Joe Newby at Examiner. com noted that the media that loves gaffes that make Republican look dumb somehow goes missing in action when Obama goofs. At a speech in Roanoke on Friday night, as more than 20 people fainted or struggled in the heat, Obama blurted out "the paralegals" would be coming to help.
Newby wrote, "A Google search at the time of this writing found that the gaffe has gone unreported by the so-called 'mainstream media.'", My own "all news" Nexis search confirms Obama wasn't tagged for this remark:
OBAMA: Now, before I finish, can I say, by the way, that some of you have been standing for a while and I see a couple folks slumping down a little bit. Make sure you're drinking water. Bend your knees. Don't stand up too straight. The paralegals will be -- the paralegals? (Laughter.) You don't need lawyers. (Laughter.) The paramedics will be coming by, so just give folks a little bit of room, they'll be fine.
Perhaps if ObamaCare would be fully implemented, you might need paralegals before you get health care. CBS noticed it, but didn't go beyond a tweet.
"Catching his mistake," CBS Radio reporter Mark Knoller tweeted, Obama corrected himself and told the crowd, "you don't need lawyers."
..."Obama, meaning to say paramedics are available if anyone feels weak, says "paralegals" are around. Crowd laughs along with him," tweeted Roanoke Times Live.
The folks at Twitchy have now been picked up on an MSN aggregator, but as usual, Obama's errors are always seen as far too tiny (or don't fit the smart-liberal narrative).
Anyone in the media who reported Bush and Dan Quayle “gaffs” but ignores the ignoramus’s gaffes is nothing but a worthless blunt tool of the Democrats.
It has to be a sad pathetic life, to be a dull blunt Democrat Party tool.
His grasp of medical issues is ... ummm ... weak.
Or Sarah Palin . . .
He meant they should enter the lawsuit lottery.
Is it Obama's fault that the Teleprompter guy put "paralegal" on the teleprompters? Besides the swooned people will need paralegals to fill out the ER paperwork! FYI, President Obama was born in Hawaii. Racist!
Of course a child with asthma should be given a breathalyzer! How else is one to know if the little wretch got into Papa's brandy!? Besides, it's not the President's fault. The teleprompter people got that wrong.
Admit it. You are against Preeident Obama because he is White. Or Black. Teleprompter guy will know.
True. But it pays well.
"you don't need lawyers." BHO
It’s more important to know how to spell potato than to know the difference between a paralegal and an paramedic. The media failing to point out this man’s ineptness puts the media in line for prosecution some day. This has all got to stop.

Perhaps there were some hospital “corpsemen” in the crowd to help out also.
More fainter fakers?
Maybe the paralegals can help the victims file a lawsuit against Obama for droning on so long in the heat.
Thanks for the link.
