And It’s Already Begun . . .

The “you never know what he’s going to say” thing, that is:
Obama Misspeaks, Calls Biden ‘The Next President’; Biden Calls Obama ‘Barack America’
UPDATE
[W]hat was particularly (if unintentionally) humorous was Biden using the phrase “literally” at least seven different times — including several times when Biden meant to say figuratively. For example, Biden said we have an opportunity “literally to change the direction of the world.” Really? Is Obama so all-powerful that he can actually make the world travel in a different direction? We also learned that on day one in the Senate Obama “literally” reached across the aisle and passed legislation to secure the world’s deadliest weapons? Wow; Obama not only figuratively but literally reached across the aisle and, on day one, passed legislation? That would be impressive. It would also be impossible.
The Barack America gaffe was pretty hilarious….and slightly awkward.
And it’s a new one too. Not like those mixing-up-his-name-with-somebody-else’s ones.
And speaking of “literally” being used incorrectly, I remember reading this article where someone point out someone else’s saying that a third someone had “literally exploded onto the scene.”
Look how often that phrase is used on teh interwebs.
Looks like McCain’s got some competition in the old-man gaffe department. He better watch out. Before we know it the whole election will be based on who made more gaffe’s and which one’s were worse. ;P
