  • Michael as in Michael JACKSON? LMAO. I've always thought that maybe Mudshell was a he/she. Now I know. "O" confirmed it. He'll blame the misquote on a few of the LCD lights being burned out on his telepromptor. Or say Bush sabataged the telepromptor. Either way, this moron can't even READ and he has an affirmative action degree. Who woulda thought?

    • Agreed. No matter who he was talking about it was a gaffe. However if he really meant his wife it is just ridiculously funny.

  • The left has invited all this scrutiny with Obama's words because of their obsessive mockery of Bush's gaffes over the years. I don't want to hear anything else about Bush's gaffes, Obama messes up just as much if not more.

  • He was addressing Admiral Mike Mullen and his wife Debra; and did accidentally refer to Michelle as "Michael". He obviously "uh...." figured out he messed up. Kind of a silly thing to waste media space on; don't you think? I'm not a fan of the President, but calling him out on vernacular technicality is the farthest from my mind among his failures.

    • Your Commander in Chief addressing a senior officer in front of other officers and probably enilsted. That man should be refered to as Admiral, not Michael. I really don't GAF what he calls his wife.

      • Right. This was a bit less formal than it should've been. Unless he was referring to his wife, then it was the other gaffe. He's not one much for protocol.

        • So true. He and his staff have screwed up big time on protocol. He clearly doesn't even know what proper protocol IS. Remeber the National flag hung upside down?

        • Exactly. If was referring to Moohips, then fcuk him, he's proven that he's stupid again. If that's the case, she's gonna ream his grommet for that when he gets home.

  • More proof of this man possessing super genius. Beyond us mere mortals that can remember what year it is and our wife's name.

  • Urgh... Can we be certain he was referring to his linebacker/vulcan looking significant other here? I can believe it, sure, but is it possible there is a different person he is talking about? Some general or somebody? I know he isn't hung up on Larry anymore, right? Rahm is hitting that now that he runs the old Daley machine. I don't want to be misunderstood here, like giving this piece of turd the benefit of the doubt, but if somebody hears my diatribe on this and counters with a solid defense, proving this isn't a gaffe alluding to president gunwalker's alternative lifestyle choice, well, I try avoiding that sort of thing. Admiral Mike Mullen has just stepped out of the job of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, is that maybe who he is referring to?

    • That might be, but it shows a remarkable lack of class to refer to an Admiral as "Michael" - I really doubt they are on a first-name basis.

      Nope. I think the truth finally came out about his wife. Er - husband...?
