    This guy says a lot of stupid stuff.

    The "who let the dogs out?" comment was the worst, but this is also quite an embarrassment for Mitt.

    He mocks the cookies he was given free as 7-Eleven store cookies which actually came for a local "ins ution", the extremely popular Bethel Bakery.

    "We wanted him to be welcomed with the best in the burg, and he had no idea, this guy has no idea how beloved this ins ution is that provided these cookies,” Bethel Bakery owner John Walsh said in an interview with ABC affiliate WTAE-TV out of Pittsburgh.

    The ass grab thing was also quite awkward to watch.

    Are we really going to go down this road again.

    Barack Obama has already surpassed W. on stupid things said -- and in just 3 and a half years. Take his teleprompter away and he's a blithering idiot. 57 states, Corpse-men, Maldives; the list is pretty long.

    Not even close. That's your evidence? That's your list? But If you'd like to make W. the new metric, then you've just set yourself up, but I'll spare you the embarrassment unless you'd like me to do otherwise.

    Yeah I think W had more goof ups. This should be an understandable thing, with all the times they have to make speeches. Although Obama does use his teleprompter way more than any other president, I think.

    "When I meet with world leaders, what's striking -- whether it's in Europe or here in Asia..." -mistakenly referring to Hawaii as Asia while holding a press conference outside Honolulu, Nov. 16, 2011

    "We're the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad." —Cincinnati, OH, Sept. 22, 2011

    "One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world -- Navy Corpse-Man Christian Brossard." –mispronouncing "Corpsman" (the "ps" is silent) during a speech at the National Prayer Breakfast, Washington, D.C., Feb. 5, 2010 (The Corpsman's name is also Christopher, not Christian)

    "The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries." --Tampa, Fla., Jan. 28, 2010

    "The reforms we seek would bring greater compe ion, choice, savings and INEFFICIENCIES to our health care system." --in remarks after a health care roundtable with physicians, nurses and health care providers, Washington, D.C., July 20, 2009

    "It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in AUSTRIAN, wheeling and dealing." --confusing German for "Austrian," a language which does not exist, Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009

    His unprecendented overuse of the word "unprecedented" was noted by journalists two years ago: http://www.politico.com/news/s...
    Yet he continues to misuse and overuse the word, when he recently stated the false remark:

    “Ultimately, I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress." A n American 6th grader should know that this is precisely what the Supreme Court is appointed to do, overturn laws passed by elected legislators when the are deemed uncons utional--and this comment is from a man who claims to have taught cons utional law--really?

    "What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." --in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," which Obama quickly RETRACTED

    "I'm here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis." --speaking via satellite to the Democratic National Convention, while in Kansas City, Missouri, Aug. 25, 2008

    "Let me introduce to you the next President -- the next Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden." --slipping up while introducing Joe Biden at their first joint campaign rally, Springfield, Illinois, Aug. 23, 2008

    "Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee -- which is my committee -- a bill to call for divestment from Iran as way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don't obtain a nuclear weapon." --referring to a committee he is not on, Sderot, Israel, July 23, 2008

    "Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel's. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under a McCain...administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel's under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change." --Amman, Jordan, July 22, 2008

    "On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes -- and I see many of them in the audience here today -- our sense of patriotism is particularly strong."

    "I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go." --at a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon

    "Why can't I just eat my waffle?" --after being asked a foreign policy question by a reporter while visiting a diner in Pennsylvania"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." --explaining his troubles winning over some working-class voters"Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions." --exasperated by reporters after a news conference

    "In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed." --on a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people

    No, no. I have been practicing...I bowled a 129. It's like -- it was like Special Olympics, or something." --making an off-hand joke during an appearance on "The Tonight Show", March 19, 2009 (Obama later called the head of the Special Olympics to apologize)

    And, this isn't an exhaustive list.

    Who gives a ? How about he was a corporate raider thats rich as with a bunch of rich friends that are contributors to organizations like the ALLC that could give a about any of us because we cannot contribute enough to his election effort to be worth a squirt of piss as to policy making decisions if elected.

    We are so ed and you guys want to talk about him being awkward at times as if it matters?

    We deserve what we get.

    Did you see the clip?

    He stated that they looked too good to be homemade, and asked if they were purchased at 7-11 or the likes.

    I didn't see where he said they looked "too good" or something to that effect. Are you sure you didn't make that part up?

    And I'm still waiting for your evidence, Yoni. Nothing you've posted has been anything other than misspoken words or phrases - not evidence that he is socially awkward. The fact that you cling to the 57 state thing enough to post it twice though is just more evidence of how desperate you are to convince yourself otherwise.

    He was ing engaged in a bit of good-hearted teasing. The left will literally latch on to any shred of hope they can make the opposition candidate look bad.

    These candidates know, when they're on the campaign trail, that people spend days preparing for their visits...putting their best forward for the candidates to enjoy. Romney knew those cookies didn't come from 7-11 -- Unless of course, he would have been at a campaign event at Southland Corps. headquarters then, he would have wondered if the cookies came from Buccee's.

    He was ribbing the woman.

    Have you ever had a friend (assuming you have those) buy a new toy and show it off to you? For instance, a new HD flat screen television. And you say something to the effect of, "Hey, I thought you were getting a high def television?"

    Seriously.
