Wrong date and a human spellchecker! Note to Barack; if you don't know how to spell a word, you probably shouldn't be writing it. http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2011/05/24/world/europe/AP-EU-Obama-Table-Tennis.html?_r=1
Spellcheckgate. Where's the transparency we were promised? This is essentially a fascist state now. (I spell checked "fascist"...I originally thought it was "fashissed." But it was too important a word to let my own confusion over its spelling deter me!)
How the heck does he write 2008? 2010? Even that's a strectch considering it's late May. He needs a smaller travel teleprompter.
Maybe he was signing it as candidate Obama rather than President Obama. Though, he's back to candidate Obama now, anyway. So much for that theory. Or a larger one? With a date display?
Most likely the same way you write that we haven't seen an IPO from GM, or that I fail to observe that Denny has provided statistics for 1985. It's not such a big "strectch" to think the president makes mistakes too. barfo
Speaking of GM's IPO http://reason.com/archives/2011/05/24/general-motors-will-never-repa General Motors Will Never Repay Taxpayers Obama's spin on GM's latest profit report is pure baloney The Obama administration, and its media backers, have seized upon news that General Motors made a $3.2 billion profit in the first quarter of 2011 as proof positive that its auto bailout is a success. ... No doubt, $3.2 billion is a big number. But an even bigger number is $60 billion. That’s what this administration and the last one together sank into GM (not to mention another $20 billion or so they dumped into Chrysler). When President Obama gave GM this money, he insisted that it was not a handout but an “investment” that would cost taxpayers “not a dime.” But if there was ever any doubt that this wasn’t going to happen, this earning report dispels it. For starters, included in the $3.2 billion figure is the net $1.5 billion that the company generated from the one-time sale of Delphi, its auto parts supplier, and Ally Financial, its financial arm. Subtract that, and its performance looks much less impressive, especially compared to its rival Ford that really didn’t receive a dime from taxpayers yet made $2.6 billion last quarter—or nearly a billion more than GM. But cold, hard cash is not the only help that GM got. Usually when companies declare bankruptcy, their tax liabilities increase since they have no more losses to write off. But GM got Uncle Sam’s special bankruptcy package that allows it write off up to $45 billion of old losses going forward. That puts its total bailout at up to $105 billion. Even that’s not all. The Treasury gave GM $10 billion of the $60 billion as a loan; the rest was through the purchase of equity. (It has more or less paid back the loan.) (more barfo talking points at the link)
But it IS 2008. Brandon Roy is still an All-Star and Steve Blake is still a valuable part of the Portland Trail Blazers. Fuck Andre Miller and the Philadelphia 76ers (they always beat us). Brandon is the greatest of all time and I hope we extend him with a max contract to lock him up long term. He is the savior of the city of Portland!I hope he never leaves. 2008 is the bestest!
Not a good day for our President. Maybe he is paying homage Rowan Aktinson's Mr. Bean character by acting like him? http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2011/05/awkward-moment-during-obama-toast-to-queen-.html
Obama, lost in time? Apparently our brilliant president has no idea what year it is. Amazing. http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/201105...asimprovegiftgivingskillsxidrssfullworldyahoo
Re: Obama, lost in time? You guys should coordinate your attempts to throw silly stuff against the wall: http://sportstwo.com/threads/187636-Only-Missed-It-By-Three-Years!
Uh, huh. And when was the last time you got the current year wrong by 3 years? I know people with Alzheimer's do this, but the President of the United States?
