There are some who have taken snippets of my recent speech in Indiana that referred to Pearl Harbor and accused me of gaffing. So I will show you the statement in context so that you will see that it is not a "gaffe" as some have charged. Here is the statement:
Now, no one can dispute that a bomb fell on Pearl Harbor. In fact, as we all know, many bombs were dropped by the Germ... uhh... umm... hold on one second, I can't hear myself, by the ahh.. all right, ok, uhh, oh yeah, you know, aah... by the enemy on D-Day at Pearl Harbor. The particular single bomb type weapon that I was referring to was the one that fell on the battleship that's out there in the harbor. You know, the one with that memorial thingee on top of it. So I was correct as you can see and within the context of what I was saying, there was no, in point of fact, actual gaffe spoken or committed by me or the Oback Arama campaign.
So the media and my opponents need to stop the politics of personal destruction and fear, and start talking about the facts and substance of this campaign. We need to be talking more about change and hope and a looking at the future for our generations that will be in the future after us and our children and our children's children and our children's children's children.
That's change that works for me, and that's why Oback Arama is running for president.
