AP changes quotes by presidents--if the pres is a Democrat and the change will cover a major gaffe

Which president said this?

The Panama [sic] is being widened so that these big supertankers can come in. Now, that will be finished in 2015. If we don't deepen our ports all along the Gulf — places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida — if we don't do that, those ships are going to go someplace else. And we’ll lose jobs.

I very much doubt that you know who said that.

You don't know because what was reported by the U.S. media was...different.

Here's what the Associated Press actually reported him saying.  See if you can spot the difference:

"If we don't deepen our ports all along the Gulf — (and in) places like Charleston, S.C., or Savannah, Ga., or Jacksonville, Fla. — if we don't do that, these ships are going to go someplace else and we'll lose jobs."

If you have at least average intelligence you quickly realized that the first statement implied that Charleston, Savannah and Jacksonville were all on the Gulf Coast, when in reality all three are of course on the Atlantic coast.  Did the speaker not know this, or was he just overwhelmed by the daunting task of stringing complex concepts together?

Obviously the AP changed the speaker's words--inside a quote, no less--to make him look better.  And why would they want to cover a gaffe to make a president look better?

You might ask 'em.

The guy who uttered the above quote wasn't Dan Quayle, but the Lightworker, B.H. Obama.

Think the AP would have covered for a Republican president?

Finally:  Do you really believe this is the ONLY thing the AP has changed to protect Duh Won?  Since they're demonstrably willing to re-write his words to cover for him, if he did something really nefarious do you think they'd tell you the unvarnished truth?
