Obama Quotes: See if You Can Tell Which are Real and Which are Fake

President Obama has been full of plenty of gaffes, but lets see if you can spot his worst ones. Note: Quotation marks represent exact quotes, while single apostrophes represent paraphrasing (or, in other words, I couldn't find the exact quote on the internet).

1. "Americans must realize that they must sacrifice wants in order to truly succeed in the future."

2. 'If you pass my stimulus bill, unemployment will not rise above eight percent.'

3. 'What I really enjoy is inter-league play in baseball; because of it, the Yankees and Red Sox can renew their rivalry.'

4. "Jimmy Carter has had the best foreign policy in the last forty years."

5. “I do think that there’s a different quality to what used to be Cominskey Field vs. Wrigley”

6. 'There are no earmarks in the stimulus bill.'

7. "Israel must realize that there are two powers that claim ownership in Jerusalem, and neither is more justified than the other."

8. "I will cut taxes... for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class."

9. "In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world."

10. "Yoko Ono is the best thing to ever happen to the Beatles."



1. Fake. I seriously doubt Pres. Obama would ever say normal people will have to sacrifice anything. Rather, the rich will, and the middle and lower classes will live in paradise.

2. Real. Though touted as a "lie" by liberal commentators, the quote has been referenced by the Huffington Post and NPR, two news organizations that are all but conservative.

3. Fake. No, the President doesn't know that much about baseball, but I hope he knows that the Yanks and Nation are in the same league.

4. Fake. Or, at least, God I hope its fake.

5. Real. I'm sure all of the White Sox fans out there love the fact that President Obama got both names wrong of the old Chicago stadium, Comiskey Park, not Cominskey (extra n) Field. Oh, and Obama says he's a die-hard White Sox fan.

6. Real. Yeah, you should probably vomit after hearing that one. The Prez made that comment all the way back on February 9, and there have been over a billion dollars worth of pork since.

7. Fake. Though he hasn't said this particularly, the Commander in Chief has come scarily close.

8. Real. Yup, a campaign promise I'm sure you're familiar with, one that will almost definitely be broken to pay for the President's planned health care, stimulus, and stimulus 2.

9. Real. Chalk one more up for mean ol' America ruining everybody's life. I could just imagine how great the world would be without us.

10. Fake. I just added that one because no one could believe that. Not even Yoko Ono.

Joe's Lock of the Week

With all of the news coming from the wide world of sports, Dr. Joe has decided to put his mind at work again to earn you lots of valuable cash. So don't spend that alone time with your wife or kids, but instead go to the local sports bar and bet on Dr. Joe's prescription for brokeness.

This week's pick:
Alex RodriguezWith the shocking news coming out of the baseball about Alex Rodriguez taking steroids, we must realize what this means. Alex Rodriguez is going to be a much better player while on steroids! In 2002, he hit 57 smackers. Now that we know he's taking the juice, we can reasonably expect that he will hit at least 80 home runs a season.With him hitting 85 dingers in the middle of the Yankees lineup, we can expect the Yankees to win at least 140 games. This is even if Andy Pettite loses both of his arms and CC Sabathia's legs break from his girth. My prediction is that the A-Rod will hit 88 home runs by the All Star Break, and may wind up with 300 RBIs.Impossible, you say? It is now widely reported that Rodriguez is able to crush a piece of coal into a diamond. And yes, that makes him even richer. Perhaps he can use this diamond to give to that fox Madonna. Grrrowl.

So put all of your beans on this hot rod. Expect a lot, and make sure to not piss him off. He's been taking enough juice to make Gandhi rip your throat out.

50 beans!

Yanks Nab AL East with Teixeira

As I'm sure just about everyone in North America has heard by now, the Yankees made history by signing Mark Teixeira to a massive 8-year $180 million deal. This tremendous deal may be too much for the guy, but it cements another dangerous bat in the lineup. In addition, the Yankees gain a good fielder and prevent him from going to the Angels.

With Sabathia and Burnett in the rotation, the Yankees have essentially created a lock on the AL East in 2009. Only one more piece could be necessary to cement it. With Manny Ramirez and Ben Sheets still on the market, the Yanks picking up either would further bolster the team. Their lineup still lacks a little power, and Ramirez in the lineup would provide both power and contact. Unfortunately, Manny's immense ego and drama may get in the way of winning games. Not to mention a possible clash of personalities between him and A-Rod.

First, the Yankees must remember that pitching is the foundation of a great team. They've signed two of the best starters in the game today but should shore up the rest of the rotation. Wang could be hurt and Chamberlain is a question mark. Either re-signing Pettitte or signing the injury-prone Sheets could provide some comfort.

But the Red Sox need to be wary. There's a new (old) team in town.

Yankees to Nab Sabathia

Word has it that the New York Yankees have agreed to sign ace pitcher C.C. Sabathia to a $160 million, seven-year deal. This comes just a day after the Mets signed star closer Francisco Rodriguez to a three-year deal.

While this signing clearly boosts the Yankees, the Bombers have enough cracks in the armor to proclaim them world champions just yet. With word that Pettitte may not resign and with Mussina retiring, the pitching staff is weak.

However, there is word that the Yankees are also interested in Ben Sheets AND A.J. Burnett. If the Yankees were able to grab both of them, then they have a very good pitching staff, which could blow Boston out of the water.

The next question is if the Yankees are going to make a serious play towards Manny Ramirez, which would not only bloat their budget, but signed in tandem with three very good pitchers, would probably give them the AL East title in 2009.
