Obama: 'Twitters'

What's possibly one of the most often quoted statements from George W. Bush's presidency?

He uttered it during his third televised debate with John Kerry, October 8, 2004.

GEORGE W. BUSH: I hear there's rumors on the Internets that we're going to have a draft.

HAHAHA

Bush said "Internets."

That's so funny and so stupid.

And then there's the most brilliant individual, according to Michael Beschloss, that we've ever had as president -- Obama.

Turns out Obama is having pronunciation problems again. (Remember "corpse-man"?)

Well, this really wasn't a pronunciation stupid thing. It was more of a stupid, stupid thing.

But the hacks in the lib media, the good soldiers like NBC's Chuck Todd and Matt Lauer, are there to do damage control for the brilliant one.

Kyle Drennen of Media Research Center writes:

On NBC's Today on Friday, White House correspondent Chuck Todd preemptively dismissed any criticism of President Obama referring to "Twitters" during a joint press conference with Russian President Dimitri Medvedev on Thursday: "It turns out he didn't misstate it. It was written incorrectly in his prepared remarks."

During Todd's report, a clip was played of Obama noting how in a visit to California's Silicon Valley, Medvedev went to "visit the headquarter of Twitters." Obama simply placed an 's' after the wrong word. Rather than let the minor gaffe stand, at the conclusion of the report, Todd made to sure to explain the typographical error to viewers: "You did not mishear. The President did say the word 'Twitters,' plural." Despite Obama's inability to correct the remarks off the cuff, Todd solely blamed a White House staffer for the mistake: "A speechwriter falling on his sword on that one."

Todd quickly changed the subject to a similar gaffe made by President Bush: "...it did bring back memories of President Bush one time referring to those 'internets.'" The media was certainly never quick to come to Bush's defense after a verbal misstep.

Oh, of course.

Obama read perfectly. A White House staffer made the mistake.

Good grief.

If a staffer had made "Biden" plural, would Obama robotically just read "my vice president, Joe Bidens"?

Are we to believe that the brilliant one is so incredibly slow on his feet that he couldn't make the correction himself?

In Chuck Todd's world and Matt Lauer's world, yes, that's what you should believe.

It was the speechwriter's fault. Obama is too smart to say "Twitters."

How idiotic!

These liberals kill me. They're so funny.

Here's an interesting note:

This time, the White House did not alter its official transcript of Obama's remarks to clean up Obama's mistake. The White House did alter the transcript when Obama the Brilliant said "E-PANTS-IPATION."

(Listen to the "E-PANTS-IPATION" audio. It's hilarious. "Rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of e-pants-ipation...")

Back to "Twitters" and the White House transcript--

PRESIDENT OBAMA: I appreciated very much the opportunity to hear President Medvedev’s vision for modernization in Russia, especially high-tech innovation. This is a personal passion of the President. And during his visit to Silicon Valley this week, he visited the headquarter of Twitters [sic], where he opened his own account. I have one as well, so we may be able to finally throw away those “red phones” that have been sitting around for so long. (Laughter.)

I suppose "Twitters" was noted rather than cleaned up because the White House put out the talking point that Obama actually read it correctly. It was the speechwriter's fault.

That is so lame.
