…asks John Romano at Big Hollywood.
I’ve been searching for the video of Obama accidentally reading Irish PM Brian Cowen’s speech yesterday. He even thanks himself at the end! Apparently his teleprompter went loopy.
If this were GWB, the video would be everywhere, yet I can’t find a clip on the Internet of a public press conference that took place yesterday. It will come out, but this is amazing.
Not so amazing with a fawning press trying to protect him. His update notes that this isn’t the first time:
Update: 10:30 am PST: Still no video released. This is the third Obama gaffe with no video. First the wrong door incident at the White House, then the helicopter head bump and now this. A dangerous precedent is being set here. If any other politician made this kind of blunder it would be everywhere.
I wonder if our friends on the left can explain this?
Well I feel safer

What will happen when Gitmo closes? Where will the terrorists go? Where will we find them? Apparently all we have to do is look out the window:
Holder told reporters at the Justice Department that the administration’s review, made on a case-by-case basis, would determine whether the prisoners need to be put on trial or whether they can be released.
“For those who are in that second category, who can be released, there are a variety of options that we have. Among them is the possibility that we could release them into this country,” he said.
After Gateway pundit’s jaw is picked up from the ground he reminds us:
Honestly, what could possibly go wrong?
Stop the ACLU has video with apologies to Mr. Rogers.
Hey I hear there is one house in Bill Ayers neighborhood that isn’t getting much use now.
Update: The WSJ weighs in, along with Hotair.
Update 2: Captain Ed:
I find myself growing nostalgic for the days when American government kept Americans safe, instead of the terrorists.
The head of AIG who came out of retirement for $1 to try to clean up the mess there tangled with congress yesterday and the result wasn’t pretty…for congress:
He also proved himself a cut above those who aimed to make cheap headlines at his expense. I’d pay to see him question Congress on its role in the economic mess.
Most important, he revealed the dirty little secret that much of Washington knew and approved of AIG’s promises to pay retention bonuses to members of its financial products unit. That revelation came early in Liddy’s testimony and punctured the hot air balloon.
Liddy’s matter-of-fact claim directly implicates the Federal Reserve, which he called the “gatekeeper” for the 80% of AIG owned by the taxpayers. He also said Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner knew of the bonus plan nearly two weeks before it became public.
Over to you, President Obama
Between this and the Dodd yes I did no I didn’t twist, the Fannie Mae Bonius’ and the questions about the actual congressional votes this is turning into a debacle and a half for the administration.
My economic plan is looking better and better.
