Prior to Obama, has any President of the United States said the word "stupid" during a press conference?

Not on issues where they admit they don't know all the facts.

Our street raised Pres. from Chi. has gone from low class to no class.

Looks like President Teleprompter wasn't working again. Good point.. I'm not sure if a president has ever said "stupid" before.... but Obama is the first president to go on the tonight show. (lucky us)

Prior to the comparable Jimmy Carter, no president used the word 'malaise' in a press conference, either.

With all the targets in government there are to point your finger at, you choose the word "stupid"?

Priorities really are askew in this day and age aren't they?

For crying out loud don't you know they've made Strawberry Peanut butter M&Ms?????

Talk about wrong....

Obama speaks like a true special olympian.

Usually they choose their wording better than that. Usually they don't automatically label members of our law enforcement as racist without all the facts either...

No president has told us outright that the blue pill is better than the red pill either.

Talk about blatant!

I'll pay full price for the red pill, thank you.

what's the problem with stupid? it's a valid word that properly and distinctly expresses something. i'd say, as long as it gets the point across, it's pretty stupid to avoid saying something out of concern for how stupid it sounds, because anyone who isn't stupid will realize that it's quite stupid to frown upon the use of the word stupid. unless, of course, the word is used improperly, which IS quite stupid. but i'm sure he used it right.

ROTF!! Actually, it was "stupidly" as in "the police acted stupidly" - at least his grammer was correct, if not his train of thought. LOL

He also used the word "poopypants".

The level of discourse sans teleprompter is amazing!
