This is a bit shocking, could he have been confused with one of his POW speeches?


I think that you are onto what really happened. A mis-speak, nothing more. Sometimes a future remark sneaks it's way into a present statament; he might have been thinking of a part of his speech that would have related to his POW days.

Believe me, it's not hard to mix up words. I've done tons of public speaking, and if you have to do it over and over day after day it is very easy to mis-speak. Given his age and his rigorous schedule, I can totally understand the mistake.

Everyone picked up on it; it's obvious from the looks on their faces.

given his age you can understand? if he is going to be the next president, then his age had better not be having an effect on his mind and ability to think clearly or say the right words!!!! that would be scary to have a president who bumbles because he is to old to keep things straight!now i think this was an honest mistake and nothing should be read into it besides it just being a mistake, but saying it happened as a result of his age has scary implacations.

lol, that's how you respond to me? by linking a definition of post traumatic srtess syndrome? how old are you? are you trilling, because it's hard to believe you are serious. once again, can someone tell me how this helps anyone have confidence in him as a leader? if what you asay is correct then he has deep issues and needs therapy. i would prefer my president making decisions in a rational, logical way, not making decisions because he has mental problems over-lapping into his performance!

Am i to understand that the potential President of the United States is to serve in office while suffering PTSD? Shouldn't that be like a 'disqualifying' factor? That "disorder" is not a laughing matter and can have far-reaching effects on behavior and express itself in anti-social behavior! Such a diagnosis certainly would be pertinent to explore fully, since it may be even further exacerbated by advanced decrepitude....

Sorry, I shouldn't even go there...

By the way - I'm NOT an OBAMA supporter

Oh yeah, it is very easy to mis-speak, especially if you're of his age!

I'd say to him: Ol' man.. you've done a good job in your career, but now please do yourself and the US (and the whole world even) a favor - get retired, go home and let some younger and fresher mind do the presidential job!

do you work for fox news? because this is the type of dirty trick of propagenda i have come to expect from them, but i don't see people actually try it when speaking directly to me very much. see what the poster has done here people? by implying that they take their hat off to all those who have served, in the manner done here, the poster is implying that i do not. this is irresponsible, and non-conducive to a learning enviroment. you said you tip your hat in a direct way that can be linked to this mistake, and THAT is what is being questioned here, not a respect for him because he served, a respect for him because of a mistake he made from serving...there is a HUGE difference as you well know. Boo on you for muddying the waters on an intelligent discussion.

It had nothing to do with PTSD. It has to do with being a human being and making a mis-speak.

How many of you out there have done public speaking? Now, for those one in a thousand, how many times have you done it on a campaign schedule? Zero. Not a one of you.

That is why Obama stutters and stammers so much; he is on the verge of burnout also.

And he didnt mean to say it.


You know what is more disgusting than you calling a man who has served his country so long and so well an "old scum bag"? The fact that there are people here who starred you for it. That and the fact that the mods are allowing garbage like that to live.

I thought "The Madness Ends Today". Apparently that means only for anti-Obama comments.
