Remember the Spelling B Dan Quayle was at and he went with the way the school spelled Potato? Potatoe even showed the press the card it was spelled on but did not want to call anyone out on it to embarrass them? The media made him out to be the dumbest guy ever.
Well same thing happens to Obama and will the media make him out to be the dumbest guy ever?
While the President was paying tribute to Aretha Franklin, he had a hard time with the spelling of a word famously spelled out in one of her best known songs.
"When Aretha first told us what R-S-P-E-C-T meant to her, she had no idea it would become a rallying cry for African Americans, and women, and then everyone who felt marginalized because of what they looked like or who they loved," Obama said to chuckles from the audience.
