President Bush was much maligned for misspeaking during his eight years in office. Do you remembers when he used the word “internets” in a speech?
Yesterday President Obama moved another step closer to being compared to his predecessor when he used the word “twitters”.
Let’s see if the media has as much furn with Obama as they did with Bush.
At least one journalist already has.
From the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank
This one is sure to be a hit on the Youtubes. In fact, it may be the most important development in presidential web culture since George W. Bush discovered the Internets.
President Obama praised his tech-savvy Russian counterpart at Thursday’s White House news conference, saying that during Medvedev’s “visit to Silicon Valley this week, he visited the headquarters of Twitters[sic], where he opened his own account. I have one as well, so we may be able to finally throw away those ‘red phones’ that have been sitting around for so long.”
Twitters? This sounded like either a nervous condition or a cross between Twitter and Hooters. Actually, there already is a cross between Twitter and Hooters: It’s called HootSuite — from which Sharron Angle, the tea party celebrity hoping to dethrone Harry Reid in Nevada, tweeted this on Thursday: “We have now passed Harry Reid in number of Facebook friends on our “sharronforsenate” page! Let’s keep this growing!”
Who says great political oratory is dead?
Enough of this. Time to get back to my twitters account @donirvine.

P.S. He doesn’t know that are not to be trusted, but now that he is butt-kissin close to them, Twitter MUST be o.k. if they say so. OH BOY!
At least when Bush was in Office, if he said something…you could take it to the bank…it was going to happen just as he said. Medvedev is nothing more than window dressing for Putin, who called Obama “a little boy who thinks he is someone”.
Sure Bush didn’t ‘Twitter’, it would have made him look weak, and By God our enemies feared Bush, while they laugh and snicker at Obama, and not always behind his back. But then we have Biden if everyone though Bush was bad, Biden has taken over the role of the 2nd dolt in command.
The man boy President came back from the G-8 and G-20 summits without anything, his dreams of a One World Economy have vanished as he is the only leader who did not agree with cutting spending. Then vowed to continue because he was not yet finished. Not finished with what? Taking this country down the path to Marxism and chaos!!! Tweet that!
When it comes to speech mistakes, be glad that I’m not the POTUS. The press
would have a field day,every day. I have what my soph.year English teacher
called a needle stuck in the groove stutter. I can’t,I can’t,I can’t get my sentences started properly,,sometimes. I lisp like Guliani due to my teeth. I also transpose the 1st letter of a 2 word phrase & it comes out bass ackwards instead of the correct way.My bride of 30 years says that I should not go on the Radio ’cause folks listening will say ‘What the heck did he just say???’ Did he say Boe Jiden??? lol BUT,when it comes to language that is considered to be non-presidental,such as “whose butt to kick”,,you can take the boy out of the Bronx,but you cannot take the Bronx out of the boy. I can make a Long-shoreman & a Marine Top Sgt.BLUSH.There are times when salty words,applied just right get the point across better that actions ,,or in-actions(as with BHO)BUT the overly-sensitive sissies in the Left-wing press would be flailing their limp wrists as I got my point across,,& NO ONE would NOT understand where I & we of the USA stood on ANY issue when it comes to saving this country from Marxists & the NWO.
Yes…
Every single infraction cost Bush loss of dignity and or respect from the stupid freaks who put UncleBama in. At least we knew what Bush was about…not a whole lot of secrets there. If he had any, the freaks would root them out! Any little miss-statement and these Mal Feasants would be all over the media with it…comedians AND those that were close to you…had to hear it from there too. PITIFUL. He has made his gafs…but until now…who could fault THE ONE. He is too perfect to criticize. If the media didn’t do it…it must be alright. Yeah…the media told you who to vote for too…whether you know it or not!
