Part of the motivation for so many of us noticing THIS particular slip is that Mr. Obama is the Commander In Chief of our armed forces...and when the Commander of the Corps considers you a Corpse, it's more than a little unsettling. Additionally, and especially for those of us who happen to be military veterans, we tie the "slip" in with the infamous photo of Mr. Obama (prior to the election) being photographed on the deck of a U.S. Navy warship with our flag flying proudly. Three people show in that photo, one of them Hillary Clinton. Two of the people are standing at attention and saluting the flag. Obama is standing with his BACK to the flag, clearly refusing to salute, clearly NOT respecting this most important symbol of the United States of America. To have such a person giving orders determining the life and death of our warriors is creepy to say the least.
This is about MUCH more than a simple "verbal slip".
