtedly all written out on his teleprompter for him beforehand and nobody bothered to fact check it.

BO proved that, with right people in the back room, a complete cypher could be shoved down America's throat. An even more pliable Joe Biden is that much better.

I guess Obozo has gotten the attention bug. Running the country from behind the curtains is getting old, so he shows up for the Virginia election, now he's in Scotland to make another appearance.

Scratching heads?
He gives me nausea, irritable bowel syndrome, a headache and, knowing how many people agree with him, heart palpitations.
But still. He was the employee of the decade for gun stores and emergency food supplies.

You can't fully educate a half-wit. Obama may have conned the world out of millions of dollars but that makes him the equivalent of a good used-car salesman, not an intellect.

The classic blunder of Obama can be viewed on YouTube when he decided to offer a toast to the Queen of England at a formal dinner while their national anthem, God Save the Queen was playing. Classless.
