Pres. Obama to make a "personal" announcement tomorrow

[Lex]

in the Rose Garden according to NBC twitter. Interesting. Or not?

"President Obama making personal announcement in Rose Garden tomorrow afternoon - NBC News"

:shrug:

1. "Personal" is definitely intriguing

No clue as to what the topic is?

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. I believe that means "will personally make an announcement", not announce something personal

Looks like it'll relate to the debt limit crisis.

[Lex]

3. Really? They should just say that then

but journalism being what it is . . .

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. Yes - our journalists no longer know how to use language.

Which is dine, since all they do is regurgitate whatever the government tells them to write, or whatever their corporate owners tell them to write.

4. How about personnel announcement?

[Lex]

9. That brings to mind Roseanne Rosanna Danna.

:)

23. It just goes to show you, it's always something...

if it ain't one thing, it's another."

14. Good point. A Tweet could easily be misspelled by THIS press corps.

I would think an announcement about budget/Debt Ceiling developments would be in a more formal venue, such as the East Room or directly from the Oval Office.

5. He is supposed to announce Cordray tomorrow, but I wouldn't think that personal

or even of Rose Garden import.

[TheWraith]

7. Maybe Michelle is knocked up.

Although more likely they just mean to say that he'll personally be making an announcement.

8. Oh, more tender kisses. I can't wait. n/t

[stevedeshazer]

10. Surrender?

Acknowledging that he's completely a product of Wall Street?

Damn. I hope it not so.

11. Spelling Error..

19. OMG! It *is* a Roseanne Rosanna Danna moment!

*shaking my head*

[lumberjack_jeff]

27. More like Emily Litella

"What is all this I hear about endangered feces?"

[SidDithers]

28. What's wrong with violins on TV?...nt

[Tennessee Gal]

30. LOL!

:rofl:

[woo me with science]

34. Great. The person who doesn't know the difference between "personal" and "personnel"

has a well-paying job at NBC.

[Snotcicles]

12. He has decided to --- wash that gray right out of his hair. nt

[Poll_Blind]

13. Smart money is on his prostate.

Just sayin'

It's the odds.

15. Apparently someone mistyped 'personnel', see:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/breakingnews-sparks-confusion-on-twitter-with-obama-making-%E2%80%98personal-vs-personnel%E2%80%99-announcement-typo/

"We can confirm through Mediaite White House Correspondent Tommy Christopher that the announcement is one in the same,
as the press calendar for tomorrow does, in fact, have a “personnel announcement” scheduled for the Rose Garden tomorrow at 1:05 P.M."


Maybe MineralMan can cover this in a future "Visual Guide to Commonly Misspelled Words"..

20. At last, an actual reason for calling it 'human resources' instead

to avoid screw-ups by the media.

[Lex]

22. How funny and pathetic at the same time . . .

My 8th grade teacher would've been appalled.

[bluestateguy]

29. Not surprising, given the generally low level of intellect of people in the media today

Probably a bunch of losers in the newsroom who got their degrees from unaccredited online diploma mills.

[malaise]

16. He was hacked by Fox?

:evilgrin:

[Raine]

17. I'll be waiting with bated breath

:eyes:

[Riftaxe]

18. It's about time he addressed the dandruff crisis

if you ask me... :P

[Earth_First]

21. Is he going to further emphasize our inability to understand complex political situations?

:shrug:

24. Calling Mineral Man......

[MineralMan]

31. Hi, there!

Simple spelling error by whomever types that stuff in. It happens. Other than that, I have no comment.

[Gin]

35. that simple spelling error totally changed the message.....

at first I thought he was going to say something about his family or some "personal" news...so...a misspelled word can make a big difference.

[MineralMan]

38. Yes, it can, which is why I'm writing that series of posts on spelling

errors.

[bluestateguy]

25. Trust me the media trolls will find out before he announces it

they always do.

Heaven forbid we are asked to be patient about anything.

26. Cat's Been Let Out Already

Personnell issue..

[BlueIris]

33. Darn. I was hoping for fireworks. Or, you know...

:nuke:

[BlueIris]

32. Fun. If it's the announcement I think it is, this is going to be great.

:popcorn:

[onenote]

36. So clue the rest of us in. What did you think it would be?

[HappyMe]

37. lol! Because when I want

accurate news, I turn to twitter. :eyes:
