I would have put #8 at the top myself, but cringe-inducing all.

I can't tell - what's going on on the last one?

Top Ten Obama Moments:

10....

Oh, yeah. He hasn't done anything yet.

@1: he spits on the ground. It's pretty quick.

It's fun to laugh but that fucking piece of shit ruined our country. As did all the fools and cowards that voted for him.

Poster Girl - You Rock!

We can't look back, we have to look forward. Still waiting for second coming: He's not in office, but he already has accomplished more in world peace than Bush did in 8 years... The tension is disappating!

Those are really not that bad. Most of them weren't even really his fault. (Did some stagehand not open the door?)

Check out Slate's top 25 bushisms, those are much funnier and make him sound like much more of an idiot than these.

It would be harder to put together 10 moments from the past 8 years where he doesn't look like a complete tool.

No "tribal soveriegnty" moment? I think that was one of his best.

PosterGirl -- I'm with you, but blaming the US' problems on Bush is akin to blaming Disney's problems on Mickey Mouse.

and the republicans tried to apply the nickname "Bubba" to Clinton. Wow, at least starting next week there will be someone with intelligence in the White House again.

He will go down in history for his: "Fool me once... shame on... shame on you... get fooled, won't get fooled again."

Actually I think this is the correct quote: "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

lol Fool me another time and I get fooled all over into a little ball of fooled me puddin'. Wow! If Miss South Carolina and GWB mated can you imagine what a great speaking monkey we would get?!?

I know it's Letterman's "Top 10" list, but there are so many... so many...
