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.
The Washington Post quickly posted a defense of the president claiming that the erroneous photo had been photoshopped. They also believed that they had caught Mitt Romney Ohio spokesman Christopher Maloney for erroneously tweeting the photo.
It got worse from there, before the Post finally backed off the ledge.

Must have been thinking about Ohau, Hawaii when he did this. Thanks smoothsailing.
[snip] “OIHO” is actually a native [Kenyan/Hawaiian/Indonesian] word for “Where’s the golf course? [/snip]
PJ Media is a solid conservative website and I’m happy to give them hits.
I suggest you take up the web ads with them. The one you mention is paid for by the Democratic Governors Association.
Taking money from Democrats to finance a conservative website has a certain sweet irony to it. No conservative who visits PJ Media will support Democrats, that’s for sure. The Dems are wasting their money and PJ Media is taking it to the bank! Win-Win.
Obama Is Hitler Incarnate
Another word on “potato”...
How do most of us see this word most of our lives?
A: on bags of PotatoEs at the grocery store. Every week of our lives. Big whoop...
And Obama's pen pocket is on the wrong side. It wasn't reversed. Obama is an idiot and so are the idiots with him.
I have already contacted them, and wait in the silence.
It doesn’t look photo shopped unless they are wearing women’s blouses. ????
Pit stains and out of order.
If you get a reply, let me know. Post it here, it could be interesting. Thanks.
If Hugh Hewitt doesn’t get his guys to do an OIHO edit of his “We Don’t Give A Damn” bumper, he hasn’t got a hair on his backside.
Tell me again how stupid Bush and Quayle were? We now have a president who can count to Oiho and a VP who can count to potato.
See, I knew it!
omg, and he thinks there's 57 states too.
What do you expect though, from a foreigner?
Payback from the guy in post #50.
And Obumbles always wears his watch on his left wrist (see this week’s Newsweek cover).
**********************************
That is something I’ve noticed before. He’s a Southpaw (left handed) and all I’ve known wear their watches on their right wrist.
As a righty, I always wore mine on the left wrist, but discarded the watch after retirement 12 years ago!
I’m a lefty and always wear my watch on my left wrist. Not sure the value of putting it on my non-dominant arm.
