You could be right. I agree that he shows signs of having a petty, nasty, juvenile temperament.
And he obviously believes his own press.
Personally, I still attribute it to an utter ignorance of our military, combined with an overrated intellect that doesn’t bother to check out the correct pronunciation of the word, and a lack of any real need to do so, since the same media that crucified Bush for such gaffes gives Obama a pass on all of them.
But, I could be wrong. You could be right about that.
It’s part of a pattern. Obama’s puerile malignancy gets off on insulting people he despises by mispronouncing things related to them. Example: Palin was mayor of Wasilla. Obama pronounced it Wasilly. Yes, he’s that childish, IQ-challenged & graceless.
