The New York Times carried a story on President Obama’s speech this week in which he called for the nation to reduce its oil imports by one-third over the next decade.
As Jon Stewart has pointed out Obama is the eighth consecutive president to call for such action. The first seven crashed and burned.
The Times apparently realized this a bit too late. They added this wry, pointed and somewhat deflating addendum at the bottom of their story:
Correction: March 30, 2011
A previous version of this article misstated how many of the president's proposals to reduce the country's reliance on imported oil were new in his speech on Wednesday. None of them were, not one of them.
