How Hard is it to Keep Straight?

Apparently newscasters, especially on CNN, still have difficulty with Barack Obama’s name. Yes, we know it’s “foreign,” but let’s work on keeping our major (and radically different) political figures straight.

Mitt Romney is also known for making the same mistake twice in campaign speeches.

Everyone together now: BAA-ROCK OH-BAH-MA.
