It is not quite the Dan Quayle “potatoe” incident, but President Obama today might not be amused to find a picture of him and some others spelling swing state Ohio as Oiho with their arms. Some are saying the picture is doctored or a mirror image. Either way it is getting some traction on social media though there is barely a mention of it in any other kind of media. I’ll bet the guy with the sweaty armpits is proud too.
Here is some of the fun being had at the Presidents expense. Are they being too hard on him? Did this actually happen?
FACT: “OIHO” is actually a native [Kenyan/Hawaiian/Indonesian] word for “Where’s the golf course?”

Obama “misspelling” OHIO is really a lesson in how self-centered he is. He spelled OIHO because that looked right FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE.
