Last month, he couldn’t quite remember his daughter’s age. On Friday, Barack Obama couldn’t quite remember when his own birthday was, as Jake Tapper noticed:
Actually…he’ll be turning 50 in three weeks. His birthday is August 4, two days after the debt ceiling deadline. Senior moment?
Well, maybe TOTUS was confused, but the President certainly was, and not just about his birthday. Obama won’t be having to worry too much about Medicare eligibility. Presidents, their wives or widows, and dependent children get access to military hospitals and doctors for all their medical needs for the rest of their lives — and it’s on us.
Got an Obamateurism of the Day? If you see a foul-up by Barack Obama, e-mail it to me at [email protected] with the quote and the link to the Obamateurism. I’ll post the best Obamateurisms on a daily basis, depending on how many I receive. Include a link to your blog, and I’ll give some link love as well. And unlike Slate, I promise to end the feature when Barack Obama leaves office.
