Obama, In Charge of Military, Can’t Pronounce Their TITLES

Home - by Lori Ziganto - February 4, 2010 - 17:16 UTC - 125 Comments

Pretty sure he knows it’s not Peace Corpse or Obama Youth Corpse, yet he doesn’t know how to pronounce corpsman properly. He read corpsman as corpse-man. Telling.

When Bush mispronounced nuclear, the left went bananas. It became someone he was bashed for non-stop. Obama’s misspoken plenty of times, but I don’t think I’ve ever been so offended — and I’m not even in the military.

Cassy Fiano is right. Sure, some may (and I’m sure will) say that it seems like nit-picking and acting “just like them”, but it is the military. And he is the Commander in Chief. Shouldn’t he know how to pronounce the rank titles of the men and women who put their very lives on the line for their Country — and at HIS command?

Of course, he does know how to pronounce Photo Op, with our troops.

    Keep in mind: After Fort Hood, the President rushed there to visit with the wounded and the families of those killed. He and his wife arrived there unannounced and without a phalanx of reports. They visited for six hours until they received a call from the White House who instructed them to please leave.

    That’s right. The President and First Lady in question were George W. and Laura Bush. Obama showed up several days later, but never bothered to stop in to visit the injured in the hospital.

    Suck on that, libs.

    Bush didn’t mispronounce nuclear, he just said it with a Texas drawl.

    I’m not offended by his mispronouncing corpsman (since I are one)and he was only saying what the TOTUS told him to say. I’m more offended by his total lack of respect for the flag and this country.

    James Hines,
    I’m sure this might have escaped your notice, but Rush Limbaugh is not the Commander-In-Chief of the US Armed Forces. Rush Limbaugh is not an elected official who has any power over the American People in general or the members of the military specifically. So, what exactly does Rush Limbaugh have to do with Barack Obama being a panty-waste piece of shit who has no business being Commander-in-Chief?

    I guess I’m the only person onthe planet who either knows and or is willing to talk about it, but Obama butchered any number of Muslim words in his speech at Al Azhar University in Cairo. Now that I know how to hyperlink, let me point them out

    Starting at 1:23 of the tape he says Holy KOE-ran a bunch of times in a row. Actually, this word is pronounced more like koor-GAN. He’s way off.

    At 2:21 is the most hilarious error of all when he says “It was her in places like ool oo-ZA” What he is referring to is Al Azhar pronounced ul-UZ-har (with a short u as in putz) He’s completely off about the name of the very place he is speaking. Even more amazing, he is probably mixing up Al Azhar with Al Uzzaa, the name of a pre Islamic goddess of fertility . I Shi’ite you not , Sunnis

There is a lot that individuals in this country can do when they want to affect change. They can contribute money to candidates who are running on a conservative agenda. They can campaign for said candidates. They can VOTE (without having some dimwit from Acorn doing it for them). So what can we do? A hell of a lot.

    Had to cut my last post short. Here is the Wikipedia entry for Al Azhar University and Mosque which shows the proper pronunciation, which is followed by the entry for Al ‘Uzza, which is what O actually pronounced. there is a little accent mark over the last syllable, indicating that is the syllable that is stressed

    James -

    When this site was created Obama was riding a wave of approval, flying high. Now he’s not. I may be deluding myself, but I’d like to think that are efforts at iOTW had a little to do with that, just like we were “corpsemen” in a battle.
    You seem to not be able to understand this. I participate on this site for one reason only – to tear Obama down. And I won’t stop until he is gone.
    Why?
    Because when there were monuments being erected for this 5 month senator/ community organizer I saw a great danger. I saw willingness on the part of some people, such as yourself, to cede more than the usual amount of power to a guy who they believe to be “what they have been waiting for.” It sounds cultish to me. I hate cults. I’m going to keep ridiculing Obama until the former sycophants are no longer ‘IN LOVE.”
    We’ve already flipped the Obama girl. Obama’s popularity is plummeting.

    @ IH8Socialist: “we already know Obozo won’t defend the Constitution of the United States because he doesn’t belive in it.”

    Amen. But there are those of us that have sworn to protect it, “against all enemies; foreign and domestic…,” even though he swore too to defend the constitution (except for the enemies, foreign and domestic part, which isn’t in the presidential oath).

    “…and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

    He’s living up to his oath since it’s to the best of his putrid ability (or desire). IMHO

    @Doc: my father in law was an army corpsman in the Pacific theatre. Sometimes, he would speak as though this job was not as prestigious as a “regular soldier,” until you realized he was shot at as much, and sometimes more than regular infantry, but was too busy to shoot back or even take decent cover.

    The first thing we were told when we got in country was “don’t stand out”. It seemed that the enemy targeted Officers, NCO’s, Radiomen and corpsmen.
    It’s common knowledge that if you take out any of the above, you greatly reduce the effectiveness of the entire unit. We DID NOT have red crosses on our helmets (WWII)we carried AND USED the same weapons as the Marines. The enemy never really knew who was who. That’s probably one of the reasons I’m still alive today.

    The difference between Bush’s problem with “nuclear” and Ojerko’s problem with “Corpsman” is very simple. Bush has a speech impediment that makes it difficult to pronounce the word “nuclear” correctly. Ojerko’s problem with pronouncing the word “Corpsman” is his malignant case of ignorance.

    I hadn’t heard that about Laura and W going to Ft Hood. And what possible motivation could the White House have for asking them to leave? That is so in keeping with the characters of the two men and their wives.
    As for the mispronunciation, he was reading the teleprompter and never gave it, or anything else, a thought.

    Well, it appears that there was a missed confession in the “Demon sheep” thread by Hines. If refelcted upon properly, it would support the old addage of why we have two ears and one mouth in order that we would hear/think twice before speaking once:

    “The word here is HYPROCRITE of the lowest form, and name calling as you do..It takes one to know one……….and you’re a bigger one than me.”

    A Freudian confession nonetheless.

    What country am I living in? The dumbest seaman recruit to ever swab a deck in the Navy knows how to pronounce “Corpsman” and so does the dumbest jarhead private to ever serve in the Corps.

    And forty years ago, even the village idiots could clearly distinguish between a Bronze Star and a Medal of Honor and every last one of them knew that no American was within 500 miles of Auschwitz when it was liberated. When I was in high school, I would have laughed at anyone who said his uncle helped liberate Auschwitz.

    And yet none of this appears to make the slightest impression on about half of our “citizens” So again, what country am I living in?

    “”I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

    He hasn’t performed on any of it yet, so maybe it was just a misunderstanding.

    I just want him to pronounce Qur’an and Al Azhar properly, especially when he’s feigning perfect pronunciation of Arabic.

    BTW, he also butchered the Arabic word zakat which refers to the Muslim duty to pay 10% of your income to the Muslim community. It should sound like Zeckett — he said “saka”

  125. [...] I’m pretty sure Obama knows it’s not Peace Corpse or Obama Youth Corpse, yet he doesn’t know how to pronounce corpsman properly. He read corpsman as corpse-man in his remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast. Telling.When Bush mispronounced nuclear, the left went bananas. It became someone he was bashed for non-stop. Obama’s misspoken plenty of times, but I don’t think I’ve ever been so offended — and I’m not even in the military.Cassy Fiano is right. Sure, some may (and I’m sure will) say that it seems like nit-picking and acting “just like them”, but it is the military. And he is the Commander in Chief. Shouldn’t he know how to pronounce the rank titles of the men and women who put their very lives on the line for their Country — and at HIS command?Allahpundit points out that perhaps it was the teleprompter being fed phonetically.  Three times. Perhaps, because I do suspect he was off teleprompter when he did know how to pronounce Photo Op (with our troops.)(cross-posted at iowntheworld.com) [...]
