Obama Celebrates "Cinco de Quattro"

May 06 2010 Published by under Cinco de Mayo, gaffe, Obama

Look, to be antiseptically fair, I almost didn’t post this because any reasonable reading of it will tell even the most ardent Obama dissenter why this gaffe was a gaffe that anybody could make but the fact that it was an Obama gaffe and not the gaffe of any conservative of any name but most particularly “Bush” or “Palin” is what make the *crickets* surrounding its non-reportage noteworthy.

Obama jokes that the Latin Americans he is hosting for an event in the White House a day early for Cinco de Mayo event are there to celebrate “Cinco de Quattro” which is not only wrong, but wrong in a completely a**backwards way.  If anyone named “Bush” or “Palin” had done it you wouldn’t be trolling some middle-aged disc-jockey’s blog to see it. It would have been burned into your brain on a continuous loop on MSNBC, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC.
