Obama may have made a major gaff in Veterans Speech this morning. (Vanity)

I might have misheard it, but is sounded as though Obama said redeployment of troops should be done in close CONFRONTATION with the commanders. Maybe he meant close consultation. It would be nice to review the actual audio on that and listen carefully. If he said confrontation it's a major Freudian slip.

I’m guessing the word was “coordination”.

Just a Freudian slip.

To the Obama voter, it's not what he says, it's the soothing sound of his voice and that it means change.

He said “close consultation with the commanders on the ground.”

So true!

Did you know Chrissy Mathews gets all tingly in his lower extremities when he hears the dulcet tones of the Obamessiah’s voice?

It just DOES things to people!

I can’t wait until he changes the world...

Obama was “evolving” his surrender now surrender forever policy.

He went from bring all troops home immediatly, to bring SOME home now and leave some and MAYBE bring the rest.

Obama is like the junior exec who is not going to make partner.

Perhaps Obama thinks the use of multiple syllable words makes him sound profound and a deep thinker. The fact that when using these words, he sometimes doesn’t know what they mean is lost on the media because it’s important that Obama comes off as smart and a deep thinker as opposed to the shallow tool of his handlers.

BTW, where has Chrissy been for the past 3 weeks? First they said he was on vacation, then he came back last Monday, and then he was gone again. Has he decided to run for the Senate after all?
