The White House tour is lame......but the Capital is incredible. Tell her to contact her Rep. about it....she may even get to ride on the underground train (goes from one wing to the other). I'm not sure they still give the access they used to,but the Capital is much more interesting than the WH. The WH tour is pretty abbreviated because of security.

I'm pretty sure that they do still let you ride the train. I know I got to when I went.

No it isn't an issue he misspoke. He doesn't know anything about the naval medics, or the military in general, and he repeats what the teleprompter tells him to say. We now know what the sideways cocked head means, the teleprompter has new information for the president to repeat.

An understandable mistake from the amateur hour crew.

Again, for the crowd who used Bush's mispronunciations as evidence of his stupidity, I will understand being consistent and calling the president stupid.

If someone posts anything about Obama "Oh he isn't as bad as bush."And I always try to back it up with reference......

If someone posts something about Sarah Palin "Oh she is an idiot."And I am wrong, how?

If someone posts something about one side its "oh they are all wrong".And I give my reasons as to why I think they are wrong.

Don't tell me you don't perpetuate this, as that would be the lie of lies. I posted up some shit that I thought was retarded in an effort to show that government itself is becoming retarded and more and more useless. Then they get blasted by the media for all the side pickers to argue about which makes the country as a whole more retarded.You posted one instance where the president mispronounced a word. Whether he read it or not. Then you post his press secretary lightheartedly but accurately explaining the opposition. Then you post aq vid of a retard advocating abiolishing the use of the word "retard". Petty yes.

Both sides want the status quo Hawg. My money pays for this guy to crack jokes? Fuck that, not on my dime. I didn't like when Bush did it, I don't like when any politician does it. I don't pay for them to be comedians, I pay them to do their fucking job.For now on anybody that collects a federal check will hereby not be able to joke or even crack a smile while punched-in.........

He's doing his job, he is answering questions and doing so with a smile on his face. So what? You want to talk about petty......... getting mad because he cracked a joke while doing his job, all because you claim to sign his check? Well I pay my taxes too. I have paid quite a lot in the past, and I say that my judgement that he is doing nothing wrong nullifies your objection. And I will take it that the resounding yawn, regarding the reaction to Gibbs' joke mean that not many of those that ALSO pay his check share your disdain for humor in the workplace.

I should re-title this since evidently several of you didn't watch the other retarded videos....No, I watched them all.....

Ignorance is bliss, eh? It has seriously never occurred to you that every President since the advent of the teleprompter has used it? Even Bush did, although it may not have seemed like it.

It's more than that. When Bush misspoke, he either said something completely retarded or looked like an idiot trying to say it. See, for example:

Not so with Obama mispronouncing a word in a speech. That's the difference.

I am fully aware that all presidents have used them, just not for things like addressing a 6th grade class.

If you can't contend with free styling it to elementary kids.... you are a talking head that repeats what the teleprompter tells you to say.

I though he was different, but I keep hearing he's the same as anyone else.

He's dumb, because he's doing his job...........

I would never want to be someone's press sec, too much dancing around the facts.
