Shortly after Barack Obama was elected, one of his supporters, alluding to George W. Bush’s supposedly lacking intellect, said to me, “I’m just happy to have someone intelligent in the White House.”
I’m sure Rahm Emanuel would be very flattered.
Whatever you think of Bush, admittedly, his habitually knotted tongue did give birth to Bushisms, things such as “misunderestimated.” Cute. Then there are the “Yogiisms” of former baseball player and manager Yogi Berra, pronouncements such as “I think I made the wrong mistake,” which in a sense makes sense (you can get away with some mistakes, but the fatal one will do you in). Now I’m here to tell you that Barack Obama is giving us some new "-isms," and I don’t speak of communism or even socialism. I mean the Obamanism.
Read the rest here.

I applaud another outstanding article by Selwyn Duke.
There is a more outrageous Obamaism that is frequently replayed by Nothern California's humorous talk-show hosts Armstrong & Getty.
In this sound bite, Obama is speaking to leftist TV-host and Democratic operative George Stephanopoulos and says, with clarity and without pause or hesitation, "my Muslim faith". It is Stephanopoulos that corrects him.
Scary in and of itself, but imagine the outarge if Dubya had made such an egregious faux pas?
