Aretha Franklin has much R-E-S-P-E-C-T for President Barack Obama regardless of his spelling skills.
At a White House tribute to the "Women of Soul" last Thursday, Obama dropped the initial "E'' when trying to spell out "respect" as the queen of soul does in her famous song. He was spelling out the word as part of Franklin's introduction.
"I'm sure the President had much on his agenda and was just a little tired," the 71-year-old singer said in a statement Monday.

American blacks would lie down and die for this guy, even though he’s not an American black man - and arguably not an American of any color - and probably secretly despises them. I honestly don’t understand the mystique.

Always an excuse, never taking responsibility. Is he a man or a child? A rhetorical question.

Always the excuses. If I were black I’d be sorely ashamed.

Imagine if Bush had done the same thing. We would have heard of chimpy McHitler on every news program but now they go out of their way to make excuses for this moron.

It really is very simple. He got confused.
He isn't used to saying so many syllables without an "I" in there.

Obama was in Indonesia when RESPECT was a hit in the US.
As he wrote in his book, he was listening to the beautiful sound of the Muslim call to prayer.
