We realize that some of you are just too busy to keep up with all the things going on in the political world and to be honest, so are we. And when it comes to having a president named Obama every day is some kind of crisis and more often than not, it’s his mouth that has created it. So it is often necessary, when the opportunity presents itself, too stop and take a quick look back, to see what was happening in the other rings of the circus that we missed.
Enter Ed Morrissey and Hot Air, where they take the time to chronicle all the Obama-nonsense and let readers vote on which of the many choices is by far the dumbest thing that came out of DEar Leaders mouth that given week.
This weeks walk away winner with 93% of the vote so far is “If you’ve got a business. you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”
Obama, having never built anything himself might not be the best judge, but then that is what makes this so precious.
So it this kind of wisdom that has been captured and while there are now 150 weeks worth of winners–and all the entrants in between–I’ve grabbed the ones from 2012 as a prime, with links, for your Sunday evening enjoyment.
