Team Romney calls out Obama for misspelling 'Ohio' at campaign stop
The Hill ^ | 8/22/12 | Alicia M. Cohn

Posted on 08/22/2012 3:16:43 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

President Obama needed a do-over to spell “Ohio” correctly on the campus of Ohio State University this week.

Although Obama and several students at a campaign stop Tuesday morning at Sloopy’s Diner on the campus of OSU tweeted out photos of the president correctly posing as the “I” in Ohio, another student supplied a photo of a spelling mishap to Mitt Romney’s campaign.

The photo, tweeted by Romney’s Ohio communications director, Christopher Maloney, shows Obama and three students all a little confused about how to spell the state’s name, with Obama holding his hands up in what seems to be an “H” and as the third letter.

“A word of advice to @BarackObama: It's ‘O-H-I-O’ that has 18 electoral votes, not 'O-I-H-O,’ ” Maloney tweeted.

In defense of Obama and his “OIHO team”:

1. Obama is left handed and a lib to boot. Give him some slack.

2. If they were looking in a mirror it was spelled correctly. How do we know that they weren’t looking in a mirror?

3. From Obama’s perspective it was spelled correctly Left To Right. Put yourself in his shoes (if you can stand it) and you will see what I mean.

I’m surprised someone from the Obama campaign didn’t say the picture was flipped horizontally.

Well, there you have it; from his point of view, he’s correct. :)

Make fun of his telepromter and get his cage rattled because we all know bozo the clown does not take it lightly , no , infact he will lose it when one makes fun of him.

They need to parody this, anytime he gets ridiculed, Obama gets pissed off and shows his inner petulant little 5 year old side, wanting to stomp his feet about.

Next time Romney is in Ohio he should bring out a teleprompter with OIHO written on it, stare at it, show it to the crowd and go "oh, well that explains a lot."

“purse fights”

Love it!

And, you are correct. Running a campaign of “gotcha!” is a loser.
