AP Admits Covering Up Obama's 'Gulf' Gaffe
Breitbart - Big Journalism ^ | August 9, 2013 | John Nolte

Posted on 08/11/2013 5:36:12 AM PDT by don-o

During his Wednesday appearance on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show,' President Obama made three factual gaffes; one of them involved the claim that cities not found along the Gulf of Mexico are. Were Obama a Republican, these gaffes would have led news coverage for the next forty-eight hours. Not only did most of the media ignore or downplay these gaffes; the Associated Press went so far as to cover one of them up.

Whether they had pirates is irrelevant - they are NOT on the Gulf Coast, they are on the Atlantic Ocean, and it IS a gaffe.

If I recall, in Quayle’s case, “potato” was spelled “potatoe” on a cue card given him by a teacher, and he just went with what was on the card, assuming it was correct. And I think it is true that “potatoe” is an archaic form of the word, not necessarily a wrong one.

That presumes something I am not willing to concede.

“I then informed them of Obama’s many gaffes. They were stunned...they had never heard of them before. Of course they hadn’t..thanks to Big Lib Media.”

After the 2013 inauguration ceremony, one of my quilting guild ladies came in and was outraged. “Did you hear what his (Obama’s) middle name is?!” I told her, “Yeah; I knew that in 2007.” Of course, her shows are Piers Morgan, The View, Dancing With The Stars, etc.

We’re dooooomed.

President Pee Wee and Vice-President Bozo are great examples of Democrat leaders.

thanks and then we can send GaffeObama to the Queen of England to balance things out.

Remember when the idiot gave the Queen an ipod of his famous speeches?

In this AP incident we observe the two prime directives of the Lame Stream Media in operation:
(1) Preserve the ignorance of the Obama electorate.
(2) Constantly queue up to lick Obama's boots clean each time he steps in it.

One of the conceits of many libs is their belief that they’re well-informed. My own impression of most of my lib family members and friends is that they’re vastly uninformed about many issues of consequence. They simply don’t realize it in their own smug little bubble. They know the half-truth..but they don’t know the whole truth.

Do you really think Obama knew that? He makes mistakes/gaffes constantly. The Media is so far up his rear end they cover for him without even thinking about it.

Nah, I didn't hear the delivery but it just seems to me to be a run on sentence.

The only merit to the story is that a Conservative *may* have drawn flack for it.

There are two or three Videos of Obama picking his nose and contemplating the importance of the Presidential Booger.

If that were Bush, it would have a running Gag on late night TV, like Letterman used to do with his “Great Moments in Presidential Speeches” routine.

Remember, the same people that Voted for VP Biden have no problem telling us how stupid former VP Candidate Palin is.

But thanks anyway for setting up the false premise in order to defend your boy, Zero. Do you happen to work for AP or maybe the NYT by chance?

No, there is more probability that you're a liberal agent provocateur trying to distract us with frivolous trivialities.

Take it from me, they have absolutely no interest in getting informed. It crumbles their belief system so they choose to remain willfully ignorant.

Same situation here with Family members on my Wife’s side. I am the resident “crazy” Right Winger and there is an unspoken rule among them about discussing Politics with me, don’t.

Remember, a Fact to a Liberal is like Sunshine to a Vampire.

It doesn’t matter. It’s just those bitter people clinging to their Bibles, guns and knowlege of geography.

Nah, I didn’t hear the delivery but . . .

Here’s a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbYIyPDAR3w

You might want to give it a listen - “If we don’t deepen our ports all along the gulf coast, places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida, if we don’t do that, those ships are gonna go someplace else. . .”
