Obama Hails The "Miami Heats" [Illiterate in Chief]
ABC ^ | 6/26/12 | Devin Dwyer

Posted on 06/27/2012 3:25:56 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

Unfazed by a partisan spat sparked by his comment on former Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis, President Obama tonight again opined on a professional sports team, publicly praising the NBA champion Miami Heat at a campaign fundraiser in the city.

The only problem this time was that Obama mispronounced the name of the team -referring to it as the "Miami Heats" in an apparent slip of the tongue.

If George Bush had screwed up the team's name, every Miami television station would be blasting this incident as a major flub.

Hey, cut The Prez some slack. Some months ago he also showed respect to a Navy Corpse-man. Gotta give him credit for that.

At least when Obama speaks about sports teams, he knows a little bit about the subject.

In everything elese he speaks on he doesn’t have a clue.

“referring to it as the “Miami Heats” in an apparent slip of the tongue.”

Obama does not make mistakes. It was the teleprompter.

This guy is an alien planted by the enemy. His arrogance has convinced him that he can act like a real American. The only ones clapping are his fellow travelers who are also alien to the American spirit and mindset.

This is the problem with an entirely scripted persona. Nothing about Obama is natural. Everything is a projection. He might as well be from Mars.

I think Obama needs to keep talking about the Youkilis trade. Two or three more Op-Ed's might put MA in play.

Did anyone else see the press statment afterwards? They actually mentioned the Babe Ruth trade and Buckner's error in the '86 series.

If the teleprompter script writers have any sense of duty to America, they would find passive ways to expose this alien day after day after day. It should not be too difficult to weave into speeches confounding words like Khe Sanh or corpseman.

His next speech to the Naval Academy should include the word forecastle.

Zippy talks like a alien, plays Basketball like a 8 year old, talks like an alien. He doesn’t even know anything about American Civics that an 8 year old would. Yet people clutch at that straw that he was born in Hawaii.

He didn’t screw up! There’s more than one player on the team! He was congratulating the whole team! The problem is EVERYONE ELSE who doesn’t understand that when there’s more than one, it’s plural! Geesh!

OH but I thought according to the MSM that our “heterosexual” president was a MAN’S MAN who chugs back beer and is the nation’s #1 sports fan. But yet every time, he speaks about sports he shows his complete misunderstanding of it. I will always remember the time when he was in the booth for the all star game and he said the White Sox played in Cominskey Park or when Joe Buck asked him who his favorite White Sox was and he couldn’t name one, he then sputterd out an answer that he grew up being an Oakland As fan. Goodbye to your fake sports pandering to cover up for your effeminate nature in a couple of months dumb ass, can’t wait to put adults back in charge again.
