Before presenting tennis legend Billie Jean King with the Medal of Freedom Wednesday, President Obama ticked off some ...
... of her accomplishments: 12 Grand Slam titles, 101 doubles titles, 67 singles titles.
“Pretty good, Billie Jean,†he quipped.
But he didn’t get any of it right, according to King herself.
“They didn’t get any of my facts right,†King lightheartedly noted afterward. “Did you see all the – how many titles I won? I was cracking up.â€
“Not even in the ballpark,†she continued.
King found it amusing, and said her accomplishments on the court aren’t the most important.
“I thought it was adorable,†she said.
Asked what Obama got wrong, she said, “Well the Grand Slam’s at 39 not at 12.â€
“That’s not what’s important,†she explained. So when Obama got it wrong, “I thought even was more cute...I go, ‘Oh that’s really sweet.’ Like, just move on, get off the tennis stuff. Tennis was a platform.â€
...another obamagasm. Even when they are fully aware that he's wrong, they gush. If President Bush had done this, he'd have been shredded six ways from Sunday. :whatever:

Now let's be real, who is going to get upset over the Prez putting out bad stats fed to him by some staffer for a speech about you while he's pinning the Medal of Freedom on you, really?
