Obama refers to his wife as 'Michael'

As written by Thomas Lifson.

There's no fool like a Teleprompter fool.

If anyone needs any further proof that Barack Obama merely says what the teleprompter tells him to, the remarks delivered at yesterday's cerceremony marking the new chairman of the joint chiefs provides it.  The President of the United States refers to his wife as "Michael."
Note that the president was addressing Admiral Mike Mullen and his wife, Deborah, and then speaks of "Michael and I" acknowledging the service of the Mullens' son Jack, "deployed today." "Michael and I" cannot refer to the president and the Admiral.

This gaffe can only be because there was a typo on the teleprompter. The alternative explanations are far-fetched:

1. He doesn't remember his wife's name and doesn't realize that Michael is predominantly a male name in this country..

2. He has secretly been carrying on a gay relationship, and his real partner in life is a dude named Michael.

3. Michelle has changed her name to Michael.

4. When reading a Teleprompter, Obama's conscious mind checks out, so that he can refer to his wife as "Michael" and never even notice. Those jokes about TOTUS now apply not just to the Oval Office, but the the personal living quarters of the White House.
