Political Wire’s “Correction of the Day”

By: Caleb Howe (Diary)  |  June 21st, 2011 at 06:53 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Via Political Wire:

“Over the last 15 months we’ve created over 2.1 million private sector jobs. (Laughter.)”

– President Obama, in an official transcript of a fundraising speech this week. The transcript was later corrected by replacing “Laughter” with “Applause”.

Dude. I am “applauding” so hard right now that I snorted a little.

    Applauding causes milk to be ejected from my nose.

    Did they post this under corrections? Someone is in big trouble.

    I read the release, which was on the White House website, when it stated ‘(laughter).” Now, I see that it has been changed to “(applause).” But what is the truth? Did the White House just doctor the transcript to mislead the public? Or was a mistake originally made in the transcript? If the former, this information should be blasted all over the place.
