“The reason nobody caught the “corp-ses” mispronunciation is because Rahm, Axelrod et al HATE the military and couldn’t care less!”
As pres—ent he could have at least “axed” the military how to say it correctly.
Did you listen to the clip in the post I linked to? He says it twice within the space of about one minute, and then says it again about 30 seconds later.
Yes, I did hear the Commander in Chief of the U.S. Military mis-pronounce a common military term three times. Plus, he couldn’t even get the name of the corpsman correct.
Don’t have speakers on my laptop.
Whoops! Didn’t realize the computer was logged in to FR under my husband’s account. The two comments above ostensibly by” Speaks” are in fact by me, Stoutcat. As is this one, come to think of it.
Sorry about that.
he was groomed for this gig many years ago by his elites. they could not afford to have anyone who was smart to take over .. they wanted full control of him ..
If one can write 2 autobiographies should they not know the English language?
Here’s an old thread about an even older booklet, written in 1938. “The Revolution Was”, talking about FDR and the new deal. It is ALL happening AGAIN. Almost rote!

The following excerpt pertains to FDR, but I believe it is the same for Obama. I obviously inserted the names Bill Ayers and Obama:
To the revolutionary this same dreary stuff was the most exciting reading in the world. It was knowledge that gave him a sense of power. One who mastered the subject to the point of excellence could be fairly sure of a livelihood by teaching and writing [BILL AYERS???], that is, by imparting it to others, and meanwhile dream of passing at a single leap from this mean obscurity to the prestige of one who assists in the manipulation of great happenings; while one who mastered it to the point of genius that one might dream of becoming himself the next Lenin....
This revolutionary elite was nothing you could define as a party. It had no name, no habitat, no rigid line. The only party was the Communist Party, and it was included, but its attack was too obvious and its proletarianism too crude, and moreover, it was under the stigma of not belonging. Nobody could say that about the elite above. It did belong, it was eminently respectable, and it knew the American scene. What it represented was a quantity of bitter intellectual radicalism infiltrated from the top downward as a doctorhood of professors, writers, critics, analysts, advisers, administators, directors of research, and so on a prepared revolutionary intelligence in spectacles. There was no plan to begin with. But there was a shibboleth that united them all: “Capitalism is finished.” There was one idea in which all differences could be resolved, namely, the idea of a transfer of power. For that a united front; after that, anything. And the wine of communion was a passion to play upon history with a scientific revolutionary technic.
The prestige of the elite was natural for many reasons; but it rested also upon one practical consideration. When the opportunity came a Gracchus would be needed [OBAMA!!]. The elite could produce one. And that was something the Communist Party could not hope to do.

From Wikipedia: Tiberius Grasshus was born in 168 BC; he was the son of Tiberius Gracchus Major and Cornelia Africana. The Gracchi were one of the most politically connected families of Rome. As a plebeian tribune, he caused political turmoil in the Republic by his attempts to legislate agrarian reforms. Tiberius’ political ideals, compounded with a gesture that was perceived as a request for a crown, eventually led to his death at the hands of supporters of the conservative faction (Optimates) of the Roman Senate.
As a christian I trust in the Lord. I believe with all my heart that God is going to use these difficult times we are entering into to sift the wheat from the chaff. We all need now to grow our faith in the Lord, stand on that faith.
Things will get much worse before they start to get better.
Obama and his puppet master, George Soros intend to completely destroy the United States. The purpose of which is to build the one world marxist gubmint upon the ashes.
Actually he said that they had been in 57, were not going to 2 and had one left. that makes it a total of 60.
Our forefathers tried to idiot proof the laws and procedures of who and what our presidents were to be.
This is what happens when those laws are ignored or rejected.
For America to remain strong and free we must adhere to our Constitution.
And forever more never allow a president elect to take office if that person has questionable loyalties from not being a natural born citizen. Or dual citizenship.
Whoa! That’s some heavy stuff. And you’re right, it does seem peculiarly applicable to today’s situation. That’s frightening.
Bush was evil, but at least his team wanted a World Gubmint where the U.S. was at the helm. Obama/Soros evision a Post American Marxist World.
The notable thing about a science or engineering-based education - as opposed to one based on the humanities, at least these days - is that you learn that there are absolute truths. 1 + 1 = 2 no matter what 2 thinks of that. And even if you hire all minority or female engineers and buy a ton of carbon offsets and make sure that no one feels oppresses or harassed, if you don’t use the right steel in a bridge it falls down.
Not sure if you read the rest of the booklet at the link. It is a bit long, but I’ll go back and read it pieces at a time still. EVERY time I read something and go “this is JUST like what Obama is doing”. (Demonizing bankers, having the government taking over business, etc.)
