‘Jack O’Malley, Where’s Jack? Martin!’: President Flubs Maryland Governor’s Name Twice in 30 Seconds

President Obama apparently has trouble remembering the names of his own allies. In a speech to the National Governors’ Association today, the President tried to acknowledge Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley for his “outstanding work” on improving college education. The results were…less than outstanding:

“Colleges have to do more. But unless all of you also do more, this problem will not get solved. It can be done, though. Jack O’Malley, where’s Jack? …Martin! Where’s Martin? Sorry.

National Journal has video of the President’s mistake:

    Ask Chicagoans Who is Jack O’Malley? He was the Republican State‘s Attorney for Cook County in the 1990’s. In 1994 O’Malley announced the indictment of first-term U.S. Rep. Mel Reynolds (D-2), who was convicted of sexual misconduct and obstruction of justice. Ahh, the cesspool that is Chicago Politics. Perhaps it’s time for Jack to run for office again and put another corrupt politican away.

    Obama is not very intelligent. He and Romney both use canned speeches and teleprompters. I like how Newt Gingrich just speaks from the heart. With Newt it is refreshing. Obama will be tripping over more than a governor’s name when he goes up against Newt Gingrich! LOL

The resulting riots will give him an excuse to declare Martial Law. If the Govenors don‘t stand up to him and aren’t backed by the populace his will save us from the anarchy of the riots and declare himself King Obama the first.

    You know, I don‘t know why people keep saying how hard it’s going be in debates with him. He won’t have a telepromter – only the “script” to say when certain subjects come up maybe — but he can’t think for himself – not really that smart either. That was all smoke and mirrors to intimidate others. Hopefully, if we have a candidate that isn’t afraid to nail him on the facts of his horrible policies, intentons for this country b/c he’s “black” (which they have used to keep negative comments being made and worked great for a long time)…..there will be no problem & in fact, just show him up for the inept fraud he is.

      Yes, get him out of his comfort zone. Then barrage him with his major fallacies with indefensible facts and let him try to defend himself. It really should be easy to do with proper preparation. Some for fun below, but if handled correctly it would be a massacre. But Republicans have shown again and again they are clueless how to control the conversation and media, always having to be reactionary and not proactive.

      Question 1) How many states in the USA?
      Question 2) How did you get a Conn. SS card?
      Question 3) When you were in Kenya until the age of 12 did you learn American history in school?
      Question 4) Your parents comminists?
      Question 5) Why did you spend over 2 million dollars hiding your records like college transcripts from the public?
      Question 6) Should the government be able to force religions to do what the government believes to be correct, even if it requires the religion to break its oath?

      NoBama has a lot of very harmful baggage now if handled properly.
