Yesterday, President Obama said in a speech corpsemen, instead of corpsman three times, and now today he had this to say:
Obama: 'She insisted she's going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt'

Yes,
those are the words of the president, last night at the Democratic
National Committee fundraiser in Washington. After listing his
administration's accomplishments and vowing that "our most urgent task
is job creation," Obama pledged to keep fighting for a national health
care system. "We knew this was hard," Obama said. And then he described
a letter he received from a campaign worker who suffered from breast
cancer and has since died:
I got a letter -- I got a note today
from one of my staff -- they forwarded it to me -- from a woman in St.
Louis who had been part of our campaign, very active, who had passed
away from breast cancer. She didn't have insurance. She couldn't afford
it, so she had put off having the kind of exams that she needed. And
she had fought a tough battle for four years. All through the campaign
she was fighting it, but finally she succumbed to it. And she insisted
she's going to be buried in an Obama t-shirt.
Many observers have noted that the president often seems
extraordinarily self-referential. It's all about him, they say. But
even those critics might be a little taken aback by the "buried in an
Obama t-shirt" remark. Is it really that much about him?
