[a fool in paradise]

Maybe he misread his teleprompter...

[neodad]

Kneel before TOTUS!

[lilycicero]

LOL..thanks for clearing that up. I was second guessing myself and gave him the benefit of the doubt, but he really did say privacy...dur.

[a fool in paradise]

Must be all of those RIAA lawyers he has in his administration. Maybe he associates “piracy” with copyright violations and “privacy” with claims about internet traffic.

[BenLurkin]

Privacy, piracy.

Probably the same thing in the minds of some politicians.

[Revolting cat!]

Teleprompter typo! Spellcheck doesn’t work in such cases, as you well know.

[Red_Devil 232]

It was not really a slip of the tongue. Privacy in the US is being attacked my 0Bambi ... his brain just forgot what situation he was addressing and what audience he was talking to.

[Revolting cat!]

This is one case when we oughta forgive Hussein. After all, English is not his native language.

[DannyTN]

When privacy is outlawed, only Presidents who are ineligible to hold office will have privacy.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Maybe he meant to say “privateering”. That is, perhaps he's suggesting that the “pirates” are operating under letters of marque from the Somali government — thus making them privateers. Of course, issuing letters of marque would be an act of war.

FOX News “corrected” the transcript:

Navy Credited With Bold Rescue of U.S. Captain Held by Somali Pirates
The U.S. Navy, and particularly the SEALS, are given kudos for its successful rescue operation, but blame is still placed on the U.S. for the growth in piracy.

“I share our nation’s admiration for Captain Phillips’ courage and leadership and selfless concern for his crew and I want to be very clear that we are resolved to halt the rise of (piracy) in that region, and to achieve that goal we’re going have to continue to work with our partners to prevent future attacks and we have to continue to be prepared to confront them when they arise, we have to ensure those who commit acts of piracy are held accountable.”

[jazminerose]

It was correct the first time.

[HardStarboard]

That's not a gaffe, its a Freudian slip!! It reveals his deepseated desire to end “privacy” (ie: individual capitalism) and install socialism (no privacy-one for all, all for one utopia).

Only the few anointed ones will have privacy.

[repentant_pundit]

halt the rise of (piracy)

Even if he had gotten the P-word correct, the key word here may be "rise".

The Obamunnist is only concerned about the rise of piracy.

Evidently he believes a certain baseline level of piracy is healthy.

[Syncro]

And with Obama, less prone to the trip of the tongue [than Bush--ed]

Oh I don't think so.

Every uh and ah is and was a trip of the tongue, not to mention the plenthera of actual mistatements and lies.

This author just had to get a Bush bash in.

[cricket]

Sharia demands 'twenty lashes for TOTUS'; who apparently never learns!

Whatever. . .Obama slips; Freud winks. MSM blinks; and zips their lips.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Still hanging on to their BDS I see...

[rvoitier]

And that was WITH his binky (teleprompter).
