2/5/10: Obama Salutes Navy "Corpse-Men"

Who's retarded now?

Is there a zombie wing of the US Navy? Or is this just another Obama gaffe?

From yesterday's remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast:

One such translator was an American of Haitian descent, representative of the extraordinary work that our men and women in uniform do all around the world -- Navy Corpsman Christian [sic] Brossard. And lying on a gurney aboard the USNS Comfort, a woman asked Christopher: "Where do you come from? What country? After my operation," she said, "I will pray for that country." And in Creole, Corpsman Brossard responded, "Etazini." The United States of America.

Ugh. The scary thing isn't the gaffe itself, it's the calm way in which he just continues to suck on his pacifier read from his teleprompter. He doesn't stutter, stop, or correct himself, because the teleprompter keeps going. He is so locked in that he has no idea he is pronouncing the word incorrectly. Makes you wonder how often Obama actually knows what he is saying.
