Having had to deal with the Thomas Eagleton veep freakout last week and his own Kerry in the bunnysuit moment yesterday, it’s time for Mr. Obama to commit 2012′s equivalent of the Dan Quayle “Potatoe” gaffe today:
Naturally, the Washington Post rushed to defend their candidate’s gaffe, as Charlie Spiering of the Washington Examiner notes:
An embarrassing photo of President Obama trying to spell Ohio with a group of students was snagged by Buzzfeed this afternoon, as Zeke Miller posted two different photos of the incident on their website.
Many Romney supporters quickly tweeted the photo, joking that the President didn’t know how to spell Ohio.

It can be done digitally as well...
Ah hah, very good.
Obama is not just a pansy socialist, he's a boob. Nice job, Democrats. Thanks for foisting this embarrassment off on us.
Although, how come the numb nuts on both sides of our Dork-in-cheif are making similar signs? IHIO
I caught that early on. It’s amazing what one can do to a photo with something as simple as a smartphone.
At least “potato” has more than four letters.
That’s funny. I claim that for my first ever tagline.
I just held my computer up to mirror.
