Outgoing Whitehouse press secretary Robert Gibbs admitted today that the White House committed a terrible blunder with last week’s state of the union address.
“As it turns out, we accidentally loaded the wrong speech into the teleprompter. We actually used the campaign stump speech from 2008. Frankly, I’m surprised it took everybody so long to figure this out. But we are a little embarrassed that none of us caught it either,” Gibbs read from a teleprompter.
House Speaker John Boehner (R – Ohio) said this helped explain why he felt like he had heard it all before.
“Like many people I found myself scratching my head. He was talking like he wasn’t responsible for the last two years or somehow hadn’t been in office yet. Now it makes complete sense. Of course, the mess is still his fault and we’re still planning to pound him over it,” said Boehner.
“I’d also like to take this opportunity to renew my challenge to the President to have a cage match to settle our budget differences,” said Boehner.
Some felt that the White House’s mistake was actually a brilliant strategic move.
“This totally lets him off the hook for anything he said. It’s as if he never made that disastrous speech. He’s just so smart he runs circles around all of us. We love our Dear Leader,” said former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Maoist, CA).
Given the scale of such a mistake, some were also questioning whether Hillary Clinton had actually moved forward with her space-alien abduction scheme that had been uncovered by Wikileaks some months ago.
Republican political consultant Dick Morris said that the signs are very troubling.
“Whoever gave that speech last week didn’t seem to realize that it was the standard stump speech from the campaign. It’s hard to believe that a President of the United States would forget a speech he gave so many times – especially when all the guy does is give speeches,” said Morris.
“This makes me think that Obama has already been replaced by a senseless space alien stand-in and that phase one of Hillary’s plan to capture the White House in 2012 is already under way. Republicans beware,” said Morris.
When reached for comment, Ms. Clinton responded that she was, “too busy trying to engage islamofascist rebels in Egypt in meaningful, rational dialogue,” and could not comment on domestic affairs at this time.
