If George W. Bush had done it…

It appears President Barack Obama’s teleprompter needs to spell everything out phonetically.

All terrific press for Orion, except that Obama kept pronouncing the company’s name wrong, calling it OAR-ee-on.

After finishing his remarks and talking with a few people, the president returned to the microphone and said his prepared remarks led him to pronounce the firm’s name wrong.

“I suspect this is Or-EYE-on as opposed to OAR-ee-on. Just wanted to make sure that when I’m giving you a plug, that we’ve got the right plug. It’s Or-EYE-on.”

It’s a not uncommon five-letter word. It is (was?) the name of a motion picture company. It’s one of the most recognizable constellation names.

But don’t expect this to get much press or mockery on late night. After all, that doesn’t fit the narrative.

Everyone always says, “If this had been Bush,...” or “If a conservative had said this,...”. Well hell, after a dem makes a blunder or says something stupid, a conservative should do or say the same thing. Most of the public doesn't find out about the dem’s actions until after such a chance would have been given anyway, so let the conservative do it and then point out the hypocrisy after he/she does or says exactly what the lib did.

And what main stream media outlet would you like to use for this effort?

[TheRake]

Well if my Aunt had ............... nevermind.

[Crawdad]

Don’t need them. Limbaugh, Hannity, Boortz, or Beck could handle it. Beck or Boortz would be better, since they are on early in the day. We could even do some parody posts on FR that the MSM would jump on.

This is why Rush is so successful. He doesn't let such things go unnoticed - illustrated the absurd with absurdity.

You're right - every Republican should get on TV and call it OR-REE-ON, thereby begging a journalist to correct them. Then it's easy to say, "I know how it's pronounced, but I didn't want to embarass the president and his malaprops.

In Okinawa, Orion beer is pronounced ore-ee-on.

[Kirkwood]

Actually it is o-RYE-on, so he got it wrong twice.

[stuartcr]

Or maybe even if both sides had some class, neither would make a big deal out of a mis-pronunciation!!

[Crawdad]

In my opinion, the time for “class” and “good manners” is long passed. We are playing by the left’s rules now.

[Psycho_Bunny]

On Orion IV it’s pronounced ‘Glicpicnict’.

[stuartcr]

In my opinion, it’s never too late for class and good manners.

[Always Right]

It’s one of the most recognizable constellation names.

Don't press it. I would be happy if Obama just knew how many states there are.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

It’s no longer news when the media lies, cheats and hides, to protect the One.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

I like that suggestion. Whenever a lib makes a “gaffe” a normal person should do the same thing, then say “I just didn’t want to embarass such and such lib who said the same thing”
Some normal person should start talking about the 57 states, and wait for the media to leap on him. Then, he should say, “I have it on good authority that there are 57 states: BHO”

Here is the big secret regarding Obama that no one mentions:

HE IS NOT VERY BRIGHT.

He got into Harvard because of the influence of ethnic and academic friends. He became the editor of the Harvard Law Review through charm and the leveraging of his ethnic background, but no articles with his byline can be found from that publication. He can't spell C-A-T without a teleprompter.

The Left all think they are geniuses and have nothing but contempt for those whom they view as their intellectual inferiors. So, let' start to erode his base by planting the idea in their pointy, little heads that he is not really one of them and is degrading their self-image with his lack of the requisite brainpower needed to represent them.

Let's do everything we can to spread the word: He's an empty suit... He's not the sharpest tool in the shed... He's a show pony... He's a laughable oaf.

[Troy McGreggor]

Right...the smartest man in history has never heard of Oreo’s Belt, or whatever it’s name is...some old dead cracka probably named it, anyway.

Imagine, President of Harvard Law Review. And yet he is completely unaware of the existence of Orion’s Belt, and the virtually countless references to it in literature, movies, the media, etc.

Only coke can make you inwardly fixated to that degree.

To all who say we shouldn’t pay attention to things like this, or those who say that we shouldn’t use the phrase “If Bush had done it,” well, I say to you that the media/leftists have built for me a mighty club over the last nine years, a club made of pure righteousness, and I intend to lay about me in a most brutal fashion with it at even the slightest opportunity. Everything they said Bush was, this moron IS.

[sten]

0bama’s ‘nuclear’ moment?

[stuartcr]

Hey, who am I to question a man wielding a mighty club of pure righteouness, ready to lay about with brutal fashion?
