It would appear that since being elected as the world’s messiah last November, Barack Obama has turned into Barack ‘Doh’ bama, a Homer Simpson type character.

Obama’s latest in a long line of gaffes came on Wednesday night, when he made comments about the arrest of one of his friends at a press conference - despite admitting he did not know all the facts surrounding the incident. This led to the highly embarrassing situation of Obama having to issue an apology to the police department and officer concerned, and then personally phone the police officer to apologise. After reassessing the situation Obama commented about the officer concerned "My impression of him was that he was an outstanding police officer and a good man".

The world had such high expectations of Obama, but to date he’s achieved very little aside from make himself appear like a 2009 version of Jimmy Carter.
