President Obama taking heat over mispronunciation of "Corpsmen."
   
While speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, President Obama mispronounced the word "Corpsman" as "corpse-man."

The right-wing is already making fun of this. Why would people expect others who didn't serve in the Military to necessarily be familiar with every pronunciation of their lingo? Give it a rest.

Yeah and if it was Bush you would give him a break too.  :whatever:

So if Obama never was in the military and he is escalating an illegal war wouldn't he be a chickenhawk too?

1. That's all they got?
   
How about the thousands of mispronounciations and made up words Dubya said?

Hmmm same words a troll here at CC used in a thread in the politics forum.

No we remember you morons making fun of Bush over that now the man that you claim to be the smartest president ever makes some verbal slip ups so we get to make fun of the man that you think is so smart. The smartest president these 60 states have ever seen.

"Over the last 155 months we've traveled to every corner of the United States. I've now been in 57 states. I think only 1 left to go."

"On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes.. and I see many of them in the audience here today."

"You know, it's always a bad practice to say 'always' or 'never'."

Him smarterest precident evah!!!!!!!!!!11111111!!!!!!eleventy.

BTW, Obumbler used corpse man in the above Memorial Day campaign speech. So it not the first time and none of his staff got it either. I'm sure that Obama thinks that we all say it wrong.

Because he's the fricking COMMANDER IN CHIEF you moron! Besides, you'd think the smartest man on the planet would, supposedly and editor of a prestigious ivy league law journal would bother to know how to spell/pronounce words. Sorry but he doesn't get a pass on this. It's disrespectful. These guys are required to respect/salute him regardless of how many times he's ripped on them, regardless of giving them ROE's that get them killed. The least he could do it learn how to pronounce his name. Think of it this way: if you'd tease George Bush about it why should the big zero be treated any differently? If your side can't take what we put up with for 4 years maybe it's time to put on your big girl panties and man up.

Lay off the jug-eared muslim. I'll bet he can pronounce words in Arabic that would twist your tongue out of your head.

Considering that Corpse Men provide most of his care at Bethesda he would know how to pronounce it. If he actually cared about the most decorated and dedicated bunch in the military.

Their hypocracy on these matters when it comes to Dear Leader was more than predictable from the primitives.

I know I did not join the Army.  Thought I did not join the Marine Corps either but ended up spending 12 years with em.  I had more cammies and boots in my closet when I retired than I did Navy uniforms.

Good God, if he ever watched a war movie, or even that liberal hand wringing show M.A.S.H., he would know it.

I think he said that crap on purpose.He definitely knew what a corpse was by watching some of his Harvard professors.
