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

[krb]

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.

LOL, there goes New Mexico, home of a dozen Native American tribes and a toss-up state! I bet he trumps that and comes out with Nave-a-joe next!

Vinny Gambini: It is possible that the two yutes...
Judge Chamberlain Haller: ...Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word?
Vinny Gambini: Uh... what word?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Two what?
Vinny Gambini: What?
Judge Chamberlain Haller: Uh... did you say 'yutes'?
Vinny Gambini: Yeah, two yutes.
Judge Chamberlain Haller: What is a yute?
[beat]
Vinny Gambini: Oh, excuse me, your honor...
[exaggerated]
Vinny Gambini: Two YOUTHS.

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

"Nittaly Lions??? Huh??

[JennysCool]

Not easy to mispronounce a three-letter word.

I wonder if Obama has ever been to “Lambert Field” ...

[dfwgator]

Ixnay on the U-tay.

[Cinnamontea]

Nittally, You-tay . . . If Bush had said these two words, we'd be hearing about them for years.

[beckysueb]

Notice how he pronounces Pakistan? He calls it Pahkeestahn. He has an Arabic accent at times.

[P.O.E.]

[cookcounty]

I’m the one that put it up here. It was in the online Denver Post.

[Monti Cello]

This guy is poor role model for the Utes of America.

[combat_boots]

You go to Harvard in MA and Columbia U in NY, but don’t know about the Nittany Lions in PA?

You live among Hawaiians and have a mother from Kansas, but can’t say Ute?

This guy’s not from around here. He’s not one of us.

[twister881]

Big Chief Flapping Ears no call us "You-tays" no more!

[JMJJR]

IIRC

I think he got that pronunciation from a South Park episode.

Go Trey !!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

If he talks to the sheep raisers will he call the sheep ewes?

E-e-we-e-s?

[Fresh Wind]

With all his talk of pigs lately, maybe he’s starting to speak Pig Latin.

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.
