AP Admits Covering Up Obama's 'Gulf' Gaffe
Breitbart - Big Journalism ^ | August 9, 2013 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/11/2013 5:36:12 AM PDT by don-o

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.

The cover-ups are SRO for the MSM.

“... the Associated Press went so far as to cover one of them up,” which in the world of the Democrat controlled media means the gaffes NEVER happened. The rule is simple: If the media doesn’t report something it never happened.

I remember a few years ago a few of my lib sisters chortling about Bush’s gaffes. I then informed them of Obama’s many gaffes. They were stunned...they had never heard of them before. Of course they hadn’t..thanks to Big Lib Media.

Geography, among other subjects, has never been one of Obama’s strong points. I am still trying to locate states 51 to 57.

See the Organization of Islamic states. There are 57. The ‘one more to go’ is the US.

Actually, he said "57 states with one or two more to go." So he thought there were at least 58 and maybe 59 states.

jOkeass only says things to promote a political purpose, but, I have never heard of deepening the ports on the Gulf or Atlantic coast as an issue. Is he implying that we need deeper ports to import Venezuelan oil since we are not going to get it from Canada?

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

No one has ever caught Biden doing or saying a single intelligent thing. If we had a Republican administration, we would also have a five minute comedy routine in EVERY newscast to review what Biden did that day.

Both of these clowns are utter nit wits.

Charleston, Savanna , Jacksonville where all part of the Caribbean coast complete with pirates, so it seems like a pretty weak stretch to actually call it a gaff, but they probably would have pointed it out were it a Republican.

If there is ever another Civil war, the first people take out should be the journalists.
They are the ones that are leading us into it.

Do you really think Obama knew that? He makes mistakes/gaffes constantly. The Media is so far up his rear end they cover for him without even thinking about it.

Same here, was in Georgetown with my sister and brother-in-law. . .huge libs, they only read the Compost, the Slimes and watch MSLSD . . .we walk past a restaurant called "The 51st State". . .I turn to my brother-in-law, who did nothing for 8 years but break my balls every time Bush opened his mouth. . .so I say to my brother-in-law. ."51st state?. . I thought there were 57 states?". . . .I'm waiting for my brother-in-law to react. . .nothing. . .he says, "57 states?. . .no. .there are only 50 states."

I look at him, stunned. "NO. . .NO. .YOU NEVER HEARD THE OBAMA 57 STATE GAFFE!!!???

Never heard it and as far as he was concerned. . .never happened.

Someone needs to make an App of just OweBowMao gaffs.

That’s about the only way the LIV will ever hear of them.

Might be a problem downloading them all though. Will take a lot of broadband.

What does that have to do with anything?? He specifically stated these port cities were on the Gulf of Mexico, which they most certainly are not.

But thanks anyway for setting up the false premise in order to defend your boy, Zero. Do you happen to work for AP or maybe the NYT by chance?

Whenever you are speaking with leftist a, blame the Gulf error on Sarah Palin. Allow them to jump in and mock her stupidity.

Then, send them a link to the idiot perp who spoke the words.

" . . . in the world of the Democrat controlled media means the gaffes NEVER happened. The rule is simple: If the media doesn’t report something it never happened."

It used to be that this sort of thing was an unreflective result of unacknowledged bias, but in the age of Obama - and with the rise of phenomena such as JournoList - it has become conscious and deliberate. They know what they are doing, and their attitude is, "Ha ha, there's nothing you can do about it."
