[Star_Cards]

Everyone screws up when they talk sometimes. We say one thing when we meant to say another and we get our words mixed up, it happens daily to all of us probably. Only thing is, Bush and Obama are caught on camera doing it. It doesn't mean they are uneducated or that they are not book smart, it means they are human and make mistakes. Although it is funny, people using these quotes as a "reference" to the person being uneducated is assinine.

well said selby56.

Everyone who is behind the camera for that many hours are bound to mess up and miss speak. I don't think that means they are dumb.
