Obama Refers to The Internet as "The Internets"

It is a 'what if Bush said it' that does not need the "what if". Bush did say it and was roundly poked fun at for it. While Obama's mistake was worse given the context, barely a peep has been uttered.

Video embedded below.



"George Bush got years of ridicule for referring to “the Internets” during the 2000 and 2004 elections. Will Obama get the same grief for his use of the term ...

There is one difference between this and Bush’s widely-ridiculed usage (which prompted its own Saturday Night Live sketch in 2004). Obama specifically wanted to conduct his townhall on the Twitters in order to impress younger voters with how hip he is. So will SNL do a skit about how that backfired on Obama? Color me … doubtful.
