Who is infallible: President Obama, President Bush, Jr., the Pope of Rome, or his Holiness, the Dalai Lama? Your view?

No human is infallible. But I'm at least sure the Dalai Lama is a good person, while Bush and Benedict are a**holes and Obama is a liar.

No one. Even the Dalai Lama practices a caste system where his Lama group are essentially the aristocracy while those under them are the peasants who live in less than nice conditions.

It's easy to be that happy and come up with stupid sayings when you've been raised up as a god incarnate. I'd like to see him after working a year at any day job.

Lord Obama is never wrong. Just ask him and he will tell you. He also reads from the teleprompter without error.

Yay for minor improvements from the previous generation. Maybe next time we can get one that has the reading comprehension skills of a 10th grader!


....nah, we'll never be that lucky.

I seem to recall Obama saying "I screwed up" after some scandal involving one of his appointees. This is in contrast to Bush, who was unable to admit error.

It means someone who can't be wrong or fail.

All of the above, especially when they disagree or claim any of the other sources fallible.
