Obama mispells R S P E C T

[Token Republican]

President Obama apparently misspelled the word respect by leaving out the first E.

Initial investigations point to Dan Quayle, who was found with yet another extra E at the end of his potato(e).

Quayle denied involvement, stating the extra E was to be donated to the city of Ygrjvslhv.

Carry on.

9. Yup.

People make mistakes.

It pays to remember that, though, and have the same standards for people in general. Many don't.

Or they have higher standards for people that barely graduated high school 20 years ago and work grunt jobs than for a Harvard educated former professor.

11. More bizarrely, "Token Republican" thought that was worthy of a thread.

13. I found it amusing because

(a) it made news. Its nonsense

(b) it involved a missing letter e

(c) it tied into a Quayle reference involving a surplus e

(d) it was onion linkable.

Sheesh.

21. Brawawawawaaaaaaaa..

"The spelling error did not bring down the energy of the night as Patti LaBelle kicked off the performances with "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," bringing the President and First Lady to their feet."

"Let's just hope that if the President ever welcomes the Village People that he practices his Y-M-C-A."

File that under STUPID.

23. Actually, I always thought Dan Quayle got a raw deal with the "Potatoe" incident.

This sort of thing can happen to anyone, especially in public circumstances. So, harassing President Obama (or anyone else) about misspelling a word is just plain silly.
