VP Quayle was roasted for his misspelling of potato Why was Obama treated similarly? Because the MSM doesn't report on what he does that is funny, mistaken or illegal.

    The last president that had the gravitas/experience/ethics for the job was Eisenhower. I think Goldwater did, but we got that worthless, lying sack of 5h|+ LBJ instead.

    And anyone who has heard the song would know how to spell the word - it's just drilled into your head.

    This is clearly someone who wasn't raised with that song as part of their heritage. Yet, since it is a black singer, everyone gives him a pass on the lyrics.

    He has no idea what the word is or means, how can you expect him to spell it?

    This is just another in a long string of statements, from the "57 States" debacle to "Cominsky Park" and beyond, which demonstrate that this President has a profound lack of familiarity with both the country which elected him and the culture he pretends to represent. Nevertheless, as long as he continues to champion the Progressive / Liberal agenda his ignorance on other matters will be overlooked by those who support that agenda.

    He deserves no respect so why should he know anything about it, including how to spell it.

    I don't think he realized his mistake right away. His supporters will just say Dan Quayle stole the e to spell potatoe.

    I wish the press would report on his really big blunders, like the one that the government can do a better job on health care than private markets can.

    It won't matter in any of the "57 states" he visited on the campaign trail.

    Or any of the gay bars he ever visited in Chicago, either,
