UPDATE to add this awesome image:
You see…this is what happens when:
- You let other people write all of your words for you, and you merely read them from a teleprompter. You're bound to not know what some of those words mean, or how they are pronounced.
- A man with more disdain for than knowledge of our Military is elected to be their Commander in Chief.
He didn’t mispronounce corpsman just once, but twice. UPDATE: Oh hell…listening to the entire speech, he said it three times. As John at Power Line notes:
What is significant about this is that "corpsman" is a military term. Obama knows little or nothing about the military; it is as though he said "col-o-nel" instead of "kernel." There are corpsmen stationed in the White House, but, after more than a year, Obama apparently doesn’t know who they are, what they do, or how to pronounce their job.
And this is the guy that the Left claims is the smartest man EVAH!? Learning to properly say Pahkeestahn and Tahleebahn was important to him, why wasn't this? What an abysmal embarrassment. God forbid he actually ever needs one of those corpse-men that he so disdains to save his life. ___________ OTHERS: Neo-neocon:
Obama’s “Corpsman,” however, is a far more idiosyncratic blunder. Although a small one, it is not entirely trivial, because it is almost perfectly emblematic of some of the deeper divisions between left and right. Perhaps Obama’s supporters might even consider it to be a badge of honor, because it is evidence of Obama’s career in academia—his bookishness rather than his real-life experience—as well as his ignorance of all things military. These are traits shared (and in some ways admired) by many in the left.

Wow. I am less shocked by this than I probably should be – but it still just proves AGAIN the deep ignorance sitting in the White House.
I checked the TOTUS blog, and this is apparently still unnoticed as a mistake, either by TOTUS or the reader.
When W flubbed a word, we not only heard about it, we are still hearing about it. With the LSM, Øbummer never ever makes a flub or faux pas. According to the LSM template Øbummer is the most intelligent creature to ever exist, even while there is no evidence to support that contention. Based on previous examples to this one, I came to the conclusion that Øbummer is about as bright as a 40W incandescent light bulb in deep space, but now I believe I may have been too generous.
This couldn’t have been a flub, this had to be intentional.
Just wait…
In order to prevent from being “wrong,” Obama will issue an executive order as CIC that the Marine Corps (and US Army Corps of Engineers) are now officially pronounced “corpse.”
Therefore, Obama isn’t wrong…the rest of us are.
Of course, that would show us for the rubes he believes we all are.
So, will the Army Corps of Engineers become the Army Engineers of Corpses, or will they all become corpses?
If Øbummer would refer to the Towliebans as Marines Corpses, that would be fine with me.
In other news, I hate knowing that I’m more capable and qualified to be POTUS than the guy currently holding that title.
As Yakov Smirnoff always says(or is it Ø), “America…what a country.”
I am just waiting for the day he pulls a “go fuck yourself, San Diego,” a la Ron Burgundy.
Had to google that reference, I had never heard of this movie.
Where is Kelly Bundy when we need her?
Does the Gasbag even Know how he showed his ass by pronouncing corpsman wrong ?
Worse….would he even care ?
I don’t think he would which makes him even more pathetic.
Ah, a blog by a professional writer, and I was able to find a grammatical error in less than two minutes.
And yes, I used restraint in not putting parentheses around “professional”.
Ah, trolling by someone who claims to be an adult. However, the subject of this thread is what a gasbag Obama is.
Dear Dino — because I have a full time job, yes as a Professional Technical Writer, writing about technology so advanced that a “basic” user’s manual is a little over 800 pages — I don’t spend much time editing my posts.
Yeah, I know I should. But I don’t. I simply sit down and hammer out my thoughts in free form. Typos happen. Poor sentence structure happens. Bad grammar is inevitable.
So be it. If I were a professional blogger, dependent on this blog for my livelihood, I’d take more care as I’d have more time to devote to it.
Which is a long way to say, “Go fuck yourself you pathetic piece of shit.”
