Obama and his "Corpsman" comments (compare, Illinois, troops)

[CSG]

Hopefully, we'll start hearing less from the lapdog MSM and the Obamaites how brilliant and what a wonderful public speaker he is because he isn't. His gaffes are showing the world what a buffoon some of you elected. This is why so many of us were so against the idea of affirmative action; it elevates people into positions they are ill suited for.

Potatoes are not prepared to go into battle and assess the wounded.

3 times, he said it 3 times.

Unless you use a word like "corpsman" in your every day life, you are not likely to know it's pronunciation.

Only in the English language would we spell a word so completely different than it is pronounced.

When I first read this thread title, I said to myself "corps - man".

I rarely ever see the word myself.

Then after looking at it a bit more, I realized it was "core-man".

Like someone previously said, Obama wasn't in the military, so he likely did not see that word written much in his past.

And now as Commander in Chief, he probably doesn't see it written that often either, since he deals mostly with higher ranking officers.

And who knows how often it comes up when he visits troops?

Obama's mis-pronunciation is nothing compared to the typical Bush vocabulary where he used made up words, like "mis-underestimated".

It's interesting that so many leftist and rabid Obama supporters come from a completely failed state - California. Is this what we have to look forward to for the whole country with the bright minds or the electorate that have elected the loony local, state, and federal representatives and then lecture us on Obama's brilliance?

And who has been governor of California for the past 6 years? A Republican.

But please feel free to make assumptions about Californians as you wish.

Also keep in mind that California was hit the hardest hit state from a global-wide recession whose origins began while Republicans were running the country !!!

Again, the purse strings are controlled by the legislature in California and Arnold is hardly representative of a republican in any event. Take your blinders off. I lived in California for over 35 years and watched a steady decline starting during the "free speech" movement in Berkeley. I was involved in law enforcement and finance . You just have no credibility with your comments as you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. But don't let that stop you from embarrassing yourself on a public forum.

Obama "knew" he was going to speak at the prayer breakfast and honor mention the Navy Corpsman.

Didn't he know?

So now he's incompetent when specifically referring to military rank?

Not once - not twice - three times.

seriously? You've never seen a war movie either? are you also just now noticing that the English we speak in the U.S. is the most difficult language in the world to learn? I guess this means the guy also had a hella hard time learning how to count to ten? I mean those words are nearly impossible to figure out...

hit hardest because of their own stupidity and greed. Nobody, except a PRC resident, feels sorry for california. You reap what you sew and that's sew as in so, not sue. That was another über (pronounced oober for the linguistically challenged PRC residents) complicated one there...

when will people learn that making excuses for others actually brings both down to the same level?

I'm guessing the market had a shortage of full length straws today?
