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 think this whole spelling thing is stupid, and makes us look small every day we drag it out. Yes, they got on Quayle for less, but tough. Life isn’t fair.

As I recall, they used the same “Barack is tired” excuse for his “57 states” gaffe as well.
FUBO.

Let’s be honest about this, shall we?
Obama is a dim-bulb on par with Plugs Obiden.
He can’t spell RESPECT because he has no concept or understanding of RESPECT.
He’s an asshat, plain and simple.
