It really depends on how you view President Obama's statement did he mean the Austrian People or as suggested the non existent Austrian langauge or just a refferal to the dialect in that part of the world.Also it's about time someone suggests that America has had major flaws internally, I know a lot of folks would respond what occurred centuries ago should be laid to rest but as an African American Veteran it affects minorities on a daily basis the racism that is still existing in this great nation

well stated, I agree, the liberal,worshipping press does not report most of the trash that Nobama says, they are embarrassed to admit that they made a BIG mistake in pushing Obama and cutting the others down. Imagine them making such a big deal over Palins clothes and never a word about the dollars being spent on the designer clothes and shoes for Michelle. I am sick of hearing on the news about how Michelle is a fashion icon and that the Europeans are just worshiping her. Somehow I just don't believe that. What about the 900 people he had in his
traveling group in Europe? Wonder what that cost the taxpayers. Never a word or question about these things. Imagine that.

You are right, if this would have been Bush making this comment, it would have been all over the news, in headlines in fact.

No you and others must have a psychic investment in Bush's world and believing all the lies that were told that got us into a damn war where nothing was accomplised. Saddam Huessin did not bomb the World Trade, hit the Pentagon and all the other damage on 911, and the person who said to Bush's face tha the was responsible for all of it, he(bush) chickened out and convinced those who did not know any better that weapons of mass destruction was to blame. When are YOU PEOPLE going to wake up and realize you were pimped, gangsterd, bamboozled, tricked like a hoeby BUSH, CHENEY and RUMSFIELD to think it was a war that had to be fought. Get with it you brain washed idiots and know the facts before speaking. Obama will solve the problems of this country or get very close to doing it if you people will let him.

Well said JM.

Austrian is a language. I am from Vienna and I should know. Have you ever heard it? it's not German, it's Austrian, a Germanic language but AUSTRIAN.
Get a grip

This was not Obama's first gaffe, nor his most stupid.

Had you heard of any of these? Probably not, because the biased, liberal news media mostly spiked them. You know damn well if these gaffes had been made by George Bush or Sarah Palin, you never would've heard the end of it from the likes of Keith Olbermann, Tina Fey, Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, et al.

You are a dumb fool.Every president reads with a telepromter.It is not a gaffe.The president meant austria language.This is a president who graduated top of his class at harvard law.He gives tons of speeches everyday.
Try applying to harvard and graduating at the top of your class.
Start thinking for your self,use your brain.STOP LISTENING TO RUSH .GIVE CREDIT WHEN IT IS DUE.

I so agree the one thing that gives me great pleasure is that all these dumb asses that voted him (Obama) into office will get to suffer becausee of it

Most anyone understands that when you are part of a family, you can talk about the problems in the family but you don't go blasting the family to outsiders. Obama, the President of our country is a traitor to our country and I find that sickening, revolting, and scary. That he can so easily disrespect the country he represents just confirms that ole Rev. Wright indeed had a lot more influence on Obama's prejudices against America than Obama admitted to. I just think his comments about America are reprehensible. It makes me feel like theres a fox in the henhouse and here he is with the keys to our hen house. The way his mind works, wanting to appease everyone outside of America, means he could make some fatal errors regarding the security of our country. So many people were fooled by his charm, which will soon be fleeting, when they have to face the reality that he is all teleprompter words and no substance. Who wants a President that is not loyal to his own country? Not me.
