Next up: The Marine Corpse and the Army Corpse of Engineers.

Imagine the uproar if Bush had said this or used a teleprompter while talking to 6th Graders.

Give him some credit - he's got that nose in the sky pose down pat.

What do you expect when you've got a guy who can't do anything but read a TelePrompter eloquently. Maybe they need to project the stuff to him phonetically.

College Edge-U-macated and the idiot can't speak without a teleprompter with sound. Would somebody please get the gaffe hook and get this idiot off the stage.

Oh snap!!!! That was a cringe inducing moment.

Anybody keeping score?

Steve

If Obama had earned his position on the merits of his experience and qualifications alone, he'd have known long ago, many times over the difference between a corpsman and a corpse, man.

It is an absolute DISGRACE to hear this idiot call Corpsman Brossard a "corpse man". And, he said it THREE times, not twice. This arrogant, nose-in- the-air IDIOT has no respect for our military. The "commander in chief"?? Is that not a terrifying concept?

"Ameri-CORPSE"... need I say more?...

It gave me an idea for a new Zombie video. "Obama and the Corpse-man." I gotta say, with these bozos in office, i never lack for material for my show

Just let him keep talking. Give any idiot enough rope and he will eventually hang himself.

The only problem is he is an idiot with a lot of power and most of it has gone to his head.

God help us all.

How ironic that the Commander-in-Chief can't pronounce "corpsman". His Black Liberation Theology religeous mentor (Jeremiah Wright) just happened to be a Navy Hospital Corpsman at Bethesda. Maybe he never heard Wright talk about his background like he didn't hear his hate filled rhetoric over the twenty years he sat in the pews. I don't believe it for a minute...Sorry!!!

Are we amazed to be amazed???????

Lord: can we get rid of him in 3 more years.

If Bush had screwed up that bad, the entire media would make fun of him. The way it is, looks like only Fox gives us the truth about the Anointed One.

How can you say Obama "gets a pass" when your post here is contradictory evidence that he doesn't? You further proclaim it would be repeated for the entire weekend and beyond. Well, the "entire weekend and beyond" has not come to pass yet, so why are you making your point based upon speculation as if it has already occurred?

And, an individual mispronounces one word and he "should learn to speak English"?

Such a sad commentary on your part.

Can all of you negative people get a life please!!!!

This article says Obama said "corpse-man" twice in his speech. He actually said it THREE times, and he also said "corpse-man" in a speech to the troops back in December (you can find the video online). I wonder how his press secretary Gibbs will dance around this latest embarrasment from our President.

Doesn't say much about Harvard grads does it. At least he didn't say anything negative about Vegas or the Cambridge poice.

Presidential historian Michael Beschloss told Imus that Obama is, "probably the smartest guy ever to become President." Nobody ever called Bush the smartest guy ever. We all make an occasional mistake. However, the media's reputation is at stake because they have inflated Obama's qualifications. There is now a webpage for Obamaisms. One that was missed was, "I want to be very clear that we are resolved to halt the rise of privacy in that region," when discussing Somalia. This might have been missed because the NYT corrected their transcript.) Perhaps his excuse is "I can't hear myself." (his excuse on 5 June 2008). Or maybe he needs a breathalyzer.

I'm pretty sure I've heard him refer to the Peace Corps as the Peace Corps, rather than the Peace Corpse... so surely he must know how to pronounce the word Corps correctly. He must either have a profound disdain for the military, or is the biggest dunce and teleprompter puppet we've seen in the White House so far. And one in dire need of remedial vocabulary instruction. I really don't care to hear what a great orator and intelligent leader this boob is anymore. Harvard Degree stocks just took a nose dive in the market of institutions of higher learning. Obama wouldn't amount to a fly speck in comparision to the common sense, intelligence and leadership of any one of the likes of Jefferson, Madison, Adams (John or Sam), Franklin, Geo. Washington and Hamilton. And yet, he and his capos are, each day, busily undoing the fine work of those great minds. God Save the Republic.

Etazini, the 57th state.

If The One's staffers had done a little more research, they might have found that "Creole" is a derivative of French. His pronunciation of "En-tan-zini" is actually "Etats Unis," spoken "Etas-Uniee."

I am also reminded of the media constantly hammering George W. Bush for saying "nuke-you-ler" for "nuke-lee-ar." "Corpse-man" is equally egregious, yet goes without comment from the fawning Fourth Estate.

May God bless and hold our servicemen and women in the palm of His hand.

I am just sooooo embarassed. Obama is quickly

becoming the laughing stock of the world. Now he

is bowing to the Mayor of Tampa....and he can't

talk. What could possibly be next? He is a JOKE!

He told us what he was and what he was going to do. We apparently did not believe him, because "We the people" were so enamered with the idea of a "black" president we failed to vet him. Now we get after him about his speech, (no worse than Bush) And remember 52% of us wanted him. We are so sheeple and easy to delude. May God have mercy on us. I fear we will not be able to block the change, he thinks is so badly needed, quickly enough to overcome his terrorist attack on our country. I hope the country can hold together long enough to get to November. I would rather use the ballot box than the cartrige box.

As a proud former Corpsman and current Ensign in the Navy, I am troubled by the Commander-in-Chief's apparent lack of familiarity with his military. How is it possible that he doesn't know about Corpsmen? Does he know that he sends Corpsmen every time he sends Marines to war?

Maybe he will decide to turn on his "negro dialect" now when he speaks. It is ok to say and post that, I mean the Senate majority leader got a pass from Reverend Al. Someone should suggest he have a press conference where reporters can axe him queshuns?

The press continually made fun of George W Bush for mispronouncing words and he occasionally did.

The difference is that Obama really believes that he pronounced it right - "CORPES-MAN". He just doesn't have a clue . . . . . He should apologize to all servicemen and women, both past and present for his gross ignorance and make a commitment as "Commander And Chief" to at least take the time to learn the basic

terminology used by the military that serves so valiantly under him.

Why isn't this on the google news? Or my town newspaper? Trying to hide it and instead extolling how great the "prayer breakfast" was. It wasn't on cnn either. Too leftist, I guess. Only Fox as usual had the nerve to run it. If Bush did this it would be all over the place.....

Etazini??

'Etats-Unis' is fairly elementary French; nothing obscure or particularly Creole about this term. They even understand it in Louisiana.

"...If you fool enough of the people once it can last four years."

I used to think he did pretty well reading cold copy from his TelePrompTer, but he clearly doesn't speak much French.

Let us not forget how many months, perhaps years we were reminded by the MSM of Dan Quayle's horrible slip in the mis-spelling of the word "potatoe" in a chidren's spelling B contest.

We never heard the end of it.......so, consider the source, now that the shoe is on the other foot.

Wow !! That is bad !!! God Help the U.S.A !!

Obama screwed up...showed ignorance...whatever...but he's still light years ahead of his predecessor!

To all who complain about the lack of reporting of the mispronunciation: is it really news when someone gives a speech of over 1900 words and mispronounces one of them? I know...your response is that if Bush had done the same, it would have been reported. Why do you think that is? Don't you believe that Bush's repeated mispronunciations had something to do with the scrutiny he received? 'Corpsman' is a relatively uncommon word in our language whereas 'nuclear' is not. Don't you think that is a difference worth considering? How much of this criticism is a prejudice that exists among most readers here against President Obama? This country is the greatest in the world and I love it, but we all too often get caught up in these silly partisan arguments---and yes, the guilt lies with the left as well as the right.

Lori posted: "What do you expect when you've got a guy who can't do anything but read a TelePrompter eloquently. Maybe they need to project the stuff to him phonetically."

I'm really surprised they haven't been doing that. I think a lot of politicians, news anchors, and other celebrities who speak publicly have words spelled out phonetically if there's any chance they might mispronounce them otherwise.

This was not a gaffe or a mangling of the English language like Bush often did but an obvious lack of knowledge by Obama since it was repeated a couple of times. I would really like to hear what a forensic psychologist would say about Obama's IQ level since he is determined to keep this information in Davy Jones' Locker or with the "corpse-man" which ever you prefer!

Notice how some people seem to feel duty-bound to try to explain away this guy's gaffes? Even to the extent of blaming the words for his mispronunciations of them. How ridiculous! We're to believe this guy is a super-intellect simply because someone tells us he is, but I, frankly, do not see it. But he's a Harvard graduate, you say? Well, so was George Bush, the man whom intellectuals love to disdain. Or is he to be assumed intellectually superior only because he espouses the leftist programs of our intellectually elite educators and media? He is obviously in way over his head and just a bit of thinking by voters prior to voting would have revealed this. And to answer the criticism that I no coubt think this way because of prejudice, borrowing Chris Matthews's thought, for the past year I wouldn't even have noticed he was black...except when he constantly reminded me of it. God save the United States of America.

This President is a total disgrace. I hope all those who voted for him like the "Change" they are getting. Let's "corps man", left hand over right chest, doesn't salue the flag, wants a national police force, forced health care, bows to anyone, opologizes for the U.S., laughes and jokes with Hugo Chavez, steals an american automobile company, tells company how much they can pay someone, puts the U.S. in debt so much, we can never get out. Yep, we got change alright. We can change also. Like change Presidents at the end of this guys term, change Speaker of the House in 2010 and get rid of the Senate Majority leader. Thats the kind of change we need.

Oh, David...

...Is the Kool-Aid good?

The CiC mispronouncing "corpsman" not once, but several times, is roughly akin to Ronald McDonald saying that the company he represents sells "hambunglers". I can't wait for Obama to say, "Marine Corpse" in one of the speeches he obviously tries so hard to read.

It appears that having a command of the language is not a requirement for affirmative-action students to graduate from Columbia and Harvard.

Wasn't this the guy who everyone said was a great orator like Churchill or FDR? Wasn't this the guy who was going to make the world love us again? Well, I guess they love to laugh at us with our commander in chief showing his complete lack of knowledge about the military and anything not on his teleprompter. Presidentsuit.com

Amazing! I don't think this man has a clue about the history of our military. O.K. I grew up during WWII, so I had the benefit of reading Guadacanal Diary, seeing the movie and John Wayne in Sands of Iwo Jima so I knew by the time I was 12 years old that a Corpsman was not a Corpseman. So this man was so detached he didn't even read or see "Flags of our Fathers" where the authors father was a Corpsman and one of the men raising the flag on Mt. Surabachi. He should publicly apologize to all those men who risked and many of whom gave their lives for their comrades througout the history of our U.S. Navy and Marines. What a disgrace to the office.

And of course the president also needs a teleprompter to speak to elementary school kids.

Ed, if you don't believe that he has a command of the English language, that simply shows your ignorance. I don't know if he went to Harvard or Columbia due to any affirmative action initiatives but affirmative action has nothing to do with lowering of standards--but I guess your ignorance doesn't allow you to see that either.

And he is the "Commander-in-Chief" of these corpse-men. This is like a librarian calling the place where he/she works a "liberry." Too much. Too much.

Bush was an awful speaker... true. But, he did so on such a consistent basis compared to not only Obama, but, just an average Joe. All that aside, that's not why he was quoted by Donald Trump as being the "worst president in history". If the topic on the forefront for the right-wing is the mispronunciation of a word, then that should be a HUGE credit to the things that matter when it comes to the job of being president. That's the best you can do? really?!!

David, how is Obama "light years ahead of his predecessor?" Do you mean in education? We know nothing about his education, all his records are sealed, except what he says he did. Do you mean the number of Obama gaffes that were not reported by the socialist media? Do you mean in how he is running the country into the ground in terms of politics, economics, ethics, military?

Incidentally, most Americans mispronounce nuclear because of the double consonant "cl" followed by the diphthong "ea." "Cl" is hard to say for most people without inserting the vowel "u."

However, most real Americans know about silent consonants in the English language such as in corpsman.

We hope all the people who voted for this man(?) hoping for change are experiencing the "change" they were expecting. He is a disgrace to the office and country AND the world. God help our country!

He's so amazing... I would only trust him to spend my money for me... He has a law degree from harvard.... This makes him far more superior than myself... Give me a freakin break...

Ya know what I like about the lefties' arguments? It's that they always throw in your face that the 'right' does it, too. Heard that before... when I was 8... something to do with a bridge and my friends... Listen carefully to their admonishments - reminiscent of 4th grade schoolyard antics. Grow a pair already and come armed to the fight. Otherwise, step off.

This is precisely why the Annointed One needs a......Pronunciation Czar.

I'll bet Bush knew how to pronounce the word since he was actually in the military. Commiecrats complained because Bush wasn't "qualified" to lead the military?

David:

I would like to respond to your comments, but your blatant ignorance has infuriated me to the point where I might pound the keys right through my keyboard.

I can understand if he had misspelled Corpsman. I have often seen it done. But if the Commander in Chief wants to slaughter my tittle like that. Thats ok OSama!

Brian, why don't you give it a try. I'm interested to hear what you have to say.

Try to imagine the previous poster trying to characterize the word corpsman as being a relatively uncommon word in our language in their attempt to apologize for Obama's gaffe. What parallel universe does he come from? I realize the quality of education has significantly decreased in our country due to the progressives blatant desire to raise our standard of education up to a new low, but I am amazed each day how low it has gone. :)

Re: David, who said: Obama screwed up...showed ignorance...whatever...but he's still light years ahead of his predecessor!

How do you mean? In terms of expanding government? Redistributing income? In those respects, he is indeed "light years ahead" of Bush - who was no small-government conservative.

David: I refuse tohave a battle of wits with an unarmed person. It would be like Custer's 7th Cavalry using Stinger missles against the Native Americans.

WOW, Judgeing by the comments it is surprising to see how far the president's esteem has dropped. Six months ago the nobama'ites would be swearing and name calling and crying foul by a margine of 100 to 1. It seems even thay have abandoned him.

Is it possible that, it is because possibly he is anti war,like many on the left? Please understand, I am not very familiar with his stance, so therefore I am merely wondering.

Just so everyone knows, This "David" here is not me, does not represent me, and speaks nothing like me. I wouldn't want to be getting any nasty emails from confused people.

And just to clear things up for you blokes, this gaffe is just another in a long line that makes the man look like an idiot. You sir, talke with a lot of big words, but there is really no substance behind them. Oh, and put your glasses on, too, it's obvious that you're very short-sighted, too.

notice how the libs, always say BUSH----didn't he leave Washington a year ago??? DO THEY have corpesmen in KENYA?

"If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

Brian, I guess ad hominem attacks are the last resort of someone who does not have a valid argument to make. I guess I was foolish to expect more.

George Bush always said "Nucular". It's the advisors...they're all clueless

I'll not use "corpseman" as a stepping stone, but tallying up all the changes promised, I see them going in the wrong direction. I have to agree with many of those who said "God save this country." I'm over eighty years old and I have seen some very good changes to this country, but not lately.

Mis-pronouncing one word? Is that all you've got? Aren't you really angry about something else? Why don't you post about that instead?

You people are so negative. Let me know how that works out for ya.

When W. got "elected" in 2000 I said this country was going to hell. Well, guess what? Be careful what you wish for is all I have to say.

tony, it's not one word. And if you think this is negative you must not mind the swearing hatefest going on at hundreds of liberal sites against conservatives. The lamestream press does not cover gaffes by the left or if they were somehow forced to, they would make excuses for it, like you do. The government owns GM by bailing them out with taxpayer money. The Obama administration presses the largest fiscal bill in American history, caps the salaries of executives at institutions receiving federal aid at $500,000 and introduces a new plan to rescue the banking industry, the unemployment rate is at its highest in 16 years. The Dow has slumped to 1998 levels, and last year mortgage foreclosures rose 81 percent.

Curtis,

If the mainstream press does not report these gaffes, then how are they so widely known?

Get real, everybody. Just because Obama misprounced the word...and I agree, he should know better, and it is a terrible embarrassment...does not justify all you idiots calling him an idiot! He is still one of the smartest Pres. we have ever had and there are so many other things that prove that, unlike GW Bush, who's gaffes were numerous, and reflected his overall incompetence.

David...nuclear is a common word and is pronounced nuk-u-leer by many english speaking people, correctly or not. Corpsman is a common word to any person who has a modicum of intelligence and as the Commander in Chief, BO certainly should know how to pronounce it. Why can't you just admit that your messiah just isn't making the grade?

Harvard grad? No one knows for sure as Harvard and two other colleges have not and will not release his transcripts.

David The mainstream media does report these incidents as FOX news is the ONLY mainstream news media

OK, OK, so he mispronounced a word.

It's not the first time, and certainly not the last.

Seriously, I ax you, is it such a big deal?

Kenneht (or is that "Kenneth"?), "corpsman" is not a commonly used word in our language, so your characterization as such is inaccurate.

Any person who has a modicum of intelligence can see that Barack Obama is an intelligent individual-- whether you agree with his policies or not--who simply mispronounced a word that he is not familiar with. For you to judge his intelligence on that basis makes me question YOUR intelligence. And to assume that Barack Obama is my "messiah" is simply asinine.

Bill R,

I was trying to point out that these incidents are reported by mainstream media. It was Curtis who stated otherwise.

David, apparently Corpsmen is not a familiar word in the uneducated world that you live in, but I remember 5th grade History class teaching me about all branches of the military including the Marine Corps, which, as shocking as it may be to you, includes Corpsmen. My next question is, why are you on an obviously right-winged, Conservative site if you are obviously a left-winged Nazi? The fact that our President cannot pronounce one of the major military words is a big deal, especially when he is our Commander-in-Chief. Commander, Corpsmen, guess what, they all belong to the same vocabulary group!

Not to worry about the pronoucing or spelling. He is selling America. Americans should wake up!

This is particularly offensive to me since my husband was a Navy Corpsman.....during Viet Nam when their life expectancy was about a month in the field. Not that our Commander in Chief would be aware of that!
