"...so of course I never meant to make a mistake calling our troops 'corpsemen.' The prompter, a holdover from the previous administration, had added that extra P, which really threw me. Ha ha! Imagine me, the Kick of our Armed Forces, making such a silly err... Um, the Chick of our Armed Forces... Uh, oh, I mean the C I C of our Armed Forces..."

The President brushed aside the contention that the nations Commander-in-Chief ought to be familiar with the pronunciation of this military term. Ive never been in the Navy or Marines, Obama reminded. So, Ive never followed or paid much attention to army jargon. How would I be expected to know such things?How indeed.
I have never been in any branch of the military, and yet --- *snicker* ----*choke* ---- I have known the proper pronunciation of that word since I was ummmmm probably in the fourth grade of Grammar School!
Really.
I suppose the emperor, having no clothes, has no place to hide crib sheets?
What an empty (albeit 'eloquent') empty suit!

From the charlatan/moron who thinks there are 57 states, and who claims he has created millions of jobs.And... better yet, saved tens of millions more!
Uh huh.

Hard to believe we have a POTUS that has never HEARD the word Corpsmen used in a sentence before! It doesn't seem possible.

It was just a fox paws. I think TOTUS spells that 'foe Pa' or '4 Pa' - depending on the audience.

I created, uh, millions of jobs. Yeah, millions of jobs. Its an economic paradise under the TARP and Stimulus, and, uh, Bailout, and New Tax Laws.
That’s the ticket. Sure. Absolutely.

"How was I supposed to know....."
1. Michelle had an ass the size of Godzilla?
2. Martha Coakley was a stooge?
3. You had to be an actual citizen to get this job?

Well, lets give him the ‘benefit of the doubt’.
He never did or never wanted to know the word Corpsman.
ok...
However
he has never heard of the PEACE CORPS?
Since he apparently never had a yen to join the Marine CORPS he surely must have heard of the Peace Corps.
And how in the hell can he call himself the CIC and not give a whit about the people he is supposedly Commanding?..and admitting it?
