On Friday, the nation chuckled a little when President Obama accidentally told a fainting crowd in Virginia that there were “paralegals” there to help. He instantly caught himself and correctly noted “paramedics” were there to offer aid. And now there’s video of the small flub:
Some will certainly joke that it’s a type of Freudian slip: after all, with Obamacare being upheld, the bureaucracy created might require more paralegals than paramedics. Others will bring up the inevitable: if it was George W. Bush, it would likely be a mainstream story. And still others will laugh it off.
Which one are you?

Posted on July 16, 2012 at 12:16pmWhat no one says about the spelling bee error, he was given a card with the word “Potatoe” and the instructions for judging is they had to spell it the way it was on the card. He was correct and even the people running the spelling bee said it was their mistake. But no one talks about that, instead, the perpetuate the lie.
In this case, Obama didn’t make a mistake, someone is at fault and needs to be sued…..but not him or his campaign, it’s those rich guys, their fault.

Posted on July 16, 2012 at 12:59pmAll these flubs are, of course very funny, but what I find odd is that no one ever mentions the other Hawaii goof up. He was being interviewed by, I believe it was, Chris Wallace, and he was talking about how important it is to help the states that have emergencies. I think the question had to do with his bribing the senator from Louisiana to vote for Obamacare by slipping in emergency funding that was so narrow in scope that it could only apply to Louisanna. But his response avoided the actual question and he went off talking about how important it is to help states that have an emergency like the recent earthquake in Hawaii. Problem is that the earthquake was in Haiti. (At least they both start with “H”). So, Haiti must be one of those seven states of the 57 for which there’s no star on the flag yet. Can’t help but wonder why this one is never mentioned among his misunderestimations? Or am I perhaps the only one who picked up on it?

It’s at about the 6 minute mark where he starts to talk about Louisanna, and at about 6:45 he tells us we need to help the people of Hawaii who just went thru an earthquake.
