My favorite is substituting "Calvary"
for "cavalry", several times in one interview. But unfortunately, it wasn't Obama. It was Victor David Hanson. He's a conservative classical scholar who finds evidence of the evils of Socialism in ancient Greece. Still, he wasn't the first, and he probably won't be the last to make that Boehner.

Most gaffes are just verbal typos, they don't really matter. Others aren't, and they do.

I'm actually surprised that Obama has made enough of the latter that they can fill an entire post. But, at the risk of bringing up yet another inconvenient truth, let us recall Dubya has filled up an entire website with his howlers.

I know its petty to bring that up, but after all, petty is the whole reason for this thread, isn't it?

Lets hope Obama's record isn't that lengthy after he's finished his eight years. :-)
