Obama Calls Tornado Ravaged Okla. Town By Wrong Name
Breitbart ^ | 05/29/13

Posted on 05/29/2013 7:27:19 AM PDT by Nachum

President Obama in Asbury Park, NJ on Tuesday:

"So, Jersey, you’ve still got a long road ahead, but when you look out on this beach -- this beautiful beach here, even in the rain, it looks good. You look out over the horizon, you can count on the fact that you won’t be alone. Your fellow citizens will be there for you -- just like we’ll be there for folks in Breezy Point and Staten Island -- (applause) -- and obviously, we’re going to be there for the folks in Monroe [sic], Oklahoma, after the devastation of last week. (Applause.)

"Part of the reason I wanted to come back here was not just to send a message to New Jersey, but send a message to folks in Oklahoma: When we make a commitment that we’ve got your back, we mean it -- (applause) -- and we’re not going to finish until the work is done. Because that’s who we are.

I believe the people of Oklahoma will show America how to come back from a disaster such as they’ve recently exprienced. They won’t sit around waiting for Washington to issue handouts. They have started and will continue to dig out and rebuild. They will do it pretty much on their own and without the assistance New Orleans got after Katrina. The people on the Mississippi Gulf coast did what Oklahome will do. Just get to the task at hand and see it through to the end.

"In which of the 57 states can Monroe be found?"

I'll have to search it down to be accurate, but there is something about 57 nation states under Islam. Something like that.

I'll find it.

So, he probably just had a slip of the tongue like when he referred to his Muslim faith and was corrected by an interviewer. Then, he was all "yes, I mean Christian".

Google "57 Islamic states". I think he had a slip of the tongue when he referred to 57 American states.

He also mispronounced Newtown, CT. TOTUS’s fault.

Obama should be held up America with the saying, “this is the result of affirmative action, incompetency at the highest level.”

And we can count on the Republicans in the House & Senate to stop the bleeding......

Having lived in the Texas Gulf Coast area for a half century, I’ve seen lots of storm damage.

We drove through Moore on I-35 a few days ago.

The tornado crossed the freeway and so there is damage for a short distance on either side of I-35 for about 3 seconds driving time.

It is hard to describe the impact it has on a person. The damage appeared so suddenly and is of such magnitude (photos and video cannot capture this) that it was very much like a sucker-punch to my heart.

I don’t cry easily, but this sight, combined with previous knowledge of the suffering and deaths caused by this storm, caused in me involuntary, instant tears.

It was an “Oh, God” moment; an instinctive turning to Him when reality is huge and bad.

I would think that the president, having seen much more of the destruction than I saw and having spoken with people from Moore, would want to apologize for this mistake because the thought of inflicting even the smallest additional suffering on these poeple is abhorrent.

Do you do this often, take an opportunity to divert comments regarding little barry bastard boy in order to trash the balckmailable Boehner? Eventually, with enough negative naybobbery, the conservative turnout for 2014 will be suppressed under the notion that it makes no difference whether we vote since things will not change regardless ... is that your goal?

My goal is to remind people that Boehner must be replaced.

Before you worry about 2014, you should worry that Boehner is already making overtures of a House sponsored “watered-down” amnesty. It won’t be watered down, it will just be amnesty.
He needs to know we won’t stand for it.

‘He needs’ to be retired and forgotten. His spine obviously has barry’s nasty hand at the end of it. The man is a disgusting sellout wimp and a traitor to republicanism as he aids and abets the barry soetoro work to end the Republic. Disgust
