President for five minutes and already “The One” gets the facts wrong.

“Forty four Americans have now taken the Presidential oath.”

Is it too early for me to nominate this to be the phrase that gets "chiseled into marble"?

Obama’s first words to us as President of the United States he has already bungled it. Actually, forty three Americans have been sworn in as President. Grover Cleveland served non-consecutive terms and was, therefore, the 22nd and 24th President.

Not a big deal right? Splitting hairs you say?

Well, since these jokers have pounced on every grammatical error of our former President for the past eight years, I intend to return the favor. The default position of the media elites has been that Obama is “so brilliant” and “so well-spoken” and, to borrow a phrase from our own resident ‘Benedict Arnold’, ‘has an intellectual curiosity about the issues’…that’s right Colon Powell, we’re not going to forget about you.

So when His Excellency misspeaks, I’m going to point it out. And I’m going to claim that it is evidence of how dumb he is as well. After all, what’s fair is fair right? It’s not as though this was some off-the-cuff remark at a fundraiser. This was his inaugural address! The moment Barack has been waiting for his entire life…right?

This is, unfortunately, the first and last we’ll ever hear of this.

Added to messing up the oath (the 2 other times-not the Roberts line), previously mentioning 57 states, previously sympathizing with 10,000 tornado deaths (there were 12).

Oh, come on. Obama (peas be upon him) never said there were 57 states in the US.

He said he had been to 57 states with one left to go, and that number didn’t include Alaska and Hawaii. Therefore, Obama (peas be upon him) believes there are 60 states.

From the Wapost:

“Obama opened his speech by declaring that “44 Americans have now taken the presidential oath,” although, in fact, only 43 have done so. Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and 24th president, the only commander in chief to serve two nonconsecutive terms. An Obama official said the president was aware of the fact but thought it would be less confusing to overlook the footnote.”
