This IS gonna be fun.
I’ll start the guessing at mis-spoke-alogs.
IF we’re not including outright lies and deceit,
12.
It’s more than a welcome change from “incentivize.” I’ve lost count on that one and a few other verbal community-organasms. Where is William Safire when we need him?
In the meantime, the New York Times has soiled itself with an attempted descent into the grubby world of free enterprise.
“Is it just me, but is anyone else incensed that a news service — to which we’re already paying an incredible sum —peddled to me today for $150 a 1,200-word oped piece from the president?”
The Caterpiller thing; when Obama “mispoke” when he claimed the CEO said he would rehire if porkulous passed
I wonder how long it will be before the ‘confusion’ about the VA NOT being involved in obamacare will bite these boys in the rear? It is pretty hard to believe that shoving the VA healthcare under the secretary of the treasurer, Geitner, is going be the same. In fact, if it were the same why do it?
Freddy…..They screw with veterans VA healthcare at their VERY great peril. But I would not put it past them.
Recently in my local paper on line some moron was commenting on how “Citizens deserve the same health care veterans get” I responded that I found comparing veterans with freeloaders, welfare kings & queens, and illegals was beyond insulting. Vets have actually earned it. And they better not forget it. I have found, through personal experiance, that the VA can indeed be a slow ponderous Govt. agency. But it is not like the DMV or anything else. Go to a VA hospital and you will find that nearly every employee who is directly involved with vets is really caring, from cleaning staff to head administrators. It is when you go outside the clinic and hospital environment that you seem to find the really screwed up ones.
Robert Gibbs is really Janet Reno in drag!
This game is much too easy.

Well put.
Here a clip of Obambi mentioning his “muslim faith” to ABC’s George Stephanopolus.
Did he “misspeak” or inadventently let the truth escape?
http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=5745258
When he took the oath of office.
I’ve lost count of the times Obama has said something like this:
“The ___________(your organization here) is in favor of ______________(plan of the day here).”
It seems like we find out after these statements that they weren’t for his plan.
“oath of office”.
Hate to quibble, but I took the same essential oath (without the title) and actually meant it.
What are you trying to say?
With Obambi and Stephanopolus at the same mike the truth would indeed be inadvertent-Allah be Praised
better put in his bitter wifey for saying “in my liftime this is the first time I’m proud of my Country” what a Boitch.
And don’t forget that Michelle Obama “misspoke” when she said “For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country” in TWO DIFFERENT SPEECHES GIVEN AT TWO DIFFERENT VENUES AND CAUGHT ON CAMERA BOTH TIMES. I guess she “misspoke” twice while READING FROM HER WRITTEN SPEECH THAT CONTAINED THOSE VERY WORDS.
“…let me be clear…”
No need to try and clarify anymore, we’ve been shown time and time again that you’re a liar and what is piercingly clear is your agenda.
Good time for a reread of either or both.
Don’t forget the “King of Misspoke”, Joe Biden …
They seem to have been keeping him hidden away for the last 2 months or so …
Wow! This could rank up there with the infamous Dukakis “oversight”, i.e. when, during his presidential campaign, he forgot to sign up for federal funding for the Boston Harbor cleanup, leaving the surrounding communities to pick up the full tab.
Naturally, as a good Democrat, he was rewarded with a cushy teaching position at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
A failure teaching new failures?
Haven’t you all heard?
“Competence is boring”.
Does the “Misspokeometer” come with a Biden “how deep is the foot in his mouth” gauge?
Who is Miss Poke and what is the White House using her for?
They don’t let Hlldebeast and Bidet out at the same time, too much to deal with. He hasn’t been seen or heard from since he crashed the “beer summit” maybe the effects of Near Beer havn’t wore off yet.
“It’s above my pay grade” he meant to say…
I’m a dumba$$ and don’t know squat.
If we say “MISVOTE” do we get a “DO OVER”????
Can everyone who voted for him say they had a “MISVOTE” and go back and change it now? Hindsight is 20/20.
Sherman, Fire up the wayback machine! I need to go back and re-speak, something I misspoke. And while I’m at it I have some investments to make. Send me back to say… 1976 or so.
This Obama Admin is like watching a Stage Production of “The King and I”…except every character on stage has a different script of various other plays they are reading and performing from. What a Cluster &*%#…
Luckydogg, You beat the Auggiedog with Misvote, because I was long winded. I shouldn’t have misspoke.
Aide: Obama misspoke when he said uncle liberated Auschwitz
Obama Concedes He Misspoke
Great minds think alike……….
That would be a good Misspoke Auggie dog……..
Actually that might be fun to try.Use plays that have some theme in common.
It’s a Dog thing only You & I would understand………..
57 states?
oh and how his birth was related to the March at Selma
Why not pile on:
Cominskey Field
“the police acted stupidly”
Translation……
I’m a racist idiot.
typical white person
Obummer misspoke when he said his dad came to America on a flight sponsored by the Kennedy family.
Hildebeast misspoke when she said she was named after Sir Edmund after his ascent of Mt. Everest.
our last dem president had “bimbo eruptions” when he would get caught with his pen in the wrong place. this dem pres “misspoke” when he gets gaught in an out and out lie. if that blue dress had not fallen out from under bill’s secretaries bed, monica would still be a vast right wing conspiracy to smear po ole bill. the same way as if those axelrod emails hadn’t been turned in to fox by citizens who smelled something fishy in getting them, the white house would still be telling us and congrass it was all just an innocent misunderstanding.
Obama: “I did not misspake! I just sometimes get my mords wixed!”
I wonder when the MSM is going to start prosecuting the Obama administration the way they went after Nixon?
“I can no more disown him (Reverend Wright) than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother”
… said shortly before throwing said Reverend under the bus.
Definitely misspoke there!
How can someone who gets all his words from a teleprompter “misspeak” so much?
Congress does this all the time. Listen to them around budget time when they start talking about “entitlements”. VA health care and disability compensation is considered by them to be an ENTITLEMENT, the same as some welfare queen getting her monthly check.
I have heard this for many years, and it is always disgusting.
This Miss speak is just crap and usually planned. They can do their “propaganda” and then say they misspoke. It is the same when a newspaper puts in a retraction. The damage or gain is already done and the retraction is put back on page( you name it) where no one pays attention. They know their gain was more than they lost when they “misspoke”.
In a way, I kinda miss Bill Clinton.
He was so much more artful in his dishonesty; when I learned how to discern a prevarication from an ordinary lie, for example, it was Bubba who schooled me.
Not so with Hope-a-Dope and his crew. So very clumsy, they have only a fraction of Clinton’s talent for disingenuousness:
1. The Standard Whopper (e.g., “Nobody making less than $250,000 a year will see their taxes increased”);
2. The Pirouette Whopper (e.g., “I haven’t raised anyone’s taxes” right after authorizing a massive tax increase on tobacco); and
3. The Mega-Whopper (e.g., anything following the preparatory phrase, “Now let me be clear…”).
I say we retire the man in 2012, and give him a job he can handle: a Burger King franchise.
Come now. Burger King’s slogan is: Have It Your Way.
Do you believe he’s capable of serving it any other way than his way?
As long as there are a few people who don’t believe he is pushing socialism he will have to keep misspeaking. When he thinks he is fooling no-one he will be able to stop misspeaking and talk truthfully to the socialists among us. Then and only then will we be able to determine if there are more of them than of us.
