MEDIA IGNORE OBAMA’S CATHOLIC SCHOOL GAFFE IN IRELAND. Evidently it doesn’t matter whether Obama has a working teleprompter or not, he still manages to gaff away. This time it looks like he ticked everyone in Northern Ireland off. We wonder why jolly old Chris Tingle didn’t mention this one?

The great divider strikes again. In the British Isles most schools after elementary grades are private. And to get into college they Have to pss mmmmO levels I believe, no matterWhat school they attended.
Nothing to see, move along. Don't worry the muslim didn't say anything to be worried about.
The msm won't go any where near this story. Those of the catholic faith need to be asking what in the hell he meant and why he said it.
His children are in a private school of his and the wookies choice, but he wants others to not do the same.
Has anyone seen the violence going on in the public schools O'Reilly has been showing? Catholic schools, Christian schools are generally safe with teachers not fearing for their lives.
If I may wax Kanye-esque: Obama hates Christians.
Obama's hostility to private education is well known. In fact, his hostility to anything private (schools, businesses, FOX, private clubs, etc.) is also well known. As a statist, The One wants everything and everyone under the umbrella of of the govenrment.
Too, he's beholden to the teacher's unions and the teacher's unions don't like private schools either.
I'd say that is it exactly. The perfect big government prog. Especially since he and his family live within the private elite bubble. Last I checked the girls attend private school and Obama hasn't played a public course in years. Socialism is for the people not the socialists.
And Obama attended private colleges and law school. At least heclaims to have attended them.
As Michelle Antoinette would say: “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”. That is, IF she had any class or real education, and could speak French
It wasn't a gaffe. But, yeah, the US media isn't going to touch it.
Yeah it wasn't a gaffe. He meant to say that. The fact that is being ignored is another issue.
I would also ignore and cover-up his gaffes if I had invested so much in how brilliant he is and how supposedly stupid Bush is. He sometimes says the most amazingly leftist things when not shackled to his teleprompter.
Correct. It was not a gaffe. It may have been a mistake to say it - and I say "may" only because he does know full well that the MSM has his back.
They know full well what to say and what not to say. Sometimes they tip us off, but often no one catches on. The most common tip-off is the "it's a good start" comment in re a bill that pushes some sort of fascism on us. After all the "oh stop it, no one wants to take your guns away" comments, someone will come out with the good start comment and no one follows up with the seemingly obvious Q of "if this is the start, then what is the end goal?"
Schools are another one. Of course he has a problem with religious, or any other schools that suggests that there is "another god before me". The very essence of liberalism/fascism is the requirement that there be no other alternatives, or even the contemplation thereof.
And of course the MSM will not touch this. They agree with him. He stated a self-evident fact. Reporting it would be akin to reporting that Obmana said that water runs downhill.
More like his speechwriter gaffed.
Right. Either that or saying what he believes qualifies as a mistake.
