Correction from White House: President didn’t say he’s ‘mad living here’

Note to critics of President Obama and any remaining birthers out there: Contrary to what the White House originally claimed, the president didn’t actually say he was “mad” living here.

An official transcript from the White House from a Sunday event recognizing the Kennedy Center Honorees sent out that night quoted Obama saying during his remarks, “I’m mad living here a little bit.”

What? The leader of the country is actually angered by residing here? The horror!

But before any Obama opponents could start getting that quote printed on bumper stickers, the White House sent out a correction. On Monday morning, the White House’s Office of the Press Secretary blasted out an email with a subject line that read: “CORRECTION: Remarks by the President at Reception for Kennedy Center Honorees.” Got to love the all-caps sense of urgency.

It turns out that Obama didn’t tell the crowd, “I’m mad living here a little bit,” but instead said, “I’m ad-libbing here a little bit.”
