Score One For Obama

Our St. Patrick's merriment is undermined by new information.

A bit more transparency by Barack O'Bama would have helped.

[Raoul Ortega]

So the press botched another one, the incompetents in the White House can't be bothered to set the record straight, but it's the "dittoheads" who are at fault it fit the pattern of behavior for the Big Zero and His Magic Teleprompter. (And it seems that any recordings of this incident are kept in the same place as The Zero's birth certificate, only to be showed to a select few who we are then supposed to trust completely.)

Of course the Left misrepresented and lied about Bush for years, but now we're supposed to treat everything they report with skepticism.

[Cecil Turner]

Apparently he has an audio. It'd be nice if he bothered posting it.

[Daddy]

Good Morning,

I will be off to China this evening for a week or so, and just wanted to give you guys a heads up if you wanted to put in any last minute orders for some High Quality Chinese Condoms.

I am told by President Barack Obama that Chinese">http://www.mcclatchydc.com/251/story/64577.html">Chinese Condoms can be picked up for 3 cents less than US made condoms, which is why we are outsourcing the manufacture of prophylactics from Alabama to the Red Chinese. Over yonder I will of course do my best to discover the true history of condoms, and will happily share with you JOM'ers any interesting discoveries, such as Mao's favorite brand, or how to say "Please, may I have a box of rubbers" in Mandarin. Ciao.

[clarice]

I think they put lead in them, daddy.

Cancel my last. Suspect I might not be Chinabound tonight. Redoubt has apparently had 2 enormous explosions this morning, Ash cloud to 65,000 feet. No ash yet out my kitchen window yet, nor any view of the explosion because of lousy visibility, but here are 2 current links:

Wow. Take care, Daddy, and report back when you can.

[Porchlight]

Re: the audio file that "removes all doubt" - it can't do that for the rest of us until we get to hear it, sorry.

However, since Harnden has been pretty good chronicling other Obama gaffes, I'm willing to give him (if not Obama) the benefit of the doubt.

Well, he does say this...

That was pretty clear: there was a teleprompter mix up and the fall guy was Cowen. Obama stepped in after Cowen's five-minute speech to make a good-natured and well-received joke at the Irish premier's expense.

Which is consistent with Obama's nature. He could have made a self-deprecating joke about the teleprompter, but instead chose to use the occasion to make it at the distinguished guest's expense.

However good-natured it was, and I am not saying it wasn't, there was no chance Obama was going to turn the humor on himself..

[DebinNC]

Does the WH have an official videographer on duty at such speechifying events? If so, wouldn't a FOIA request have been honored by the most transparent admin in history?

[Jane]

Daddy,

I mentioned you on my radio show this week: "My friend in Alaska..." which went with my up to date reporting on Redoubt. I managed to have a little brain blip as I could not remember if redoubt is a volcano, but luckily I righted that ship.

Now if I were Dick I would have said: "My very close friend in Alaska.." but I refrained.

[PaulL]

Mao the Dung use condoms? Now there's a laugh, Daddy! According to his longtime personal physician, Dr. Li, Mao infected countless virgins with VD, girls or young women who were persuaded to have sex with him.

If you google Chairman Mao + VD, however, the first hit will be TIME magazine from 1972, praising Mao's eradication of VD in China and the wonderful national health system they have, that costs each worker only 9 cents a month.

[PDinDetroit]

and the wonderful national health system they have, that costs each worker only 9 cents a month.

Just about the cost of a mass-produced 22 LR, right between the eyes.

[PDinDetroit]

So, Mt. Redoubt erupts today at 1:34 PM Eastern. Was either Barry O'Bama or Turbo Timmy speaking during that time???

[daddy]

Jane,

Perhaps, "my friend in Alaska, the Chinese condom distributor..." might increase listenership...Just a thought:)

[hit and run]

A Chinese condom distributor who goes by the name "Daddy" might set off some alarm bells for prospective customers wishing to remain childless.

Kinda like the hospital in Dallas, RHD Memorial Medical Center.

That is, when it used to not use the initials. It was Robert H. Dedman Memorial.

Not quite the name that lends itself to building an image as a place of saving lives.

But a phonetically macabre hospital name is awesome.

As is a procreativist name for a condom distributor

[Chris]

I would argue that the gaffe reflects quite poorly on his staff. Kudos to the President for making light of it, but who was responsible for loading the TELE-promp-TER?

[Charlie (Colorado)]

I notice that Ramesh Ponnuru linked JOM noting this tory. So Ramesh reads us.

I shall now indulge the fantasy that TCO is actually Ramesh.

[DebinNC]

..who was responsible for loading the TELE-promp-TER?

The same person who made him say "OR-ion".

I'm in - well except that might provoke my co-host into a 20 rant about the moo goo chicken he had a week ago Tuesday.

[PeterUK]

"The same person who made him say "OR-ion"."

O'Rion!

[Jane]

20 minute rant - sheesh

[hit and run]

Deb:

I think it's bgates.

[daddy]

Hit, you are hilarious.

I will happily send a carton of Chinese Condom's to you in N.C., so that you can list "Chinese Condom Distributor"
on your resume'. I can't help but believe that that will open a lot of doors for you should you wind up being interviewed by any Duke Graduates.

[hit and run]

Well, "Chinese Condom Distributor" is already on my resume -- but this would make it legit.

Though the boss that hired me for the job that brought me to NC went to Wake, so at least she was impressed...

[daddy]

PaulL,

Interesting how Mao comes off so much better when you google "Chairman Mao and VD", than when you google "Castro and Herpes", or "Stalin and Gonorrhea." Who would have guessed it.

[jimmyk]

Considering the number of journalists who still refer to Bush's plastic turkey, I'm not going to lose too much sleep over sloppy reporting that makes Obama look bad. Of course all of this makes the media look bad.

[Dave]

Is this audio file that removes all doubt kept in the same place as John Kerry's medical records that were "released"?

You guessed it Dave its right there with Zero's birth certificate and college transcripts.
