When Jay Carney went on O’Reilly after the speech, he said Obama was asking the people in Congress to put party ahead of country. Obviously Carney meant to say the opposite, but O’Reilly didn’t notice his mistake.

Brian Birdnow adds:

Brian is wrong about that. Land Grant colleges started in 1862 when Lincoln signed the Morrill bill.

The transcript on the PBS site was changed a while ago.

This is the same media that excoriated Bachmann for mixing up Elvis’s b-day and date of death.

Working for PBS should be considered a badge of shame.

I just don't see an of this "gotcha" crap as being worth our time.

If I were to ask "who is the politician you would trust your future: your savings, your investments and your family to?

What would your answer be?

Just a little clarification. The GOP kind of flared up around the midwest but the first “official” meeting took place in Ripon.

The February 1854 meeting (in Ripon) was the first political meeting of the group that would become the Republican Party. The first meeting by a group that called itself “Republican” took place later in 1854 in Jackson, Michigan. Both cities, along with Exeter, New Hampshire and Crawfordsville, Iowa, bill themselves as the “Birthplace of the Republican Party,” however, Jackson is most often associated with this idea, as the event taking place was the first official Republican Party meeting.

Obama’s gaffes are forgivable.

It is all the other stuff he says that is unforgivable.

If they could ‘seal’ his speeches - as easily as everything else in his past - they would .

The slavery issue was much of a foundational issue for the nascent Republican Party. To give BHO a bit of a break (for the first and likely only time), possibly that translated into Lincoln being a founder.

Someone should tell Obama’s speech writers that John Freemong (The Pathfinder) ran for President as Republican in 1856.
