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:

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

This is yet ANOTHER example of how out of touch the Nanny in Chief and his administration are. How pathetic.

The good news?……….There are only 1445 days until a different dictator gets sworn in.

  She is going to Aspen to ski, which means double security, travel, lodging, etc., costs. Not to mention both their entourages.
  
  They were in Hawaii for 20 days, and just got back on January 6!
  
  She is probably thinking, “Thank God, finally!! I am so sick of baby-sitting that wimpy idiot, I never want to see him AGAIN!”
  
  Plus now the big public appearance and photo whore cluster is taking a brief hiatus, so she can get back to her bacon-wrapped ribs until the next Hollywood makeover time.

So everu time they throw the watersip[ up.. throw that up.. except Obama will be free of blame… he didn’t write it.. even though his agent did. I believe in business law your “agent” =you. But with a fraud that doesn’t believe in the rule of law I guess that is a moot point.

No surprise here. Just like his administration is running the country – one mistake after another.

Is, let’s say, Katoko a female name or a male name? Those who lived in Japan know that “ko” (“child”) is a female names ending. Others most likely don’t know.
Our Administration can’t even distinguish between $$Billions and $$$Trillions.
So, how on Earth they can know that the President-elect of South Korea is a woman?
They don’t read Korean and even if they did, they wouldn’t understand. And the Korean faces, as our Administration most likely believes, are all similar… And the American ambassador was probably drunk and didn’t send a proper warning to the WH. Or maybe he even didn’t know either.
So, guys, don’t be too picky. Thank God, they didn’t mix up South Korea with North Korea…yet.

  In another universe, there is this thing called “a job.”
  
  Some people work REALLY hard to qualify for these crazy things by educating themselves, getting training, copying the habits of the successful, and pushing to be better.
  
  Should they be lucky enough to actually GET one of these nutty “job” things, they are expected to show up every morning, get things right, make their bosses and co-workers look good, and prove their competence.
  
  Why? This OTHER crazy thing called a “PAYCHECK.”
  
  Yeah!
  
  Some people even get something called “A RAISE” if they actually DO all those things, and do them well.
  
  AND – here’s the kicker – in that alternate universe, if you DON’T do those things, you can actually LOSE that crazy job and the nice paycheck.
  
  I KNOW. CRAZY, HUH.
  
  Seriously, I wouldn’t s**t you on this one….

  @ALINSKYTHIS:
  Your reply makes me assume and deplore that you are in lack of sense of satire I used to express my disgust at our administration.

The first time I saw the movie, “Idiocracy” was just before the 2008 election.

The movie is set several hundred years in the future, and some joked it was going to be here sooner than that.

Does 2013 sound about right?

The more of “their” illiterate, ignorant, uncaring guerilla gorillas they “grandfather” into “their” newly-invented, no-work government jobs and phony 501 “charities,” the worse this is going to get – and fast.

If the White House makes a mistake, and no one in the mainstream media covers it, IT NEVER HAPPENED!

The secret to Obammy’s re-election.

Ouch, rookie mistake! Oh yeah, they’ve been there four years already. I guess its just lack of attention to detail…isn’t the first time for this administration and won’t be the last. Okay, I’ll give them a break because everyone makes mistakes. What about Benghazi??? We have not forgotten. One soul is not more important than another soul. You are not better than the next person.

Looks like another case of someone not doing their homework. But then, the Left discourages homework, doesn’t it?

In this PC world, they should have been gender-neutral and used “Its Excellency”. It’s almost as if the Obama administration is being hypocritical or something.

It isn’t idiocy, it is plain laziness and incompetence. They either used a default template, or simply cut-and-pasted the last such event, and plugged-in the names. They didn’t check whether the new president was a woman, and they didn’t even care to think that it was a “His” or “Her.” In other words, it’s just par for the course for this lackadaisical administration.

Oh well, another blunder, another big mistake, but, it doesn’t matter. One thing is so clear is how biased the mainstrem media is and how many will just look the other way.
