AP Admits Covering Up Obama's 'Gulf' Gaffe

During his Wednesday appearance on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show,' President Obama made three factual gaffes; one of them involved the claim that cities not found along the Gulf of Mexico are. Were Obama a Republican, these gaffes would have led news coverage for the next forty-eight hours. Not only did most of the media ignore or downplay these gaffes; the Associated Press went so far as to cover one of them up.

If there is ever another Civil war, the first people take out should be the journalists.

If history does repeat itself, then you won't have to take out most journalist because the Lefties will do that for you.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation has 57 members, 56 of which are classed by the United Nations as member states.

I don't care what Snopes says about Obama's gaffe, how do they know what his brain was thinking. Like when he said "Muslim" instead of "Christian" only to have George Steppenalloverus correct him.

He thinks like a Muzzie, because he is a Muzzie and was raised as a Muzzie.

When speaking without a teleprompter, Obama tends to put forth his own thoughts and ideas. He is not nearly as bright as Big Media would have the citizens believe. I am sure he thought he was being ‘truthy’.

Truer words were never spoken!

What isn’t a frivolous triviality with this president? That’s his most common defense put forth on this site by supposed conservatives who defend him.

It isn't just for Obama. Quayle was ridiculed forever because he used an archaic spelling for "potato."

And that spelling of it was on a flash card provided to him by the class's teacher. Had the student been using that particular flash card during his classes, he probably would have spelled it as it was printed.

The union teacher set up the means for the leftist press to denigrate and ridicule Quayle for years to come. Coincidence? I think not.

You're trying to 'turn a phrase' but it's not working. The issue is frivolous and only noteworthy because a the AP may not have done that for a conservative. But Obama is not a frivolous triviality -- not while he's actively dismantling the preeminence of the U.S, ignoring the constitution, putting global issues ahead of U.S needs and using his office as a political tool to destroy the conservative movement.

Your phrase originally, not mine.

Coincidence? I think not.

Somewhere around here I have a dictionary from my grandmother's era that allowed the "potatoe" spelling. To this day I have never heard anyone other than comedians and newsies...both equally illiterate...who have said potatoe is wrong. Indeed, they never said it was wrong. They just ridiculed Quayle for spelling it that way.

I don't care if it was a cue card or anything else. In Quayle's day it was correct in any spelling bee. Likely so today, too.

Any of that teacher's students who spelled it Quayle's way day would have been correct.

I bet Quayle knows we have a Marine Corps and not a Marine Corpse. He knows the United States consists of 50 states and not 57.

He knows Jacksonville is on the Atlantic side of Florida and not the Gulf Coast.

I bet Quayle can give an understandable speech without having to read a teleprompter.

Great Caesar's Ghost! If the broadcast media treated Democrats the same way it treats Republicans there wouldn't be ANY time for news in a half hour news slot...so many are Democrat gaffes. And Quayle's wasn't even a real gaffe.

Wow, you’re out in left field.

That’s a non sequitur to go with yours.

Glenn Beck must have been reading our Freeps.

The day after we ping each other about a GaffeObama app, Beck devotes most of his radio show today to OweBowMao’s inanities and idiocies.

One could tape the show and make an app out of it.

[MeshugeMikey]

I wish I could get Beck on the radio these days.

I miss hearing his show.

speaking of gaffes brings to mind bald face truths that sometimes get skipped over...like obama’s Fundamental Change....statement of a few years ago. This came to mind to be followed by CLINTONS stating that “theyre our plances now”.....during a military flyover in DC just after he was elected, Now In retrospect that seems really outlandish

[MeshugeMikey]

"Obama is not a frivolous triviality "

his communications...on the other hand...when he's speaking off the cuff truly are outlandishy frivolous ..simply because he's too PREOCCUPIED to be able to think clearly.

for all the bluff and arrogance he's really rather insure of himself
