The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

'Obama is famous for saying 'don't underestimate Joe's ability to eff things up.'

No. Obama is NOT famous for saying that. And in fact, there is no proof at all that Obama ever did say that. Snopes looked into this back in 2022, and concluded:

"The quote in question was published by a credible news organization, but was said to have come from an anonymous source, only identified as a "Democrat," who claimed to have heard Obama make the remark. With no way for us to confirm the veracity of the quote, we have rated this claim as "Unproven." "
