White House: Obama 'misspoke' over Nazi death camp (He didn't "misspeak")
ynet ^ | 5/30/2012 | afp

Posted on 05/30/2012 4:09:32 AM PDT by tobyhill

The linguistic faux pas overshadowed President Barack Obama's posthumous award of America's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to Jan Karski, a former Polish underground officer who provided early eyewitness accounts of the Nazi purge against Jews.

"Before one trip across enemy lines, resistance fighters told him that Jews were being murdered on a massive scale, and smuggled him into the Warsaw Ghetto and a Polish death camp to see for himself," Obama said.

He isn't SPEAKING, he's READING this stuff. We should begin demanding that the reporting in Obama be accurate. "read" (pronounced "red") be used instead if "said". "Polish death camps," Obama read. When he is quoted, the reporting should say either " he said" or "he read". (mostly it would say "he read.")

The eloquent words don't come from his higher evolved brain, they come from what other people wrote! He is a parrot. How else can you explain him saying " my sons" in two different speeches in two different venues? He has no original thought, only the thoughts of his handlers. This "error" stands with the others ... Saying "corpse man" ... He is only saying what he is reading. This is not brilliance, this is a much lower IQ driving the problem. Also, it tells you something about the uninformed children he has writing his words for him. This man is a fake and he continues to prove it every time he opens his mouth.

Jan Karski? He is interviewed in SHOAH. As for Obama, he's as bad as Biden: can't open his mouth without sticking his foot in it.

It does speak VOLUMES about the liberals’ concerns on the welfare of the State. They are thought-LESS, nothing beyond grabbing and concentrating as much power in their hands as possible.

Obama is the ‘Actor President’ libs claimed Reagan never was.

This is simply the second phase of Holocaust denial - the Pollocks did it.

Personally, I ascribe this to the assumption of superiority characteristic to the liberal mindset. Yes, diplomacy is a verbal mine-field where few can expect errorless ease, but our current administration is about as bad as I have seen.

Remember the “Reset Button” that Secretary of State Clinton presented the Russian Foreign Minister in March 2009? The one that was mis-spelled to translate into ‘over-charged’? As a one-time thing it could be laughed at, but the idiocy of doing such a simple mistake at the START makes one wonder at the skill of the Administration behind the gaffe.

Add to this the Obama Administration’s ability to insult allies and ignore opportunities to injure enemies and inappropriate apologies and bows and you get a feel of a not-ready-for-prime-time buffoons.

This just adds to it - Inauguration Day 2013 will end it!

Kind of a convenient “mispeaking” for Obama, no?

He sure did mispeak but he sure liked it, is the catch.

Liberals have embraced stupidity as a form of intelligence.

The Nazis said they did not know, and liberals hate to be reminded of that.

For democrates, it works the same, stupidity is a substitute for “mispeaking”, and it is automatic hate and injustice and corruption, without a thought, with laziness and emptiness as holy grails, drilled to them at the hands of evil shrinks.

It’s their greatest discovery and pseudo-salvation in terms of using derisives for sake of “death humor”, feelings-liberationing, craveness, enslavishness, assertiveness, drug induced retardation false courage, stupid strawman arguments, bullying and “unscared cruelty”, “empowered”.

It makes them stupid gods of “false-innocence”, the perfect “poor lawyer” cult.

These people are something to behold in the way they have taken braincells so perfectly hostage to evil.

Now they have their perfect subject in power, so to speak, and they will keep voting for stupid.

I guess he misbowed in terms of showing too much inhibition in a gay display of S&M, leaking the dirty toe nails of the Sheikh with his arse as high up in the air as he could.

It’s why he is so tall, Obama’s handlers wanted to make sure that as a kid his arse would pull up high enough for better sex games and definite positive lack of self respect.

Liberals have embraced stupid to shape their “pseudo-inocence” looks into their perversion desires, as if they were children to be pooh poohed about.

I must thank liberals for giving me a display of what sin leads one to, or what it makes one belong to, when one is informed and falsely innocent. It’s kind of funny and ridiculous in a sick kind of way. It’s a good lesson display for our children in the meantime about what not to do and who not to trust.

Liberals are the perfect test subjects, no need to test ourselves any further and be like the devil, counterpart of Crucifiction process. Plenty of volunteers in government doing a repeat of that for us to figure.

I believe, when this thing is over, that the Democrat Party and the MSM should be held responsible for the “Obama event” they promoted, sponcered, and financed that put him into the White House. America has been kicked, trashed and slammed by this guy, every day he has been there and the MSM media has carried the water. MAKE THEM PAY!!

“President Bush said “WHAT”?????”

Wasn't he the bumbling President who mentioned Polish death camps yesterday?
Bush of course bumbles everything he says; while Mr Obama is very articulate and always drips coolness and intelligence.

Obama is worse at “mispeaking” that G W Bush was, and the dems made a ton of fun about Bush, attacking his intelligence.

“Polish Death Camp” was an understandable faux pas on Obama’s part. YOu see there is a gay bar frequented by Obama radical Socialists called “Polish Death Camp” and its located on the North side of Chicago./S

The fact is, there very easily could be Obama Death Camps. And if you do not believe that Obama has thought of them in his private, narcistic, political fantasy world, you are very much mistaken.The slip was freudian.

He read it from a prepared teleprompted and published text. Which means what? It means that at least two and most likely a dozen overpaid people in the WH read it before him.
