Obama said he fired Inspector General Gerald Walpin without 30 days notice because he was so “confused” and “disoriented” that there was reason to question “his capacity to serve.”
Does not knowing left from right count?:
It gives me no joy to play speculative little “what if Obama were a Republican” gotcha-games, but seriously, how many times a day would you be forced to watch this clip if Bush had missed his mark twice in the same press conference?

PRESENT!
Pathetic. 5 months and he still has figured out the doors? We’re in a lot of trouble!
He’s just so busy coming up with new ideas on how to screw America that he can’t be expected to remember such trivial things. Move along.
Is it possible that the bucket on his head is invisible?
He’s a centrist! He’s trying to get the view of both sides!

Gotta love this.
The commenter on cnn are just as looney as the ones on kos. Oh thee disgrace of someone having nothing better to do than to mention this. Oh he is so busy he doesn’t have time to care. Oh my don’t you have something better to do?
Well since your pos has destroyed our economy our safety and our way of life, no, not really. Besaides the clown is a bigger boob than bush, dumber and with bigger ears.
Maybe Mr. TeletubbiePrompter man thinks the Korean flag is prettier.
He he he — I said boob.
In fairness, I admit that this is not news. This is simple human error with no loss to anyone except 5 seconds of walking time.
But I’m a small, petty man in some ways. I hate Obama because he’s a socialist, and because I hate him, I find it amusing when he does ANYTHING that makes him look less than perfectly competent, dignified and in control.
It’s pure degenerate schadenfreude on my part.
But at least I’m not a @#$%ing socialist.
Actually Harvey you had it right the first time: this IS news, and if it were Boooooosh who had done the same thing, it would have been played 24/7, with additional mockage from the late-night crowd, the Sunday morning crowd, and SNL (are they still on the air?)
Liberal Hypocrisy just blows my mind.
ABC, MSNBC, CBS, CNN: “Do you see how elegantly Obama switched back to the other podium? Such alacrity and cunning we have probably not seen since Napoleon’s Battle of Lodi, or perhaps Disraeil’s passage of the 1867 Reform Bill. Michael Phelps must surely envy his suppleness and muscular flexibility, black panthers are hanging their heads in shame at his dexterity and grace of movement. Theologians are almost certainly pondering whether this is a sign that He is, indeed, the Second Coming of Christ.
“We’ll be back after this brief commercial break and the news crews and I change our underwear.”
BTW did you notice the the South Korean guy, who lives on the other side of Planet Earth, noticed the mixup way before Obama did?
Obama is confused and disoriented and I question his capacity to serve.
#11, who with a functioning brain doesn’t question his capacity to “serve”? Of course I add the quotes, because he seems to be doing a lot of ordering around where he has no authority, and plundering and blundering through our economy and treasury. If we truly are his bosses and he serves us, then we need to take our employee aside and tell him he’s summarily dismissed and will be removed from the premises by armed men.
Anyone know a Battalion of Marines we can use? Buckethead will be simple enough, but the SS (oddly an appropriate abbreviation given contemporary circumstances) might pose a problem.
This was actually Obummer’s audition for American Idol. Like so many other bucket heads, he had to be told, “Yo, dawg, other door. Other door. Other door.”
The funniest part was when the So. Korean leader said he had faith in America to come to So. Korea’s aid if No. Korea threatened So.Korea. Evidently he’s never heard of So. Vietnam.
Mayhaps he should be fired:
Because he can’t find his birth certificate
Because he sat for 20 years in the congregation of someone who hates 65% of this country.
Because he allowed his campaign to maline the wives and children of his opposition
Because he has never run anything, except his mouth and his nose
Because he chose for vice president the only person more incompetent than he is
Because he’s managed to bankrupt us, our children and our children’s children and maybe even their childrens, chldrens, children
Because he is a socialist, communist, facist and any other ist you can think of
Because he has had to float more appointment to cabinet positions than any other president due to the fact that the only people he knows in Washington are tax dodgers and criminals.
I don’t know, it seems to me someone ought to fire him before he hurts himself trying to walk through the Rose Garden.
… Wait, didn’t Bush do something similar when meeting with a Chinese leader? He went the wrong way when trying to leave and couldn’t open the doors?
I don’t seem to remember that being played 24/7. It probably would’ve gone unremembered if it weren’t for how funny his confused face is.

Obama’s… a little less so.
