Did Obama Misspell Syracuse on ESPN?

The ABC story on Obama's basketball picks consisted of highlights from corporate cousin ESPN's session with Obama as he filled out a big bracket chart, and World News included Obama's spelling challenge.

“Should be an R in there,” ESPN's Andy Katz corrected Obama upon spotting how the President had misspelled “Syracuse” as “Sycacuse.”

"Sycacuse" is ebonics for "Syracuse."

I think Jimmy Brown spelled it "Syracuse."

But then, Jimmy Brown didn't get an affirmative action degree in community organizing.

I have been told that Barack H. Obama is a brilliant man. I have never seen one shred of evidence to support that position.

[KoRn]

Why in God’s name is the President of The United States even doing such a thing in the first place?!?!

[thecodont]

Someone took those classes for him.

[o-n-money]

That is the word he uses on people that don’t vote his way.
I’m “SYCASUSE”

[Rebelbase]

““Sycacuse.” “

That’s the Kenyan phonetic pronunciation.

No wonder he doesn’t want anyone to see his college transcripts.

[bigbob]

Hey, he went to HARVARD! Whass yer pointe?

[Gator113]

Obama’s potato moment.

[fortheDeclaration]

It is a wizard of oz technique.

Keep saying something over and over again, and people will believe it.

Suckacuse

[thecodont]

He seems to have trouble writing the letter “E.”

His “O” looks more like this

`O’

[Gator113]

Is this that “Negro dialect” thing that Biden the Brain was talking about?

[OrangeHoof]

It’s ebonics, you racists! Just like Oakkklahomie or Loozanna.

The city and university ought to change their names just to keep from offending black people.

Sycacuse. Get used to it.

[ErnBatavia]

FAIL !!

[Fiddlstix]

Thank goodness he didn't try to spell potato
Potatoe

[secret garden]

Don’t let him pick your team - not like he can spell it anyway.

[denydenydeny]

Thank goodness he didn't try to spell potato Potatoe

If he did, the media would produce academics on the nightly news to inform us that "potatoe" was the correct spelling. Children's textbooks would get changed.

[Intolerant in NJ]

And they used to laugh about George Bush being dyslexic.....

[Fiddlstix]

Don't you remember when Dan Quale made his little slip up and spelled it potatoe?
The media was all over it like flies on sh!t and even a year later still all over it.

But, you're right. They'd change all the dictionaries if it had been 0B0Z0
