His "swamp rabbit" moment?

The title of this post hearkens back to those thrilling days of yesteryear in the Carter Administration, when our clueless Commander-in-Chief told a bunch of his staff he'd been attacked by a rabbit while fishing. Here's an article to refresh your memory if it's hard to recall; http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/950/what-was-the-deal-with-jimmy-carter-and-the-killer-rabbit

They didn't believe him (What kind of man is prey for bunnies? Even Pee Wee Herman hasn't had that happen.) so he insisted on showing them the pictures another staff member had made of the event.

How clueless do you have to be to not only relate an incident like that, but insist on showing the proof? Well anyone who lived through those years doesn't need further explanation. If you don't recall Carter's single term in office you can count yourself lucky.

Evidently B.O. has now shown an equal lack of appreciation for doing dumb things in the public eye. He's given a speech to a 6th grade class in Virginia while using a teleprompter. I kid you not, here is the link; http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/slideshow/photo//100119/480/9131bc77c7534185bdbf267bb4ab8497/
I originally came across the item at the Goomba News Network, but discounted it as a photoshop job. Now Drudge is carrying it and Drudge doesn't play those games. The story claims the photo is taken when he speaks to the media after talking to the kids. Noted. How often did G.W. Bush talk to reporters after a school visit? Even if it's true, who needs a scripted response for times like that? At the very least we've a Commander-in-Chief who is always ready to read the cue cards. Disturbing.

So has B.O. had an event similar to Carter's swamp rabbit episode, has he shown himself so inept and naive there is no realization how pathetic a grown man looks giving a speech to junior high students and relying on a teleprompter to do it?

No matter how you slice it, what a fool!
