Here a gaffe, there a gaffe.

You know how President Bush was mocked by the mainstream media and late night comedians mercilessly because he would fumble a line during a speech or mispronounce a word here or there? If you believed Chris Mathews and Jon Stewart, President Bush did this all the time and it was a sign that he was stupid.

Never mind that President Bush's slips were infrequent. Never mind that he made no more verbal mistakes than any other public figure. Never mind that his mistakes were played over and over and over again by a media anxious to make President Bush look like an idiot. Never mind all that because the former president has nothing on President Obama when it comes to gaffes.

Just go to YouTube and type in "obama gaffes" and you'll be deluged with videos of the current president and his endless gaffes. They mostly come in three flavors:

1. Innocent errors - Innocent mistakes are ones anyone can make. Like referring to Rapid City as Grand Rapids as he did when he was campaigning last year. No biggie, right? Right. Except if it were President Bush that said it, the media would have played it over and over again and mocked Bush for being out of touch or something.

2. Factual errors - President Obama makes a lot of these. Claiming President Kennedy's meeting with Soviet leader Khruschev averted disaster during the Cuban Missile crisis (when in fact Kennedy's meeting led to the crisis) is just one of many There is no excuse for historical ignorance from a president of the US. President Bush did not make mistakes like this. President Bush was far, far more historically literate than President Obama is.

3. WTF?!? errors - These are ones that simply leave me--and should leave you--dumbfounded. Powerline commented on a recent gaffe that, frankly, left me stunned. This one is simply bizarre and, if the media reported on it, would make President Obama look like a moron.

And what the hell is the deal with the teleprompter? Barack Obama takes it with him everywhere. If President Bush used a teleprompter half as much as President Obama does, he would have been ridiculed endlessly.

Good gravy, folks!

My point here is not to mock President Obama for his gaffes (though his historical ignorance is troubling). Rather, I am trying to illustrate how biased the media is: They hated President Bush so they would grab onto the smallest thing to make him loo bad; they love President Obama and will purposely avoid making him look bad. George W. Bush is a smart guy. So is President Obama. They, like everyone who gives a lot of public speeches, will make mistakes. It doesn't mean they're stupid or incompetent (President Obama may be incompetent but it has nothing to do with verbal gaffes), it simply means they are human.

Yes, Barack Obama is human.
