If Bush had screwed that up (twice in a matter of seconds) the bumper stickers, t-shirts, and SNL skits would have been completed by now.

Exactly—and should we take guesses as to how Mr. Tingly Leg will defend him?

I bet SNL does a skit on it…. I got a fiver that says so.

You’re on. Also, I stand to win $1,000 if Reggie Wayne catches a pass with his helmet.
I have a problem.

3.What is a corpse man?
As a Navy veteran I can answer that: The Corpsman (CORE-mun) is a medically trained techician who is capable of serving the U.S. Navy and Marines on ships and shore stations, as well as Marines in combat.
The Corpseman (CORPSE-man) is the person who has to go around the political battlefield after elections and pick up all the dead bodies of liberal politicians’ careers.

Gen. Robert E. Lee once said “It is only the ignorant that suppose themselves omniscient.” Apparently our dunce of a president never got that memo.

I think it’s kind of funny that y’all are still going on about this whole teleprompter thing less than a week after Obama just pretty much pwned Congressional Republicans completely off the top of his head.

I guess the level of ‘pwned’ is inversely relative to level of truth that came ‘completely off the top of his head.’

Anyone with any military experience would have automatically pronounced the world correctly after recognizing that it was being used in connection with the Navy. It just shows what a great disconnect this guy has with those who serve the nation. He has never given the nations defense a second thought before his current stint as resident of the White House.
“pwned” lol… l33t speak in politics. Now that’s funny. Actually, the Obamateur came of as a partisan hack in that meeting. If he went there to show how he was the new tone in DC, I’d say he failed miserably. Without Mr Teleprompter, Mr Obama tends to sneak out.

I think that with Teleprompter or not the man’s massive ego is coming to the surface. No one can tell him anything, even how to prnounce a word. I seriously doubt that there is anyone on his staff who has guts enough to tell him that he mis-pronounced the word three times in that speech. This man is, IMHO, the most arrogant man ever to serve as president. Further, if this nitwit doesn’t know how to pronounce “corpsman” (I knew how to pronounce it by the fifth grade), it shows that he knows absolutely nothing about the military of which he is CIC. God help us!

Military experience or not, corps/corpse is IIRC on elementary school spelling lists. it is not just a military term, esprit de corps, drum and bugle corps, press corps. He really should know the word and how it is pronounced. Unless of course, his teleprompter operator typed in in as corpse, just as a readership test…...now THERE is an idea…...

Oh yea….we’all got pwned. You must be the same person who misspelled ‘Massachusetts’.
How did that work out for “y’all”?

On the bright side, for a second there, I think he was actually proud to be an American. Now if that second would only last longer.

Wow. I realize that as President you don’t have to know everything, but as the Commander of the US forces - I would hope that he knows what anybody who knows even the slightest thing about the military would know how to pronounce.
I wonder if Obama knows what the difference between and Army Captain and a Navy Captain is?

@Bill
He sure does. He gets to tax the Navy O-6 more than the Army O-3.

Or if he knows the difference between “Captain” and “Cap’n”...(hint) one is cereal.

I am so tired of seeing him talk.

Let’s all be thankful for his talking, tired though we may be of it. It’s his political ineptitude that has saved us from much more action than America can survive…. his talking usually just results in a puff of hot air.

Welcome to the club… What took you so long to join?

The problem with his talking is that it seems to be followed immediately by some unconstitutional activity from the radicals in congress.

You can’t dismiss the benefit the R’s received from that little back-and-forth either. It kind of forced that “the R’s have no ideas” thing to the ground finally. Even WaPo had to cover Paul Ryan’s proposals which were scored by the CBO as deficit cutting.
Don’t watch SNL… so did corpse-man make the cut?

I have to laugh at all this dialog about the President and his dependence upon a teleprompter. Sarah Palin just got caught in her own embarrassing moment with notes written on the palm of her hand with a felt pen outlining keys points of her political agenda and then having to refer to them in an interview. Obama’s mispronunciation of “corpsman” is inexcusable but an “honest” mistake. Sarah Palin’s miscue? Well…let’s just say it gives the appearance of being dishonest. She blasts the President for being “a charismatic guy with a teleprompter” when she herself appears to be nothing more than a soccer mom with crib notes. Too damn funny. Looks like more fodder for SNL and Leno…

Careful, laker. A guy could get whiplash making a 180 degree turn within a sentence.

OMG!!! She writes on her hand!! OMG!!!
The HORRORS!!!
Seriously, if you think that is even in the same caliber as corpse-man…

@Laker: You folks kill me with this stuff. The Obamateur can barely have dinner with his family without using the teleprompter, and you think Palin was cribbing it because she wrote notes on her hand like normal people do? I rather doubt she had too much written on there… probably not close to the pages of texts that Obama’s handlers feed him on the prompter when he talks, so that he doesn’t go off and actually say what he thinks. If she is a soccer mom with crib notes then the Big O is a ventriloquists dummy.
In Barry’s defense, perhaps they should spell out the military terms phonetically for him, it IS a foreign language after all.
