Colorado Democrats Keep Confusing Republicans With Their Tricky Names Two weeks ago, a pro-life group called Americans United for Life released a one-minute radio ad in Colorado that referred to Congressman Ken Salazar five times. It would have been a lot more effective had it actually used the name John Salazar, since he's the Salazar that serves as a congressman in Colorado's 3rd district, while Ken, his brother, is the secretary of the Interior. It would probably have been smart to have someone look over the ad first, but hey, mistakes happen. But now Cory Gardner, a Republican state representative in Colorado running against Democratic congresswoman Betsy Markey, has made the same type of mistake, but worse. Gardner recently released an ad criticizing Markey for "voting for the most fiscally irresponsible budget in history." But Betsy Markey was actually one of the only Democrats to vote against President Obama's budget. Instead, Gardner's campaign had highlighted the vote of Congressman Ed Markey. He lives in Massachusetts, and is not Betsy Markey. Having the same last name as other people — Colorado Democrats' secret weapon.

It would have been more amusing if he confused her with Biz Markey.
I can't wait until these clowns have to deal with the names of foreigners.
Obama found the name of his daughter confusing in an interview on CNN. Sen Ted Kenney back in 2005 called Obama, Barack Osama Bin Laden.

You mean like Barry Hussein Barack Obama Soetoro? That's a pretty fucked up foreign name.

Michelle, W.H. misspell When it comes to typos and spelling, everyone makes mistakes... even the White House. UPDATE: On Wednesday morning, the White House sent out a corrected press release. -----------------------------------------------------------

In a White House press release sent Tuesday evening, there's a misspelling, and it's a big one: The first lady's first name.
"Michele and I are deeply saddened by the loss of life, injuries, and damage that have occurred as a result of the recent earthquake and tsunami in West Sumatra," reads the release.
Of course, the first lady's first name is spelled "Michelle," with two "l"'s. 
Barrack Hussein Obama
President of the United States of America said that some Americans ; "They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."
