Did Obama really say "You-tay" for the Ute Tribe?
Here on FR

Came across someone in FR thread who said that Obama in Grand Junction today mispronounced the name of the Ute Tribe of American Indians. Is this so, and can we please have a youtube?

I mean, we're talking about the Man With The Golden Tongue. Surely he wouldn't have said something so awkward, so ignorant?

I wouldn’t know how to say it. Not sure how this is supposed to get us any traction against him.

It was reported here:

12:51 a.m. Editor: With the exception of remarks on the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy, Obama largely delivered his standard stump speech.
Gaff of the address would be when the Illinois Sen. referred to the “You-tay” Indians, instead of Ute.

It is pronounced, “Youth”

It’s easy to say. The e is silent. Think Utah. The State is named after the tribe.

Vinny Gambini: Uh... what word?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Two what?
Vinny Gambini: What?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Uh... did you say 'yutes'?

When in Pennsylvania a few weeks ago, he called the Penn State Football Team the "Nittaly Lions."

He’s supposed to be such a big basketball fan. Do you he’s ever watched the Utah Utes play? Nah, too many white guys on the Utes.
What did he call the Penn State Nittany Lions? I know he messed that up too.

Not easy to mispronounce a three-letter word.
I wonder if Obama has ever been to “Lambert Field” ...

I’m sure when he is in Indiana it will be the Hosers and the Boilermackers.
