Michelle Obama called Bruce Braley ‘Bruce Bailey.’ Oops.
Washington Post ^ | 10/10/2014 | Sean Sullivan

Posted on 10/10/2014 9:42:44 PM PDT by iowamark

It's been a rough campaign for Rep. Bruce Braley (D), who is running for the U.S. Senate in Iowa. It got a bit worse Friday when first lady Michelle Obama campaigned for him.

First, she called him "Bruce Bailey." [seven times] (Bill Clinton also recently made the same mistake.) Then she said he was a Marine Corps veteran. (He's not.)

The Des Moines Register posted video of the event:...

Somebody quickly pounced the Braley/Bailey flub. The Web site votebrucebailey.com redirects to the campaign Web site of Republican nominee Joni Ernst.

“...Obama mispronounced Braley’s name as “Bailey” seven times before the crowd got involved as she was reciting a campaign web address. As people in the crowd shouted “Braley.” Obama responded: “What did I say? I’m losing it. I am getting old.”

Obama laughed before adding: “I’ve been traveling too much.”

She then correctly and emphatically pronounced Braley’s name, adding: “I know where I am. I know what I’m doing.” The crowd cheered and applauded.

Within half an hour of the event’s conclusion Republicans had claimed the domain name “VoteBruceBailey.com” and linked it directly to the campaign website for Joni Ernst, Braley’s Republican opponent.”

Michelle Obama called Bruce Braley ‘Bruce Bailey.’

Bruce Braley is a racist for not immediately changing his name to Bruce Bailey.

Unforgivable considering she was probably surrounded by signs that had the man's name on them.

What a ditz.

“Then she said he was a Marine Corps veteran.”

Did she actually say “corps” or did she say, “corpse” like her “husband” does?

That vile woman doesn’t know or care who the Marine corpseman is or what he is running for. She is sent out like a puppet. Just like her husband. Can you imagine how seething she must be when she gets back to the white hut after these events? I would venture she knows her lavish lifestyle is up in two years and if she wants to maintain it she has to put in work.

Right! And the left all had their laughs recently when Sarah Palin mistakenly mentioned 1400 Pennsylvania Ave as the WH address.

Gaffes by the left go unnoticed. Or, at least, unreported.

It's hard to keep up with all of Obama's gaffes, but pronouncing OB/GYN as O-Bee-Guy-Knee recently was another one that never saw the light of day on most of the MSM outlets.
