Liverandbacon Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I know what probably happened. The government is notorious for having a backlog of paperwork. He was probably filling out a tonne(not to be confused with the US Ton equivalent to 2000 lbs, this would be the 2000 Kilograms) of paperwork regarding presidential stuff that had start dates in or around 2008 so most likely got used to filling in the year of 2008. Like contract begin and end dates which likely started before he was president. And in case anyone wonders... Yes, the government has more paperwork than even your job. Working for a government contractor means I have a boatload more paperwork. This makes a lot of sense. My job's about as non paperwork-focused as one can get with the government, but I still find myself filling out ungodly amounts of forms. If Obama had recently been filling out a bunch of busywork from 2008, I'd be more surprised if he got the date right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
