The Comb Is Finer Than It Used To Be

Say Uncle is not worried yet but is a bit concerned about the growing number of gaffes made by Barack Obama:

Dude, as a politician, the memory must match the tape. Period. It’s a good thing you didn’t misspell potato(e) or your career would be over. I can’t decide if I really care so much about these gaffes. I mean, they guy campaigns like 20 hours a day and has been doing it a while. He could be tired. If there’s something more to it than that, I might be worried since, you know, if he wins he’ll be the guy with the button.

Is Obama really any more gaffe prone or Bush any more inarticulate than leaders in our past or are there just simply a lot more eyeballs on these politicians every move more hours in a day.

Most people, if filmed 19 to 20 hours a day, are gonna say something stupid or inarticulate eventually, yes?
