Can You Figure Out the Embarrassing Mistake the White House Made in a Press Release Friday?

Feb. 15, 2013 9:53am Jonathon M. Seidl

On Friday morning, the White House sent out a press release announcing the president’s delegation to the inauguration of the newly elected president of the Republic of Korea. But there was one problem: there was a pretty embarrassing mistake.

Can you catch it?

White House

Find it?

Maybe this will help — here’s a picture of President-elect Park Geun-Hye:

Now look at the corrected version of the press release:

White House/TheBlaze

Listen, these things happen. But that doesn’t make them any less embarrassing.

I am surprised that they were able to locate a copy of the incorrect release after the Ministry of Truth issued the revised version. Your activity of releasing the prior version verges on the very defination of crimethink. If the Blaze become a “nonperson” in a few days, do not be surprised. Big Brother loves you!!

  His sticking to the story of his administration being the most open in history is all the proof you need that doublespeak is real!

  @crackerone Now you just sound stupid! If you are going to add to the discussion make thoughtful comments. I have been married to a Korean woman for 28 years and we have two great kids. Your comments do nothing for any discussion.

  Sorry I hurt your feelings. I thought the smartest administration the world has ever seen, would realize that he is a she. My bad.

Is it not racist to expect the new president of the Republic of Korea to be a male. This goes the show how the executive branch of government feels about a lady getting ahead in life. Where is NOW.

  Well, I didn’t search to far so someone may have said this already but, what if this had been Bush’s folks that did this. WOW. What a moron. No cultural sensitivity. Probably says Pack-i-stan instead of Pok-e-ston. The communists and the compliant media are not even trying to conceal their actions anymore. But, you have to be at least a little bit awake to notice and people are snoozing through a bloodless coup.

Our Government “Cannot” make mistakes! They “Cannot” be embarrassed, and ‘They’ do not care what you think, or what you say… unless ‘They’ deem it subversive and arrest you.

Progressives control, EVERYTHING! They “rule” the country, ‘They’ “rule” your life, and ‘They’ “rule” your future… there is no way to stop ‘Them’ or escape ‘Them’! Just try…. ‘They’ are waiting…

Why do we need a United Nations Command and why is one of the United States’ generals have that title placed in front of Commander of United States Forces Korea? We pay him and he is our general, not the United Nations.

  Rock, please note the Republic of Korea is SOUTH Korea not NORTH Korea. South Korea is not a communist country. Please be sure of the situation before you go throwing rocks.

So we can ‘gaffe’ the sex of a foreign leader and ‘it happens’, but get a drink of water during a 30 minute speech you’re going to give twice, and it’s an unpardonable offense indicating a lack of fitness for the job.

If the Left stopped to address their hypocrisy they would have a seizure.

  The left goes crazy over a drink of water, yet ignores that Bob Menendez is under FBI investigation for flying to the Dominican Republic on a donor’s jet, to enjoy the services of underage prostitutes. But someone taking a sip of water is SO earth shattering. I guess their Messiah never sips water…

  They are so involved in undermining our system that they can’t be bothered researching anything that is not related their cause. Crazy like foxes.
  What do they care if they step on a few toes or break a few eggs along the way.

  I’ve defended the Blaze up to this point. However, it’s almost as if they are doing it on purpose. How can you post the same story twice? How can you not see the spelling errors that jump out at you so easily? It’s like someone is wanting this site to look stupid.

I caught it! In the very first line, it says “President Barrack Obama”

  Don’t mistake them for stupid. They are so hell-bent on total control, they could not care less about the details not relevant to that. Graciousness, the dignity of the office, protocol, traditions and history are out the window.
