But in the SOTU address he said the republicans want to "maintain the status quo on healthcare". That means they didn't propose any new solutions despite they have drawn up some bills and pushed for them to only be rejected.

No, it means exactly what he said, Republicans want to maintain the status quo on health care. In truth, the Republicans didn't offer up anything that would significantly change how health care works. They put up some half-assed tort reforms, that according to the CBO, would have resulted in dick, as far as savings go.

Plus he's a Constitutional Lawyer who I'm assuming studied the Constitution (so he can know how to piss on it I guess) and I would guess that he would have studied US History such as the Revolutionary War and the Marines who fought in it since the Marine Corps where founded before the Declaration of Independence was written much less the U.S. Constitution.

I've heard Obama reference the Marine Corps several times in speeches, without getting it wrong, and I'm pretty sure he knows who the fuck they are.
He either misspoke, or did not equate Navy Corpsmen as being pronounced the same way as Marine Corps. Get over it, it doesn't mean anything.
