How difficult is it to pronounce "Orion"? During a March 23, 2009 speech on green energy, Obama manages to mispronounce it several times --- despite the fact that the firm using the name (Orion Energy Systems) had just finished a presentation to Obama a few minutes earlier. Here's a clue for Obama: the teleprompter should have phonetic spellings.

Obama's "Profit-Earning Ratio" Gaffe

Rush Limbaugh, March 6, 2009:

"There is no confidence in the American market right now. But let's go back to something else President Obama said on Tuesday. President Obama suggested that the time was right for Americans to start investing in the stock market again because profits-to-earning ratios were good now, but you gotta have a long-term view here. Well, there is no such thing as a profit-to-earnings ratio. It's price-to-earnings ratio. Now, admittedly, I don't know if it was a rhetorical mistake or if he really doesn't know. He's admitted he doesn't know much about the stock market. Why would he? It's a citadel of capitalism, and he's not interested in capitalism, nor are any of the people who have mentored him, who have influenced him or taught him at Harvard or wherever he's gone to school."
