Brain Dead in O-I-H-O

Ed Driscoll

Bless his heart.

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.

OMG!!! Obama waas IN the SPELLING!!! What an ARSE!!!

[Third Person]

Putting the misspelling aside, there is something very gay about the picture.

[gorush]

See post #13.

But the shirt buttons are then backwards...Stevie666

[Yulee]

He is spelling it right to left, just like any other Muslim who knows that you read Arabic right to left.

[rarestia]

Astute observation and completely correct. Thank you, sir.

If it was a film negative, you could flop it and make it right.

Their shirts would have been buttoned backwards. :)

[ExGeeEye]

...and then, to the observant, their shirts look wrong.

If it was a film negative, you could flop it and make it right.

Be careful. In this day and age, that statement will more than likely be branded as racist.

And Obumbles always wears his watch on his left wrist (see this week’s Newsweek cover).

[Joe 6-pack]

"...men’s shirts button in the way shown..."

I see no "men" in that photo.

[Perdogg]

No the OIHO photo is correct, look at the breast pocket.

[BenLurkin]

Hussein is left handed.

Which wrist does Hussein wear his watch on?

[gorush]

I think that was the point I was trying to make.

[BenLurkin]

...

[Political Junkie Too]

The picture is right. Obama wears his watch on his left arm.
