Wallace slips, says ‘President Bush’ when referring to ‘President Obama.’

Introducing a segment on Fox News Sunday this morning, host Chris Wallace began, “President Bush makes a big push for GOP support,” but then he caught himself, saying “Did I say President Bush? President Obama.” “Old habits die hard,” added Wallace, commenting on his mistake. Watch it:

    The GOP don’t want to “support” anything because they have no new ideas and clearly have nothing for America. In their march toward the fringes of both politics and society, obstructing Democrats’ efforts to fix Bush’s Republican mess will be their only strategy.

    Chris Wallace is an airhead.

    yup, i can imagine being a paid nuthugger for 43rd would be a hard habit to break since it’s his freakin’ meal ticket.

    It just reminds me of how glad I am that he is in Texas! Thank God!

    GOP governors press Congress to pass stimulus bill

    NEW YORK (AP) — Most Republican governors have broken with their GOP colleagues in Congress and are pushing for passage of President Barack Obama’s economic aid plan that would send billions to states for education, public works and health care.

    personally, i feel for the upcoming election cycle, the DNC should run clips of Faux news trumpeting how repukelicans are resistant to any overtures made by obama. Superimposed over the clips should be “non-partisan”? at the end have a voice over stating, “republican obstructionism and partisanship is rewarded. is this kind of behavior what we need in these troubling ecenomic times”?


  7. Mel says:

    Well, why don’t any of them do anything about mobbing and gangstalking? And why isn’t this ever on the news when there is so much information about it on the Internet? Even a book Mobbing in the American Workplace.


  8. CParis says:

    Is this really news? It’s like writing 2008 on things for the first couple of weeks of 2009. Happens every year.


  9. katy says:

    oh boy… chinless mcconnel on face the nation…

    bob schieffer wants to know what HE thinks about daschel’s tax snafu…


  10. katy says:

    oh… and he doubts the senate will pass the “stimulus”…

    still with the “housing problem”…

    THAT’S WHAT TARP FUNDS ARE FOR!!!

    they just ignore the facts… “honey bee insurance… hahaha”…


  11. katy says:

    yea… paybacks are hell.


  12. katy says:

    senator gregg has promised chinless that if he takes the commerce job it will not change the seat in the senate…

    so, a senator can direct a governor to do that?
    appoint another repug?

    now it’s schumer’s turn…


  13. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    hey, proud to be a retard,

    at what point did you and your assclown friends give up the premise of “support the president”, “repsect the office of the president” and “he’s everyone’s president”?


  14. katy says:

    delusion is quite curious… leads some to believe things that are just not true…


  15. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    poor little proud to be a retard,
    the fact that the democrats in illinois impeached him and the democrats in the senate tried to block his senate appointee instead of covering up for blago like repukeliscums would have really fries your arse, doesn’t it?

    you-have-nothing!


  16. katy says:

    “the numbers are huge” – schieffer

    “the economic mess we’re in is huger” – schumer…

    i love it.

    Hi John Kerry:
    Stick around why don’t ya. I am just starting a crab corn chowders. It is hand pick real blue crab not that pasteurized crap.


  19. Bozo The Neoclown says:

    actually, i love it when “proud” to be a retard shows up in “barack obomber” drag after i hand his arse to him on a silver platter, with a carrot as part of the presentation.


  20. katy says:

    so, dbadass, do you ship?

    my mouth is watering just thinking about fresh crab…


  21. katy says:

    holy crap… schieffer is trumpeting the steele/gop …
    i can’t… finish… too much b.s. to wade through…
    he is gushing though…


  22. katy says:

    barney frank is doing great on abc now…
    wouldn’t let george brush off the “war” spending…
    repugs hypocrisy – no spending for roads and schools but always want some for cold war weapons that are not needed…

    Proud Says:
    Thanks for agreeing with me katy, finally a wingnut with some sense.

    Prod, you’ve got a loooooong way to go to demonstrate that you’ve got “sense”.


  24. ralph the wonder llama says:

    Anyone here think that Prod can explain what about Gov. patterosn’s process of selection Hillary Clinton’s replacement struck him as “bumbling”?

    Most observers gave Gov. Patterson high marks for navigating the treacherous waters of the Kennedy lobby successfully.

    And Blago’s pick, while inappropriate to many, was conducted with lightning-fast efficiency, and resulted in a seated Senator for Illinois.

    Y’know, I’m beginning to think Cattle Prod just isn’t serious when it posts…


  25. dbadass says:

    katy @24:
    Ever been to Crisfield?
    Like so many other fisheries the days of the big jimmies of my youth seem to be gone.


  26. Shayne says:

    John Kerry finally found a topic he’s not afraid of.

    Once in love, always in love. Thank you, JoeTheTraitor


  28. celtic cynic says:

    Whoops, forgot to add Chris Wallace.


  29. katy says:

    dbadass – i am landlocked here in s.central illinois… well, the Little Salt Creek runs through my neighborhood… at times…

    have traveled to east coast, in ‘78 b.c. (before children), and love it… drove up the coast from outer banks to new york – final destination was sister’s home in poughkeepsie, then back to illinois…

    love the seafood though…
    i understand the supply is dwindling… imagine that, huh…


  30. jdkrheum says:

    As much as I am not a fan of Chris Wallace, I actually don’t think this is a big deal, so early in the new presidency. Rachel Maddow actually caught herself making the same mistake on her show.


  31. ralph the wonder llama says:

    dbadass, my wife disagrees, but for me, Alaskan king crab, even Dungeness can’t compoete with the delectable flavor of freshly-taken blue claw backfin.

    If Troll JK doesn’t want, I’ll have his portion.


  32. Helen Rainier says:

    I agree with several others — much ado about nothing — and not such a biggie. If this happens in 6 months, then it’s a big deal, but not yet.


  33. EugeneDebs says:

    Proud Says:

    Proud you are just an ignorant punk. Your trolling makes you look just as stupid and desperate as you are. No wonder decent people shun you. Do the world a favor and go play in heavy traffic


  34. EugeneDebs says:

    ProudMoron Says:

    Thanks for agreeing with me katy, finally a wingnut with some sense.
    <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

    She doesnt agree with you moron. No reasonable person would agree with you. None of the reasonable people here are as stupid as you. None are as brainwashed and pathetic as you. Isnt it time for Rush to tell you what you think today?


  35. dbadass says:

    ralph you indeed may be my doppelganger. I will admit though that up until recently I also had a ten pound case of king crab in the freezer. It is such a bummer when the cases break and we can’t ship them if you know what I mean…


  36. katy says:

    YOU CAN SHIP THEM TO ME!!!


  37. Jane E. Schneider says:

    Katy, your sister’s in Poughkeepsie? If you ever head that way again, Wayne and I are close by…

    dbadass, any leftovers, you know where to drop them off.


  38. Jane E. Schneider says:

    Back on topic, I don’t think Wallace’s slip is a big deal either. I agree with jdkrheum, helen rainier, etc.


  39. sacopenapa says:

    OBA OBA HAS KEPT ‘REDITION’ WITH AN EXECUTIVE ORDER TWO DAY AFTER TAKING OFFICE!!!!! Have a looki on how ObamaShortChange is ‘CHANGING’ from pre-election to post election! Plus, he said he would have plenty to say about US-backed Israeli massacre of Palestinians, but the only thing he had to say was the same rethoric from Washington. He mentioned ‘Palestinian suffering’ in the same phrase he said ‘Israeli suffering’. Nothing about the MASSACRE!!!!!
    ObamaShortChange!


  40. sectionop92 says:

    How come I find Chris Wallace’s “live and let die” very hard to believe?

    He really does need to go back to Journalism 100 and earn his degree. Obviously dad’s influence doesn’t go beyond the last name.


  41. Max-1 says:

    .

    Dear Mike Wallace,
    Your son babbles much, NO?

    .


  42. rogerD says:

    Old habits die hard, and old dumb asses fail to adapt.


  43. katy says:

    oops. sorry to leave you hangin’ jane…
    no, my sister moved to texas… at least it’s austin!
    but the move deepened her right wing nuttiness…
    she’s a big palin fan now, too…. uuuuuuugh.
    .

    game time…


  44. bspence11 says:

    This is NOT news. He made a mistake. It would be the same as if he said 2008, while we’re now in 2009. It takes a while to get used to saying President Obama. Come on TP, you’re better than this.
