If ANY Republican, not just Bush or McCain, or Palin, it would be a national media phenomenon, you’d hear it on late night talk shows for weeks, etc. It would become a permanent theme.

But Obama said it. We will hear nothing of this from the media. Nothing.

If you take this cumulatively—”Wellesleyan,” “Nittaly Lions,” “Ooh-tay”—it indicates a person with absolutely no curiousity beyond his own world.

Hey, we don’t even have an audio bite yet. There is such a thing as a “tipping point”—and Obama sold himself as the Messiah of Eloquence. All of his Obumbles can be strung together into a very funny internet ad.

What’s the problem, stop jumping on Obama, the “You-tay” tribe is a well known offshoot of the Nitaly Lions...geez..give the guy a break.

Don’t think he is going to get too much support from the Native Americans if this group has anything to say about it.

If the MSM reported political news without bias, and they compared Bush’s gaffes with Obama’s foot-in-mouth disease, then, they would have to declare Bush this century’s Albert Eisenstein.

You can read can’t you. Ute, if I saw that in a sentence I would automatically assume the correct pronunciation by the e on the end. There is a pretty good chance that I would have known because I also know how to say Utah, which is just a few miles from Grand Junction.

I nor you are running for President of the United States, someone should have advised him if he didn’t know.

Add his “wreck havoc” instead of wreak havoc...


I’m a language snob, too, but that sounds correct to me.

Wreak means to cause or inflict. Thus to wreak havoc means causing or inflicting disorder.

Wreck means to destroy, or can also mean something, like a car or boat that has suffered damage or destruction.

Are the “you tays” related to the “nava joe” Indians?
