I always thought Lincoln was the first Republican president so perhaps that was what he meant to say.

If on the other hand, one or more of the government's tentacles cleaned up the truth (rather than a mistake) instead, altering it to be deliberately false, THEN we should be complaining...

One doesn't "clean up" a transcript.
You clean up your speech BEFORE you give it, especially when you are the President of the US and have the best and brightest speech writers at your disposal.

Can you believe this is the lame excuse given?

You are right - transcripts ARE NOT cleaned up - they are supposed to be exactly what was said.

How can people not know this?

Such a gaffe would have brought huge amounts of ridicule and derision on George W. Bush, but in the case of Obama the media yawned.

Actually, they did more than yawn; government-funded PBS has altered the transcript of the President's speech, removing the offending comment.

Amazingly stupid liberal media...

They do it to their history programs constantly, why not a Presidential speech?


PBS =
Propaganda and Bull Sh*t

Sorry guys you simply betraying your biases.

The PBS simply published that which was given out by the WH. They then updated when the WH did.

You have some reasonable proof this is not what happened?

Nice try at deflection. Poor but nice. I guess you know that the reason I am on this thread is to catch things like this to call others' attention to.

I see that at least one lefty has accepted the story as told by PBS. Did you by any chance not listen to the speech that night. I did and I heard those words that are talked about in American Spectator. I should feel sorry for you but I just can't do it.

Oh, they know but they can't afford to have the truth get too far out of hand.

I had to vote for Bush both times because of what was offered up against him. I promised myself that if the Dems offered any more socialists after they nominated McGovern I would vote for anyone else. I haven't seen one offering by them that wasn't a socialist since that year, 1972.

The warmer came close to winning because so many people thought Clinton was so good. BTW, I didn't vote for Clinton for the same reason as I skipped the rest. Now Jon Carry was too far left leaning and had lied so many times about Vietnam so I just had to go Bush.
