wait, the idiot didn't realize that the "gulf" is the gulf of mexico, he thinks our entire shoreline is
"the gulf". aren't you guys tired yet of making excuses for this guy? I know I'm tired of hearing them.
Where were you when W was getting bashed about his IQ? were you making excuses for him then?
W was a certified idiot...his school records and his speech confirm this.

Um, no...you missed the entire point even when I tried to explain it in very basic terms. Obama doesn't think those cities are on the gulf, if you could comprehend his words and context, you would understand this. I'm really really trying to be nice about this, but sometimes bluntness works out better...when an intelligent person talks, idiots don't understand them and mis-represent what they are saying.

Hey smart guy, the OP came from the link in the OP, not from radio. You libs are all the same, always blaming someone else for dear leader's failures.

The problem is that the OP didn't provide the entire quote to give you the answer to the "partisan" question. The OP had only one goal, a quick hit piece to try to get a jab at Obama. They didn't even succeed at that because it is a simple problem of them not being able to comprehend what he said. But Glenn Beck, Hannity, and Limbaugh all laughed and said how dumb Obama was, so the OP had to come to repeat it.
You can find Obama's full answer here and it addresses why simple things like infrastructure has become a partisan issue.
www.politico.com...
The short story is that they don't want to do anything that Obama supports and uses "spending" as an excuse. I say "spending" is an excuse because they have no problem throwing money into tanks that the Army says they don't even need, but will say we can't spend money on infrastructure.

(lame Obama excuse incoming in 3...2...1)
Blaming Bush are we?

This constitutes him being an idiot eh?
Because he said "The Panama" ? And because
Republicans won't vote for infrastructure even in their own backyard?
Because that'll create jobs and make Obama look better?
So out of curiosity where would George W Bush land on your
presedential idiot chart?
Bush was dumb enough to release his records, Obama isn't.
Bush didn't understand that
Let’s find a financing mechanism and let’s go ahead and fix our bridges, fix our roads, sewer systems, our ports

Wouldn't person that is the idiot be the one that thinks he is talking about the nation when he is saying the panama is being widened? Is Panama stealing land now?
And he is right infrastructure shouldn't be a partisan issue Republicans and Democrats have had control of this country for the last 150 years and they have done a crappy job. It's time for them to put their country's interest before their parties interest.
I used to like him as a person but hated his policies...now I'm just sick of him as a person, the lying, lame-ass, dumb as a rock, war mongering, conceited bastard that he is.

Nice to see a fresh take once in awhile. Keeps things interesting. Good post.
I wonder this has anything to do with it.

Yeah well the Panama Canal was given back to Panama in the 90s
Why he would be talking about it in the first place is asinine.
Meanwhile, Nicaragua wants to build its own canal. The government recently awarded a Chinese company a contract to do just that.
Yup, I ordered the Mandarin version of Rosetta Stone last week...if you can't beat'em...

Think on that one a bit.
Bush didn't understand that
Bush was being transparent. What did he really have to hide? That he was 'an idiot' (in your opinion) ?
Obama is the one that campaigned on transparency. We know what that says about him.
