Dan Quayle Misspells 'Potato' - YouTube
Vice President Quayle was given a card from the school that had the word spelled that way.

Also, p-o-t-a-t-o-e is a legitimate spelling, albeit uncommon.

He did not misspell the word.

The majority of Americans don't have a clue of how the federal government runs, who the justices of the Supreme court are or what their function is. .
Them maybe they should run for President......

It isn't "juvenile" to point out that this guy isn't smart. It's important to expose the truth about Obama to as many as possible, regardless the fact he will be in office till 2017. Why? Because we do not want to make this same mistake ever again. While I was never a fan of McCain, at least he isn't stupid, and as for round two, Romney and Ryan are far more intelligent than Obama, and understood the destructive path we are on, and they had the leadership skills to reverse course. Obama isn't a leader, and never has been.

Too many people blindly follow this Pied Piper who is leading this country back to the darker days of human history, of overlords and serfdom. Obama's ideology is 180 degrees out of phase with our Constitution, despite what he said, "...unlike the current president, I actually respect the Constitution." That was a lie, as he has also commented that the "Constitution is a charter of negative liberties," adding that it "says what the government can't do to you, but doesn't say what it should do on your behalf." Obama believs that it is purpose of government to "level the playing field" and to "equalize" outcomes. This "social justice" is completely contrary to the fundamental principles of our founding. Our founders believed that the purpose of government was to "secure [our] rights," and our government, and our Constitution was established to do just that. Obama has turned our system upside down.
Geez. There's enough purple prose in this post to rival a bodice buster.
Climb down and take a deep breath. You're gonna stroke out if you keep this nonsense turned up so high.
