@BreakingNews Sparks Confusion On Twitter With Obama Making ‘Personal’ vs. ‘Personnel’ Announcement Typo

» 20 comments

Alas, President Obama has nothing personal to tell America in the Rose Garden tomorrow, though many on Twitter suddenly believed so for about an hour or so today. @BreakingNews, a self-explanatory Twitter feed owned by NBC News (with over 2.7 million followers), announced at around 6:15 PM today that the President would be making a “personal announcement” tomorrow afternoon. We can confirm that no, there is no drama in the White House to which we shall be privy– it is a personnel announcement that the President will deliver tomorrow.

The White House announced earlier today that former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray would take the helm at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. A few hours later, @BreakingNews announced that the President would also be making a “personal” announcement. 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.

As of press time, the error is still on the Twitter page and had been retweeted more than 100+ times.

Update: @BreakingNews has deleted the tweet, as of 7:20 PM. And Tweeted a correction at 7:28:

     He’s resigning to join the Senior Golf Tour on his 50th birthday !

    He thinks people want to watch him shoot 115 (with Presidential mulligans ).

    Emily Litella: What’s all this about violins on TV? I like violins… they sound very nice.
    Cheddar Cheese: That’s violence on TV, Emily, not violins.
    Emilly Litella: Oh, well that’s different. Nevermind.

    Yeah, I was thinking Michelle was a bit old to be preggers and that announcing you aren’t running for a second term after you raise whatever millions upon millions he raised last quarter wouldn’t really make sense either.

    Good thing Obama didn’t mispronounce “chutzpah”.   That apparently disqualifies a person for the presidency.

    Braking news!

    I was hoping it was an announcement to tell us Michelle was pregnant! That would have been so delightful.

    Darn!  I was so hoping he’ll announce he IS NOT running for re-election. 
    That guy who always said “I will not seek, nor will I accept …….” may have had a heart attack.

  • http://3chicspolitico.com/ SouthernGirl2

    What? Not run for re- election and starting off with an $86 million dollar war chest? You have got to be  kidding me?

    The education system needs a complete overhaul these days. Not many can seem to really write or spell anymore.

    What is the big deal?

    It is “one and the same,” not “one in the same.” What does “one in the same” even mean?

    If Obama supporters can afford to cough up an expected $1B in donations, they can pay higher taxes. Tax everyone, not just top 1%.

  • http://www.playhardsociety.com/ David Wilkinson

    Of that $1B, I’m guessing (not based on pure conjecture but past giving rates) that 99%+ *will* in fact have come from the top 1%. The remainder being people who passionately care about not getting screwed up their asses by braindead Republicans.

    Don’t be so regressive.

    He was confused about his birth date; he said next week is his birthday…I wonder what birth  certificate he was looking at when he said that!

    This post makes me laugh; can you imagine a similar one for anyone else?  anyone?  Only for he himself…because he is the smartest, bestest, briliantest, etc est in the whole wide world according to any and all liberal media Obama suck-up sychophant.

    Thank God they changed it before our entire way of life collapsed. I’m just so grateful to stay informed of life changing events like this.

    Everyone in America, nay, the world hope everything is alright at home for Barack and family. We wish you well and want you to know that your kids are very luck to have you and Michelle as parents. Keep up the great work both at home and in the Oval office.

    Did you even read this story? There is no “personal” announcement.

    Seriously, you are either the dumbest person here or you do the best parody of a brain dead liberal Ive ever seen.

    Every time someone tells me, in essence, that “proper grammar isn’t important anymore”, I’ll show them this story.
