"That's Korman."

This morning at the National Day of Prayer breakfast, our illustrious "Teleprompter in Chief" revealed, once again, his complete unfamiliarity with our military community.
Anyone with a reasonable education through the 6th grade knows the correct pronunciation of the basic word "corps" is "core," and therefore the word "corpsman" is pronounced "coreman." The Marine Corps is pronounced Marine Core. Yet our president, who touts his education at both Columbia and Harvard, in describing a US Navy corpsman during his speech this morning, pronounced the word "corpse-man" three separate times. It was posted on You Tube, until it was yanked.
Certainly all of us who served in our fine US Navy or US Marine Corps know how to pronounce this word, as do most of the English-speaking people of the world. But this president, reading from his always present teleprompter, couldn't get it right. It's my understanding that there was little, if any, discussion of this by mainstream media today, although Fox News picked it up very quickly.
The same media hacks who slammed Bush for any verbal error give this man a pass. What a double-standard. What hypocrisy.
The 1st Jerk's "natural born" skills are demonstrated AGAIN.. Teleprompters don't tell you HOW to pronounce it..?? HAHAHAHA He is the court jester disguised as the king..
has anyone noticed any change in the customs of the marine who salutes POTUS with respect to W and then O when he gets off Marine One.
Anyone who told this guy how to pronounce a word would be shunned for the mistake of making the 0ne look bad.
I’m waiting for one of them to trip his faggot ass when he is getting off the chopper. I can’t wait until he is a corpse (figuratively of course).
Anybody happen to know which foreign languages he knows?
what I find most infuriating, is that I doubt he’d make the same mistake discussing the White House Press Corps.
I’m starting to feel that he thought he was being cute, backhandedly disrespecting the USMC for the benefit of his Leftwit friends.
he knows what he’s doing. Did you ever hear him say Press Corpse? Or Peace Corpse? Of courpse not.
While your premise IS correct, it doesn’t necessarily follow that MARINE Corps would have anything to do with a NAVY corpsman. It may be a small point but still important, especially if we’re criticizing the president for his gaffs.

Be careful about what you say, The Secret Service takes a DIM view about any percieved of real threats to POTUS.
Someone sent Hannity a clip showing Obama making the same mistake last October—either no one told him he was in error or he didn’t care.
Why does these mistakes that the 0ne makes always gets yanked on Youtube?
Shouldn’t a good liberal know elementary French pronunciation?
"That's Korman."
the details of when he salutes .. turns .. etc is a big deal to them. W they snapped to and turned quickly to accept an order if one would come.. watch the details ... it is their way of telling us who they respect..
Note: Obama is pronounced, “Obozo”!!!
There is no need for anyone to inform Obozo that he’s in error - and, it’s not that he doesn’t care. He pronounced it that way purposefully and with intent.
Ebonics???
